Visit to Utah

We spent the last weekend in Utah for my brother's wedding. Ethan loved the plane, but Annalisa had a rough time. Probably because I followed the worst advice ever...I tried to nurse her as we were taking off so that her ears would adjust with the swallowing. She wouldn't latch on and so her ears hurt and she was starving. She has never cried that hard in her life. On the flight back, I fed her right before and gave her some Tylenol. She did great! I think that's the way to go from now on... It was so great to see family and even get to go to a BYU game (even though they lost horribly:-( I don't have any pictures just yet, but I will post some soon.

Also, I read this short article that explains so well how I feel about big government...if any of you were feeling political today:-)

Six months and counting...

Can I just tell you how grateful I am for my little girl? I was told by a few people that girl babies are often harder than boys...Annalisa sure has proven that wrong. She is the best baby anyone could hope for. We got her pictures taken and I just love every single one. We also went to the doctor today and she had four shots, cried for 10 seconds and then soothed herself by sucking her tongue. She is 90th percentile for length, 50th for weight, and 25th for head size (what a difference from her brother!) Favorite things to do: chew on everything, rub her tongue on her bottom tooth, squeal a lot, watch Ethan run around, and smile at Daddy.

Not sure of this pose

Big grin before toppling over

I love her crazy hair

Not very happy, but you get a good view of her tooth

I love this one and the photographer was just taking random pictures while I was trying to calm her down.
