Watch her grow.

I love that I have this blog for Annaliese. Now anyone can watch her grow over the days, months, years.. how ever long I continue writing. I know I haven't posted in a while but I will be posting at least once a week.
Here's whats happened since we got home:
1. A has a rash on her face that the doctor explained as dry skin and said all we have to do is wash her face with soap and give her a bath everyday. Well that hasn't changed her rash. It's still as red and bumpy as ever. I don't know if I should worry or put it off as just baby acne and be confident that she will grow out of it eventually.
2. A is going through a growth spurt and she's been eating every hour. It's exhausting, both physically and mentally. I feel like she cries all the time because she's hungry all the time and my supply of breast milk can't keep up right now.
3. My sister Gabriella has lice, not very bad but still in need of a delousing. So rather than going to school [which she obviously couldn't go to], she stayed home with me. I spent all day trying to ge the special shampoo in her hair because Annaliese has been eating so much lately.
4. Erich is at his AIT station now so he can call more often. It's nice because he talks to Annaliese at least once everytime he calls. She sometimes smiles when he talks to her, other times she gnaws on her hand in a completely oblivious manner. It's cute.

Oops.

I seem to have forgotten to post the pictures that went with that last post. My bad.

First Family Photo.

This last week we all went to Tennessee and Kentucky. It was all very eventful, Erich graduated, got to meet Annaliese for the first time, and we got married. It was pointed out to me while i was with my family that Annaliese is now the only child in our family who's parents are married. I plan on it staying that way. =]

Annaliese's first sucker.

Just out of curiosity, my mother gave Annaliese a taste of a Smarties sucker. I think she liked it... ;]

LMAO.

oh my gosh, i can't stop laughing.

St. Patrick's Day.

We wore our green today, did you? Annaliese had on a green onesie with "Daddy's Princess" printed on the front. It was adorable and it kind of made her hair look strawberry blonde. Cute.

Happy one month Annaliese!

I can not believe she's already a month old! Time is literally flying by. Even better, in one week from Thursday, Annaliese gets to finally see Erich for the first time. He graduates March 25th. This will also be the same day Erich and i get married. We'll finally be a family. After that Annaliese and I will just have to wait 6 months until Erich graduates his AIT and we can move with him wherever he gets sent next [unless he goes overseas which would suck].

Annaliese has been fussy today so i've been carrying her around in the sling wrap, it seems to be the only thing to calm her down. Poor baby.
