And Just Like That...

And just like that... sleepless nights, newborn poop, infant tubs, night time bottles... are all over with.  We no longer have a newborn.  We can't even hardly say we have an infant.  We have a full blown baby!  Which makes me so sad and so happy... just like everything else in parenthood.

It's been awhile since my last post because things have been a little busy for us.  Jason and I both have extra responsibilities at work that keep us really busy whenever we're not being mommy and daddy.  Since it's been awhile, it seems a lot has changed!

Annie is eating baby food... which she LOVES!  And she's been sleeping 11 1/2 hours at night.  I saw a newborn in church today and it almost made me cry... I already miss the itty bitty, squishy, football, cuddle-in-the-middle-if-the-night phase.  Whether we're going to have a third has been a major topic of conversation at our house, but the only conclusion we come to is that it's too early to decide.

Deep breath... (this is long)... here's what we've been up to...

Hands down, the world's best nanny.  I seriously think she loves my girls as much as I do. And I think the girls love her as much as me! She even visits on the weekend once in awhile to give Jason and I a chance to go out together.  When you don't have family in town, that is priceless!


Miss Annie started rolling over... oh... around a month and half ago.

Since then she has mastered it and is now mobile.  She likes to roll to the Christmas tree!

Toes... she loves them!

Boots... she loves them!

We went with Aunt Danielle to the "turning on of the lights" at Pearl Street in Boulder.  (Santa is in the background.)  Lily is starting to pick up on the Santa thing.  I don't think she understands just how much more exciting she makes Christmas for Jason and I!

We had both of our families out to visit for Thanksgiving this year.  We rented a condo in Breckenridge.  It was a VERY enjoyable weekend!  We had so much fun!
The turkey weighed more than Annie.

Everyone in the cul-de-sac coordinated lights this year.  We love where we live!


Annie's first snow day!

Lily got some Dora's stickers.  And this is where they ended up.  


And that's what Annie has to say.

Other than the mess... she's become a really good helper!
