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.

    So cute! My girls are teenagers. However, I will still take the long way through the department store to walk past all of the cute baby girl clothes. Once you’ve had a baby girl to dress, you never quite recover from it!

    My word, she could not be any sweeter. And what a brother, too.–Clearly you’re raising him right, and his wife will appreciate his hair knowledge some day. Precious!

    What a sweet baby girl! We love the pics–keep them coming. Ok the underwear on the head is adorable, and just a taste of the the good natured embarassment she will recieve at the hands of her father and brother. What a blessing those two kids have with a mommy like you.

    Why do men put underware on the head?
    Daddys put it on their babies, Men put thier wives undies on their heads……what is up with that?
    :0) Must be a guy thang.

    But…. it did look like a little hat, some gals can wear anything and look good.
    She’s a cutie. Thanks for the picks.

    Oh! Awww! Oooo! I love that baby girl. She’s too precious.

    Keep those pics coming and the pink is ….. well it’s the only way to go!

    Please pray for a dear little 10 year old boy who was in very serious bike accident earlier this week.

    He had a plate put in his head Tuesday and is sitll in a drug induced coma and his momma had a new baby yesterday!

    An 11 year old girl was killed in a car accident on Wednesday as well.

    Pray for our children and hold them tight!

    LOL!! Sounds like Jackson’s Bibby has been talking about Big Hair! around him! That cracked me up!! 😀

    And loved every single one of those 10 pics, AJ! Glad to see the big pink bear isn’t scaring her to death anymore. 😉 Loved her grins and LOVED big brother’s undies as her hat…too cute!

    Big and High – love it! Your mom said at the minister’s wives weekend (wish you could have been there) how she has a special hair ministry for Melissa’s hair. I would love to see a blog post about that hair ministry. She said the key is in the product – which one? We siestas need to know! We like it big and high!!!

    How precious! Thank you for sharing your blessings with the rest of us. And just a note of warning – when little boys get to the age of 6 or so they do, in fact, like to put their underwear on their own head and run around the house. Not that I would know anything about that.

    How CUTE!!!!! It is only at this age that a pair of boys underpants on our head only enhances our degree of cuteness.

    Enjoy the smiles and I can’t wait for you to experience her first big belly laugh.

    Thanks for sharing your mom with us.

Thank you for the blessings of sharing HIS blessings together!

    Your children are beautiful and kids say the funniest things. I loved Motherhood at that age too it’s when they become 15, 12, 11, 7 that it can be taxing on your nerves.

    Amanda, Re: posting 10 pics of your baby girl – I have an even worse sickness. It’s called grandmotherhood! I just sat here doing the “Aaah! Ooooh!” over the sweet little thing. What a doll! Thanks for sharing.

    Ok, my family and I are just back from spring break and I’ve got to tell you, I’ve never seen any sweeter pictures! Oh, so adorable and my, how Annabeth has grown. My precious daughter who is now sweet 16 used to wear (or may I say that I put in her hair to wear) those beautiful big bows. So precious … I can tell you are cherishing every “bow” and “pink” moment. Just realize, there may be a “purple” stage where everything she likes is purple. Sweet stuff it is!! Love form Atlanta!

    Hi Amanda:
    I’ve been reading the lproof blog for about 6 months now and have really enjoyed getting to know you, your sister and your mom through your posts. I gave birth to a little girl in January and have two boys at home ages 3 1/2 and 22mo.s. I’ve been admiring the BIG and very pretty bows you’ve been dressing your little girl in…where did you find these? I’ve been all over and can’t find anything like them. With Easter approaching I’d love to have something similar for my daughter Morgan Anne.
    Thank you.

    How sweet is that! I have a beautiful daughter that God named Selah (7 mos.)…. I was so happy to see your little pink teddy bear. We have one too. It’s fun to take pics of them growing with those (the dogs too). Our little church in rural Utah, yes Utah, just finished the Daniel study last night. It was amazing. Thanks for the powerful finish….we love you Beth! Beautiful baby!
