13/365

Annie weighed in at 15 lbs 13 oz (she is up 2 lbs since she has been with us). I really thought that she was going to break 16 lbs. Almost pumpkin. She is less than the 5th percentile, but I know she is always going to be pretty small. Unlike Lucy who is really tall and skinny, Annie is quite short. She did great at the doctor today and I got a lot of questions answered that I have had recently. Those darn teeth are still not here yet. Ugh. She had a really rough night last night, so I am hoping for much better tonight. I actually just got her out of bed at around 11:30 and just stopped fighting it and let her hang out with me until about 12:30. She is so happy and content to let me hold her and coo at me. But momma needs sleep!!!!

Lucy amazes us right now with her talking. She talks ALL of the time. We don't always know what she is talking about, but most of the time we do. Yesterday when we were driving home from school, out of no where she says, "Nana and Grandy in Vietnam." To which I said with some shock in my voice, "What are Nana and Grandy doing in Vietnam?" And she very matter of factly told me, "They are visiting Annie's house." And that was that. Her favorite thing to say is, "What happened, Momma?" She seriously asks this question a zillion times a day and expects a really good answer. The problem is, sometimes she asks this when honestly nothing at all has happened or is happening. I love to carry on full blown conversations with her.

Now, totally unrelated, WHO IS PUMPED THAT AMERICAN IDOL STARTED TONIGHT?? Obviously I am. I love the audition shows, but I do tend to get a little upset when they feature the kids that honestly do believe that they are good and blatantly make fun of them. It is just mean. Don't get me wrong, I tend to laugh at the singing, but then I get so sad for them when the judges take it too far. Anyway, I am so excited that the new season has started.

Here are my pics of the day. Kathy, thanks so much for the precious outfit on Annie. She got several compliments at the doctor today in it.














I am not kidding when I say that Justin ate spaghetti for every single meal in Vietnam on both of our trips. This past time he taught Lucy how to slurp her noodles, which is what she was doing tonight for her pictures.
