If this smile says anything, it's how we're feeling this morning!! After daddy fed her a later meal of cereal, we also gave her some Tylenol for the third(!) tooth that's coming in. She then slept for almost 11.5 hours last night! BIG smiles on all of our faces this morning! 
We also celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last week! To celebrate, we try to get away for a weekend somewhere in Indiana each year. This year was Corydon, IN. We stayed at a sweet B&B there, visited a few wineries, toured the Marengo Caves and treated ourselves to massages.
NOTE: Video is a few minutes of her eating and eating and eating. Twenty seconds may be sufficient viewing time :)
Of course, when the camera came out, the rolls slowed down. But you get the idea. (Don't forget to pause the music to listen to this)
She is now a SUPER roller! She went from rolling over on her 4 month birthday to rolling across the entire living room on the day before her 5 month birthday. She rolls. And rolls. And rolls. But only to the right. She hasn't discovered there's a left. So, we pick her up, turn her around and let her roll back to the other end of the room!
And when she gets too tired, she forgets she can roll at all. That usually happens on her tummy, and she gets mad. This mad:
And as I stare at that open mouth, I am reminded that she has two teeth that just poked through! They're sharp to the touch but still a little hard to find with your eyes. Thankfully they're through, and she doesn't seem to be in as much pain!
We had a great time getting to celebrate Jimmy and Emily, as well as introducing Anabelle to all of the Vanovers. Here is another rare family photo!
Mimi went with us to the outlet mall last week to stock up on some clothes for the growing girl. She is 4.5 months old, and we had to buy her 12 month sleepers!! 9 months would work, but she'll be out of those soon, too. So, we found some adorable fall clothes for her in 9mos and great sleepers in 12mos. The ironic thing is that her sleepers have rubber grips on the feet, because most children wearing these should be walking. We love all 18 pounds, 26 inches of her!
Daddy lunch dates will forever be part of our weeks. We both adore that time with him!
And a rare family photo. Thanks to Mimi for this one!
Anabelle isn't so sure about the new baby that daddy is holding. She was happy to check him out, though.
The next week, we made a trip up to Muncie for Anabelle to meet my friend, Phyllis, from BSU. I was awarded a scholarship to college in honor of Phyllis' late husband, Bob. Ever since, we've kept in touch and get to see eachother occasionally. This week was Anabelle's first visit to meet her. Since I am one of Phyllis' "kids," Anabelle is now one of her "grandkids."
Of course, while we were in Muncie, we spent time with Aunt Abby. We wish Aunt Rachie lived just as close!
Here is her starting a smile. Whole mouth and all. It ended with her eating the bunny. That's another favorite of hers, eating anything and everything that comes her way.
Anabelle uses her hands so well now. She holds objects, reaches for toys and loves holding her feet. This week, her feet became a new chew toy, too. Of course, she loves the Colts, too! She's a great little cheerleader.
The exersaucer is one of her favorites, as I'm sure most other four month olds would agree. One Saturday last month, Mike and I tackled the task of painting our garage-- walls and ceilings. It was a LONG day. Mike worked really hard while I balanced caring for her and helping him. You know the line, "You might be a redneck if..." Well, we think we might be rednecks because of the following picture:
It's our hillbilly tent protecting Anabelle from the sun, while she played in the driveway so we could paint. We just might be rednecks!
She loves to stand and apparently loves apples, too.
Papa and Mimi were in town and ended up meeting us at the orchard, too.
Three years ago, Mike and I had our photo taken here. We've added a sweet little apple to our tree!
And the hat, which didn't make it to the photo shoot.
