My Little Pumpkin

Anna at the pumpkin patch across the street:

One Month

Anna had her first month check-up this past Wednesday. Her current stats: 9 lbs 15 oz (75th percentile in weight) and 22 3/4 in long (97th percentile length) - she is one growing girl! We're slowly getting into a routine with Anna nursing every 3 hours throughout the day and sleeping with 4-5 hour stretches through the night. She can be quite fussy throughout the day but walks/movement tend to calm her down. Her swing has become her best friend and of course she loves riding in her stroller! She continues to lift her head well and focus's on objects. We're just happy all went well with her appt and Dr. Bergstein stated she is a healthy and thriving baby:)

Anna loves bathtime

Look at my buda belly:)

Newborn Pictures

Here are the latest newborn pictures by Morgan Matters - I just LOVE them!!!

Three Weeks

What a week filled with family, friends, great visits, yummy dinners and shopping! Grandma & Grandpa Hone came to visit last week and meet Anna. We had a wonderful, long visit with them. We kept busy this week making a trip to Lafayette and visiting the local Zoo (which is AWESOME by the way!). Then we attended Pumpkinfest in Zionsville with the Borlik Family clan. Greg & I had our first night out last Friday to attend our good friend Molly's 30th Birthday bash while Gigi, Nonna and Papa kept Anna entertained for the evening. Anna is already three weeks old and GROWING - I think she is close to 9 1/2 lbs now. She changes so much everyday and we are having so much fun together - I just LOVE mommyhood:)

We've enjoyed all the visits from family and friends this past week. We feel very blessed by all the love and support everyone has given us during this special time.

On Friday, Anna & I hosted a playdate with Mommy friends Jackie, Molly, Megan, Becky & Abby and the babies Will, Cash, Carter, Max and Claire. Unfortunately I only took a couple of pics but there will be plenty of more times spent together with these friends.
