7 Quick Takes (8)

 
--- 1 ---

Anna's trying to be like her mommy and overachieve... Yup, she hit 90th percentile for both height and weight!  At 21 lbs and 29 in., she's getting all A's!  We had her 9 month well check yesterday and her doctor was surprised when she saw Anna walking around the room.  And equally impressed when she asked if Anna has tried a sippy cup yet and I informed her that she in fact loves her sippy cup and has totally given up her bottle for a cup (Anna made it very clear this week that she does NOT want that silly bottle, but definitely wants her formula out of a cup)! 

Okay, maybe that sounds braggy, but I'm just a mama proud of her baby girl :-) And so very happy to have a baby girl to be proud of!

And to continue my proud mama moments, this morning Anna figured out how to stand up without the use of furniture or anything, just in the middle of the floor.  She's been trying for a while and finally figured it out this morning!

We meet with our caseworker this afternoon to start the process for Adoption #2!  I'm really excited!

Anna is like deathly afriad of people sneezing!  What is with that?  If we sneeze, she screams...  I don't know how to avoid it, it's kind of a weird fear to have!

I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful Catholic moms.  Who, feast days/solemnities like yesterday, always get together to celebrate.  We went to McD's yesterday and let the kiddos play.  Anna and Luke love keeping up with the big kids, they're fun to watch!  I love being surrounded by friends who have the same beliefs and values that we do!

My youngest sister turns 20 this weekend.  That makes me feel incredibly old.  I don't so much notice that I'm getting older, I feel the same on my birthdays as I did before, not older.  But when my younger siblings turn "old" ages?  That's a totally different story!  Happy Birthday Baby Sis aka Aunt Julie!

Well, #7 was going to be a few cute videos, but they don't want to load again, so I'll just say Happy Friday and I hope everyone has fantastic weekends!

Yay for Anna standing and doing big girl things. Its got to be bittersweet (and proud, too).
My youngest sister is 21 and my little bro is 16 (I'm 30) so I can identify with feeling OLD too!
