Updated pictures

This is been a busy week, so I have been remiss in taking pictures. I snapped a few this evening and thought I would share them. Annabeth has been smiling lots for anyone who will look at her and is getting very alert.

I can't believe she is actually 6 weeks old!!

Playtime with "baby sister". Savannah can't say Annabeth yet, so she has named her "baby sister". It is really sweet.

First Children's Museum Outing

It is crazy hot in Houston already. So, we took a fun outing to the Children's Museum today. It was Annabeth's first time there and she was so relaxed, she fell asleep in the tot spot.

After the museum Savannah helped me make cookies for Daddy. She was a big fan of the clean up portion of the process since it meant having a little cookie dough.

Don't my pigtails look fabulous??

Clearly Savannah has enough hair that I could have put her hair up a long time ago. However, she was not interested in sitting still. Now, she will sit still for some one-on-one time with Mama since my time is divided. I think she looks adorable and very grown up.

Making faces at each other, so fun!

Sisterly Love

Savannah has decided she really does like her baby sister. Here are some cute pictures of them together and a cute one of Annabeth smiling.

Elephant Art?

As Mother's Day approached and Sean thought about what would be an appropriate gift, he thought "If Savannah were to choose the gift, what would she choose?" Knowing my love of elephants (I tend to enjoy the zoo as much as the girls), he called the zoo and ordered a painting for me. The elephants at the Houston Zoo do artwork as an enrichment exercise. The zoo then sells the art as a fundraiser. So, this picture was painted by Shanti. She is an Asian elephant and is known for loving to create art. I was so excited. Now, I just need to get a frame...

I couldn't post without adding a few pictures of our girls. Annabeth is starting to lose the newborn look a bit. I just love those cheeks!
Savannah helping me with Annabeth. She knows that when "baby sister", as she is called, cries we often give her a pacifier. So, here she is trying to help. It really is sweet.

Happy Mother's Day

We spent Saturday afternoon visiting Sean's grandma at her nursing home. This was the first time she met Annabeth. So, we made sure that pictures were taken of Grandma Helen holding Annabeth.

Annabeth, Grandma Helen and big sister Savannah

Savannah taking a break to listen to the music. She loves music!

Annabeth's Checkup

We had Annabeth's two week checkup today. She is doing great!! She is now 21 inches long and 9 lbs 1 oz. She has gained enough weight to make all of us happy. She is staying awake more and more. She is so sweet. We are truly enjoying her.
