5 Months

Annabel Month 5_edited-25 months! Wow has it flown by! I do not remember it going by this fast with Ethan.

Her toes are still her favorite toy.

She sits up like a pro!

Those big brown eyes just make my heart melt.

She is officially teething so she is constantly sucking on her bottom lip, and Sophie has become her best friend.

This girl is constantly moving. Her snuggling phase is officially over. So sad. She is always bouncing around. Most days she spends jumping in her bouncer just laughing away.

She is sleeping a little better. Usually still wakes up once a night.

She still doesn’t roll, but she at least tires to now which is an improvement.

She loves to talk. This girl just squeals all day long.

She still loves to smile. This girl smiles all day when we are at home. She is still hesitant to give strangers smiles though.

She adores her brother. Her brother adores her right back. Ethan may get the biggest smiles out of her. In fact Ethan’s latest excuse for not wanting to go to bed is “I want to stay up and see baby sister smile!”

We just love our baby girl!

4 Months

4 months copy

Weight: 14 lbs 9 oz.- 57%

Height: 25 inches- 72%

Head: 15.5 inches- 21%

Annabel is still as adorable as ever. She is just so sweet and so fun. This girl loves to smile. I swear some days I get a headache from smiling too much. It’s great. She is still a mamas girl. I think I get the most smiles out of her.

She loves her bath or getting her diaper changed, really anytime she can be naked.

People always comment on how content she is. And that is true because she is usually getting lots of attention. She loves attention. She is not so content when left alone. It is a good thing that I have Ethan to shower her with affection when I need to get something done.

She is still a terrible night sleeper. She naps great, but wakes up multiple times at night. I am hoping by month 5 that I will have this under control.

She loves when you play with her hair,and give her a head message. It relaxes her and usually puts her to sleep.

I think she may be getting her first tooth soon. I see a little white starting to pop out of her bottom gum. Although Ethan didn’t get his first tooth until 7 months so we will see if I am correct on this.

She has no desire to roll over which surprises me because she loves to be on her tummy. Although it is probably for the best that she doesn’t roll since she will not sleep unless she is swaddled.

First Ponytail

IMG_0150

I gave Annabel her first ponytail. She wasn’t a fan. Needless to say, it didn’t last long.

3 Months

IMG_2468 3 Months_edited-1

We are still so in love with this little girl! She gets chunkier by the second and that hair gets longer everyday!

She is such a sweet easy going baby. She hardly cries unless she is tired or hungry. She is also a very social baby. She loves to be sitting up in her bumbo just looking around or if you are holding her she has to be facing outward so she can see what is going on.

Her newest nickname this month is bubbles. She is always blowing bubbles. She thinks it is so funny as she will giggle a little as she does it. She also loves to laugh at our ceiling fan.

She loves to play with toys. Some days I feel like all I am doing is moving her from her play mat to her saucer and then to her bouncy seat because all she wants to do is play. 

She is a mamma’s girl, which I love because Ethan always preferred Aaron from day one.

Unfortunately, I can’t say she is sleeping as well. She was doing great at only waking up once, but now it’s a minimum of two times a night that she wakes. Not my favorite.

We could spend endless hours kissing her chubby soft little cheeks! We love this little girl!

The Hair

This girl came out with a full head of black hair. It has lightened a little and is now a dark brown. None of her hair has fallen out, and it just keeps growing. My favorite hair time is post bath. After a good towel dry it turns into an awesome poof ball. I love it!

And speaking of bath time… this girl loves a good bath!

I can’t get enough of that smile!

Big Brother

Ethan really does love his little sister. Anytime she cries he runs to her saying “Ethan’s turn! Ethan’s turn!” meaning it is his turn to give her, her pacifier.

He also loves to give her hugs when she is crying and tell her “It’s okay, baby.”

If we ever give her a bottle, Ethan loves to help feed her. He has slowly learned that she doesn’t eat solid food yet. It used to be that when she was crying and I would say “It sounds like the baby is hungry,” he would then go get her cheez-its or fruit snacks. It was quite sweet.

Here is Ethan showing Annabel how to play.

She is getting some cheeks! Love it!

Cousins 23 1/2 Hours Apart

My sister and I were due just two weeks apart. I came a week late and Whitney came a week early. These two cousins were born exactly 23 1/2 hours apart. These two could not look more different. Ellie has red hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Annabel has dark almost black hair, olive skin, and dark brown eyes. You would never know these two girls were related. I can’t wait for these two to grow up together.

2 Months

IMG_2229 copy

Weight: 9 lbs 3 oz: 7%

Height: 23 1/2 inches: 85%

Head: 14 1/2 inches: 14%

Annabel has calmed down. She is not at all the needy baby she was during her first month. She still loves to be held, but she is still content if she isn’t. She is just happy all the time. And boy, does this girl love to smile. She also loves to coo and talk all day. This girl is an incredible sleeper. Most nights she sleeps from 10-5, eats, and then sleeps until Ethan wakes her around 8. Love this girl! She is also starting to get some cheeks. They are so fun to smooch. Life is good with our baby girl.

Nicknames: Princess, Baby Princess, Smiles, Sister, and Ethan’s personal favorite- Baby Sister

1 Month

IMG_2004 copy

8 lbs 11 oz: 25%

22 inches: 85%

I can’t remember her head measurement. I have misplaced the paper with all the details, but I remember it only being in the 7th percentile. That was a shocker to me since Ethan had quite the large noggin. But don’t worry that big Ethan sized head is on it’s way, because the doc said her skull bones are still overlapping. There is still room for that noggin to grow and I am sure it will.

Annabel is a lot needier than I remember Ethan being. Annabel begs to be held always. She always wants to be swaddled. She can’t stand if her diaper is wet. But she sleeps great so really I cannot complain.

I love staring into her big brown eyes. And that hair is not going anywhere and it just keeps getting longer everyday. I love it! And I love my baby girl!

Annabel Lesley Hunt

She’s finally here! She was a week past her due date and about 12 hours too late to share her birthday with her dad and grandpa. We are just glad that she finally decided to arrive.

Here are some photos from our stay at the hospital.
