12 Weeks!

Danae is 12 weeks old this week! She is grabbing onto things more every day! (she really isn't holding her bottle on her own, but Michael got her to hold it for about a minute). I went back to work this week...and cried. Our neighbor Judy is our Nanny Judy. I hope she enjoys it, we appreciate her wanting to work for us as our daycare nanny. It is difficult being a working mommy, and I am only two days into it (but all of you already know that don't ya). The kids at the high school have been great, some excited that I am back, giving me big hugs and many of them saying hi and asking how Danae is (some even begging that I bring her to the school) Anyhow, here are pictures from the past week.

Daddy's Girl

She is growing everyday and I swear she gets cuter all the time! She flirts with her Daddy and is smiling so much. She got her shots today and was such a tough girl. She cried for a minute and was done...hopefully, she won't start feeling sick. Enjoy the pictures.

A shower...and kitty...for Danae

On Wednesday the staff at the high school threw me a baby shower. Of course Danae was more popular than the cake. These pictures crack me up, but you may need to understand the oddness of some of the teachers to fully appreciate the pictures...you would have to have some oddness and humor to survive teaching high school students!



I just think this outfit is so adorable...complete with tiny little sneakers...that are still too big!

Jade has always shown concern for Danae since we brought her home, this is why the cats aren't allowed to sleep in the bedroom with Danae. Jade will usually start pestering me if I am not right by Danae's side when she is crying. She has even jumped in the middle of a diaper change when Danae was crying loudly...just to see if she was ok. The other night, for the first time, Jade curled up at Danae's feet and slept with her during her nap. I think Danae has involuntarily acquired a kitty...that is until Danae starts pulling hair and chasing her.

Randomness

On Sunday, Anna, Mom, Jodi, Alex and I went shopping for Anna's wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. All I will say is Anna picked a beautiful and flattering dress...of course I have pictures of her in all the dresses she tried on...but I just can't ruin the presentation for her. The bridesmaids dresses are also beautiful and flatter a not so perfect figure. Speaking of not-so-perfect figures...I have hit a milestone and have reached my prepregnancy weight...just 25 more pounds to go!


Anna and Jodi were running behind so I took my Mom into a makeup store and had her go outside of her box and try a new color...I think she looked beautiful with it on!

The deck is coming along, just need to finnish trimming the roof, paint it...then it is just the railing that will be left! Michael has done a great job!


Miller is getting a little spoiling, his leg seems to be causing him a little more pain despite the medication, but in Miller fashion...he is happy and just in heaven when he gets to sleep on the bed!

A Beautiful Smile!

Danae turns 9 weeks old tomorrow! She has been smiling more each day, and it just melts our hearts! Catching it on camera is a little difficult. here are some pictures I like... of course including another "napping with daddy" picture.
