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.

    Big, high hair?!!?? Has he been listening to Grandma Beth, or what?!!?? LOL!!
    Annabeth is just precious! I don’t have any grandchildren (and won’t) so I am adopting her and Jackson (don’t tell Grandma)

    That so funny! The closest thing to a bow a real man can achieve is underwear! My husband would be proud.

    She is too precious! And the story made me laugh… my boyfriend’s niece (who has just turned 3), recently announced that she’d like “little hair” like her baby sister (who, like many babies is kind of hair-challenged). Her mama took her for a haircut yesterday…! I had no idea “big” and “small” were the official pre-stylist vocab terms! Ha ha!

    If you ever get over your “sickness”, THAT’S when we will call the doctor!

    And even though it’s undies, she looks gooood in green.

    Great Pictures! I could look at them all day!

    I can’t have kids, but when my great-niece was born, I took 100 pictures in just under an hour the first day I met her in the hospital!

    Congrats, the little one is absolutely adorable!

    Annabeth is such a doll baby! I am glad you found the little soft headbands that you can clip bows to! I discovered those for my Annabelle and was going to get you one and mail it since I hadnt seen Annabeth wearing one yet! GOT to have the hairbows!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Cute as a button! Thanks for the pics! And I must say, I’m so impressed that that big bow actually stays on her head! I could never get them to stay on my daughters’.

    And just for future reference… you should check out a couple kid’s books you will enjoy as much as Annabeth; “Pinkalicious” and “Fancy Nancy”. Some of my and my 3 daughters’ favs!

    I love the hat and all the pictures! I miss my girls at that age. My oldest is graduating from high school this June. Yikes! Time does go fast. I love that she started to Bible Study already. Just wave her little hand and say,”Praise Jesus” and we got us a bonafide Siesta Sweetie!
    Love to all your dear family!

    Amanda: Never quit posting pictures – I love them. She is very pretty – I love her already and she has an “inhairatance” that is great and she will learn how “big and high” the love of God is from her Bibby and her mommy and daddy.

    As the mother of boys – I cracked up at the one with the underwear on her head – that brought back memories…boys will be boys.

    Much love to you sweet young woman!

    Thank you Amanda! I told myself I wasn’t going to check the blog tonight because I have a ten page paper to write for school due next week. But I have had a day of tremendous loss, and I could not resist the temptation of a little siesta comfort, and oh! how comforting to see pictures of your beautiful girl. It occurs to me how blessed your babies are, having a couple thousand “aunties” in the siesta community loving on them from afar. Thank you for giving us that privilege.

    Ohhh, what a joy, your little PINKster!!! Amanda, I shared with your mom during the New England Nights that her newly bought ‘pinks’ (though black!) must be Holy Spirit-touched, as in Dutch the word for Pentecost is ‘Pinkster’! So – you couldn’t have chosen a more fitting color to deck babygirl out in! Mmmm…. Must be a family thing!….

    Love, the ‘Paperclip’ New England Nights Prayer Coordinator,

    P.S. – Our MA/NH/ME Team is still very much connected together, and have continued praying for God to harvest the work begun here in October… and it is happening, we keep hearing reports of God at work from the seeds planted then…

    Amanda, I’m due any day now (Lord please let it be soon!) with baby girl #2 and all I want to know is…WHERE did Annabeth get that ADORABLE headband!? I must know!

    Kmsmom86 says:

    Just wait until Annabeth is about 2 or 3, and puts the underwear on her own head and pulls her ponytails through the leg-holes! It happened at our house!

    Or there is the time my mom came to visit. She painted our daughter’s fingernails and powdered her face. Then she did the same thing to our son (age 3 then) because he requested it. My husband came unglued!! Grandma just laughed…

    Thanks for sharing the wonderful pics!
    I too love the days when mine take naps at the same time! I laughed out loud with the one with the undies on her lil head…looks like something my hubby would do!
    I love what Jackson said about Big, High hair…I saw a saying the other day and immediately thought of you ladies!
    “Big, High hair allows you to be closer to Jesus”… I want to be close to him everyday!

    Carla says:

    O Amanda, she’s so precious! I’ve been wondering if you were going to keep her in hiding for the first year. It was cute to hear that Jackson already knows what ‘big’ hair is, so funny! By the way, enjoy this being a new woman thing- they come sparatically, but those crazy days go by wasy to fast, so take them all in! Thanks for sharing your family with us. Carla Lee

    She is growing and that underwear cracked me up. I think she is looking like Jackson. You have beautiful children. I have two brothers….. I’ll give her some advice when she gets older. ๐Ÿ™‚ Always wanted a sister but I would not trade my brothers for anything! ๐Ÿ™‚
