She no longer wants to sit when we're holding her on our laps, she tries to stand herself up. So, our entire photo shoot was her scooching her bottom down as she tried to get some traction with her legs. It was a bit challenging, but we did our best!
Anabelle still loves grabbing her dress to show off her tummy. If her dresses are as delicious as they are adorable, I'm sure they are mighty tasty. Daddy thought he'd try it out, too.
My favorite boppy shot... We've decided that because we're always opening our mouths really wide to say hi or smile at her, she thinks it's the proper greeting now. When she's giving us big gummy grins, they begin with a wide open mouth. So sweet!
Her Tio & Tia gave her this sweet outfit, and Rebecca sent her the most beautiful pink mary jane shoes. She was able to wear the whole ensemble to church this week and was probably the best dressed girl there (definitely better than mommy!)
Such a big girl!! She has incredible head/neck control and loves looking around. We just love watching her grow!
It's been a wonderful summer, especially because our schedules have slowed down quite a bit from pre-baby. We've even been home a few weekends! As Mike tells people, our new favorite hobby is staring at her. Lately it's been playing with her, getting giant gummy grins, introducing her to new surroundings and kissing her constantly!
We also get to have lots of daddy lunch dates, which we all love! We are able to have daddy lunch dates each week because I am now officially a Stay at Home Mommy! We tried to work out an arrangement with my work to allow me to hold on to something part-time, but they need someone full time and can't accommodate both. So, as of August 18th, I am officially employed as Anabelle's mom and Mike's wife. I am so thankful to God and to Mike for allowing us this opportunity! I love every second I am making this house a home and interacting with Anabelle. I know it will only get better!
