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.

    Love the pictures! Too Cute! When I saw the underware on the head of that beautiful baby I was reminded of my own wonderful grandmother! She use to wrap her big hair in toilet paper & then put silk panties on her head to bed. Oh, what we won't do for big hair! Thanks for the pictures – keep them comming!

    Hello family,

    Just wanted to say that I love reading your posts and viewing baby pics…she is absolutely beautiful.

    Plus Beth Moore gives me hope when I watch her on Life Outreach. I want a relationship with God and I desire to have what you all have….God.

    God Bless

    Amanda,
    Annabeth is one pretty baby girl! Her smile gives her so much personality! She is precious. Is it just me or does she look a bit like her namesake??? ๐Ÿ™‚

    I had a quick quick question…..Tonight we were having Bible Study – and Beth was talking about Kendall and her lukemia……How is she doing – we were in Boone, NC when Beth was talking about it and then tonight she mentioned her again. Also I have a little girl with DS so truthfully Kendall’s story was close to my heart as well. Jenifer

    Annabeth is so stylish with that big big bow until she gets big big hair.

    Just wanted to let you Siestas know about our Purim Celebration we had on the March 10 – yes, Purim actually fell on the day of our Esther Study. Each of the 6 small groups decorated their own tables and each group brought food which we put all together. The leaders provided goodies for each member and we all brought 2 portions for the poor (canned goods for CCA). We had noisemakers which we used as we read the whole “Megillah” and even cast lots to determine the winner of a game. It was such a fun way to celebrate and praise GOD.

    Two more weeks of Esther – it has been a truly great study.

    Amanda, your Annabeth is just beautiful! Beth I know people tell you all the time that they feel like they know you, so here it is again. I feel like I know you! We are currently doing Esther at our church and I am loving it. Thank you for using your gifts for the Lord! I also wanted to let you know that Annabeth was born on my Grandmother’s 91st birthday along with my nephew. My Grandma went home to be with the Lord 4 days later. What a blessing to know of two beautiful babies born during a sad week. Enjoy that baby, they grow so fast! God Bless You and Your Hair!!! LOL

    My favorite underwear story from my two boys (hubby and son) – they were folding laundry together one night in our bedroom, and when I came in, my son (probably 7 at the time) turned on the fan – they had hung my underwear from the ceiling fan, and it went flying all over the room. Hysterical laughter errupted – it still makes me laugh 9 years later just thinking about it. Enjoy these special times – they are a blessing!
