Big and High

While my kids are taking siestas, I wanted to give you some new pictures of Annabeth at six weeks old. I just figured out how to get them to sleep at the same time and I’m a new woman. Praise the Lord.

I took these first three earlier today since she was looking so cute in her first little Polo dress. It’s a little big on her still, but that’s okay because baby clothes only truly fit for a day. Daddy came home for lunch to watch a little March Madness and he was very taken with his littlest girl in her pink dress.

Sister was slightly more tolerant of Big Pink Bear this time.

She started smiling about a week ago. We get a few more each day.

These were after her Tuesday night Bible study debut.

This is what happens when daddies help fold the laundry. Little boy undies end up on someone’s pretty little head.

Yes, I did just post 10 pictures of my baby on this blog. Sorry. I have a sickness and it is called motherhood.

A few days ago Jackson was giving Annabeth some kisses on her head. I told him that right now her hair is short like his, but since she’s a girl, one day she’ll have long hair. He said, “Oh. Big! Big hair! High!” Apparently, he gets it.

    I love to see you unabashedly enjoying your babies. The time goes so fast.
    Just know you will always have the “sickness”. If I could get my boys to sit still long enough I would post 10 pictures of them.
    Thanks for sharing.

    she’s simply beautiful, amanda!

    and naps at the same time? YES. glory to His name. i’m not anywhere near motherhood, but it is a miracle when i can get the twins i nanny to sleep at the same time…they have always been on the same schedule (sleep in separate cribs, but same room) but are now at a point where thing 1 takes longer to fall asleep than thing 2 and keeps thing 2 from being able to sleep..but thing 2 needs more sleep than thing 1, so even when thing 1 falls asleep she inevitably wakes up first and yells at thing 2 until she wakes up as well.

    ahhhhhhh nannying…the best birth control in the world ๐Ÿ™‚

    Jackson spends too much time w/Bibby not to understand big hair! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I was just watching one of her video sessions, wondering why her hair looked so flat. It was the day she left her brush at home & had to use a fork. She was right about not being the 1st to do that. The Little Mermaid called it a dinglehopper & brushed her pretty red hair with it! ๐Ÿ™‚

    So precious it makes me want to cry….hormones perhaps?

    I want me some grandbabies too…but I want my daughter and her husband to become believers and followers of Our LORD first.
    A godly home is the most important thing you can give your babies!

    Thank you for sharing your babies with us! We are all one family in Christ Jesus…so the older Siesta’s have a beautiful granddaughter in the faith!

    Love you Precious One,
    Teri

    Amanda, how precious are these photos. Girl you post 25 pics is you so desire! They are only little once! She is precious and kudos for getting them to bed at the same time. I was never able to master that. Take some time for yourself while they are asleep…..it will do wonders for you!
    Now, if she gets the big hair, she will be a chip of the Mimi block since Mama Beth likes the big hair. Hey, you are in Texas……it’s cool!
    Blessings. Keep those sweet pics coming!

    She is just beautiful! I love all of the pink outfits.

    The hair thing made me laugh. This morning my very girly 23 month old looked at herself in the mirror and said, “I love my hair!” The poor child hardly has any hair. It tickled me so much.

    Jackson has been raised in a family of Texas Women, so he knows how important "big hair" is!! Just glad he understands that so young!

    Annabeth is looking more like the little Mister with each new picture. BTW, you can post all the pictures you want and we would love it! Your kiddos are absolutely adorable.

    Enjoy their naptimes–you can control the time for a little while, but then Jackson is going to be "too big" to take a nap!! (So he thinks!)

    Hope Curtis enjoyed the Aggies today at lunch-they sure looked good. Hopefully, the second round will go as well!
    Gig'em & God Bless!

    So,so precious! Thank you for sharing. I know of the sickness you speak of! My little one just turned two last week, and when I do get around to posting, there are quite often 10 or more pics on my blog as well. There are so many women on here who I know, are just in love with both your kiddos. Pictures are always welcome.

    She is an absolute living doll. Please post photos of Annabeth and Jackson as often as you would like. I love watching them grow.

    I know you are thankful for a few more winks now that they take naps at the same time.

    The is such a sweet time in the life of a family….having little ones and loving every minute of it.

    The Lord is so good.

    Love and Hugs,
    Mary

    Too cute! I loved having little baby girls- now they’re starting to get a little older, but they are so much fun! What a smile Annabeth has!

    Now, please, you have to tell us about how and when your water broke! After that huge post where we all shared our stories, I’m still dying to hear yours- I hope it was uneventful.

    Take care and thanks for sharing your cute photos!
