Annie has been going through a bit of a cranky phase of late (and by that I mean cranky for Annie). Her teeth are coming in - very slowly but getting there. She is running low grade fevers and the inflammation from her gums is causing a build up of fluid in her ears so she has very miserable times of days. That being said she is also forced each day to endure the chaos of the big kids and all of their activities, friends, travel and affection - sometimes not a bad thing but sometimes tiring on a baby. Bob and I have been keeping Annie up for a half hour after the big kids go to bed just to get some time alone with her and spoil her a little - she loves the attention and we love fawning all over her - especially with the prospect fo less time for this in a few months. Last night Annie could not keep it together and so Bob gave her her "night night" (the blankie Grammy made her) and I went to find her a binkie - we had obviously kept her up too late because in 2.3 seconds she was sound asleep without her binkie. So we passed her back and forth and then finally put her into bed just in time for Molly to wake up with a tummy ache.
Daddy and Annie - she could not keep her eyes open for another minute.
Look at those big rosy cheeks and the sweet little tongue sticking out!
From another angle - The tongue stays there all night until she puts her binky in - how cute!
Annie's tiny little hand holding onto her Daddy - I love those dimples on her knuckles!In other news - Peter is officially one week away from his last thumb sucking experience and SO very proud of himself - as he should be!
Molly is preparing for school by reading all of Peter's 1st grade books from last year and is amazingly skilled at sounding out long, hard words!
That's all for today - Thanks for listening!
GNM - ILY!
