Ann Marie's First Shots

We went to the pediatrician today for Ann Marie's first shots and had quite a day! The Doctor had to go home right before we got there with the stomach virus, so we had to wait about three hours to finally get shots. Ann Marie was a little trooper right up until they stuck her with all the needles. She got this funny look on her face and then she screamed bloody murder!!! I teared up when she started screaming! It hurt me to see her get stuck so many times! She only cried for a few minutes and then she fell asleep before we left the clinic! All in all, not bad for the first set of shots. Too bad there are more to come!

Christmas Continues....

My Great - Aunt Dixie came over to my cousin's house to see Connor's new four wheeler and he ask her if she wanted a ride and she said sure!! She is a hoot!!

Christmas Fun!

We celebrated Christmas with Dino's family Monday night and my family on Tuesday! Ann Marie was the center of attention at both!=) She is growing so fast! She smiles and laughs when you talk to her and she looks around at everything! She loves the Christmas tree! ( We may have a Valentine's,Mardi Gra,Easter,etc. tree if it will keep her happy!) It is a joy to celebrate another year with all my Grandparents. I know I am so lucky to have them!! We took a four generation pic with Ann Marie,me,my Mom ,and my Grandma!

There is nothing like December in the Delta!It was 75 degrees outside and 30 degrees a few hours later!

Mad Gab

We went over to Drew and Maury's house Friday night to eat dinner and we played Mad Gab! It's a really fun game! Maury made Ann Marie a little blanket pile on the floor and she giggled and cooed all night!!

Brandi and I did a Christmas photo shoot with the girls this week! Here are a few of the pics! We did actually get a few that were good!While we were taking pictures Ella Grace would pat Ann Marie's head when she started crying and tell her," Ann Ree, it's ok". She loves her little cousin!! She just looks at her and says, awwww, baby, and grins!!

Carter,Isabelle,and Ann Marie hanging out!

She Sleeps......

I could not resist this picture....She looks like she is meditating! Maybe she is meditating about her Mommy and Daddy getting some SLEEP tonight!Ha, no chance of that! Mission Accomplished: The Christmas tree is up! It is nothing to write home about, but by golly we have a tree!=)
P.S. Please excuse the big scratch on her face! Her fingernails grow super fast and she will not tolerate her hands being covered up! Not to mention how hard it is to cut an infant's fingernails and her not scream about it!=)

Only a Month ago....

I can't believe only a month ago today, Ann Marie had just arrived in the world!! It has been a roller coaster ride being new parents, but I would not trade our little blessing from God for anything in this world!! She had a good time celebrating her first Thanksgiving!!

Our other baby

Poor Drake is not sure what to think of this new little critter who is ruling the house these days!! Since I took this picture the other day, he decided to rip his bed to shreds!! I think he is having some jealousy issues! We are trying to give him as much attention as we can!

Life is Good!

Ann Marie is doing great! She weighs 8 lbs.12oz.now!! She is such a sweet baby! She is already trying to hold her head up a little and she recognizes Mommy and Daddy's voices already! She loves to swing! She loves her lamb that makes sounds also!! ( Mommy and Daddy really love it!)
Thanks to Aunt Lori for coming to stay with us last week!=)
Also, Thanks to everyone who has come to visit with us and all the wonderful food and gifts we have received! We are so blessed to have such great family and friends!
