our favorite sister girl is five months.

Our sweetest sister is already FIVE MONTHS OLD today. She loves to chew on her little fists,(which makes her head look infinitely bigger, ha) she chatters away to everyone who will listen, she adores her enthusiastic brothers, she only giggles for her Papa and she loves to snuggle with fuzzy blankets.  She is a complete delight.  We love you baby Annalise.

expressions galore: 2 minutes with a newborn.

I forgot just how expressive a newborn could be, it's absolutely adorable. Aaaaah, did I mention how much I am loving this stage this time around? And I can't believe that already she seems so tiny in these pictures.

A month in the life: baby Annalise (picture style)

We really can't believe how quickly sister's first month flew by. We are so glad she joined our family just in time to celebrate the holiday season with us, we already can't imagine life without her. 

one month: 8 lbs 14 oz, 20 1/2 m long, 38 1/2 cm head
