Anna's 6 Month Pictures

Just got back from Sears with Anna for her pictures.  Here are a few of them:

The County Fair

We went to the County Fair for kids' day today and had a great time.  They loved the rides and the animals, and the free candy and balloons (even if they were from the Democrats' booth).  Here are some pictures of our fun times:

The kids were clucking like chickens

The Circus and Other Things

On Labor Day, we took the kids to one of those tent circuses (circii?) and they had a lot of fun!  I hadn't been to one since I was a kid, so I thought it was pretty fun too.  

We were very close to the end of the tent with the animals

And of course, a few days ago Anna turned 5 months old!  Here are some pictures of her from Sept. 6:

And lastly, I finally dug the jumper/activity center thing out of the attic and spent all this morning cleaning it up (boy, was it nasty!) and Anna tried it out this afternoon!  We think she likes it.

Some Old, Some New

Here is a video from a few weeks ago when I took Caleb and Esther out playing in a rainstorm.  I forgot I hadn't shared it yet.  They had a blast!

And here's one of Anna rolling over.  She did this a week ago, but I didn't catch it on video until today.  After she does it, you can hear Esther say "She did it!!!" and then she runs over and tackles me and tells Anna "You did it!"  Kinda cute. :)

Anna is 4 months!

Our beautiful little baby girl is 4 months old today!  Here are some cute pictures of her and her siblings:

Glen Burnie Carnival

We took the kids to the Glen Burnie Carnival tonight.  They had a good time!  Here are a few pictures:

And a few videos:

She Laughs!

I've heard a little tiny giggle every now and then from Anna, but today I tried "dropping" her to see if she liked it, and she started cracking up!  Of course, when I grabbed a camera, she didn't do it as wholeheartedly, but still, you get a taste of it.  There's a pretty good laugh in each one of these:

Anna is 3 Months!

Hard to believe it, but my little baby girl is 3 months old already!  

Cuteness

Here are two cute pictures I took yesterday.  You should see the 20 more I took of the three of them that were no good!  This is the best I could get, and that is why I regularly take them to Sears. :)

A Little Comparison

I took Anna to the doctor yesterday for her 2 month check-up.  She was 12 lbs 2 oz and 24.25 inches.  This makes her 90th percentile for weight and above the 100th percentile for height.  

And here's a little comparison with Caleb, since he and Anna seem to be my off-the-charts big children.

At 1 month:

Caleb - 11 lbs 6 oz, 23 inches

Anna - 10 lbs 13 oz, 22.75 inches

At 2 months:

Caleb - 13 lbs 15 oz, 23.75 inches

Anna - 12 lbs 2 oz, 24.25 inches

So he was a bit chunkier, but she is TALL!

And here are some pictures of the kids:

She Rolls!

Sorry I'm late getting this posted.  Anna rolled over last Saturday, the 21st.  She was 6.5 weeks old.  And it wasn't just a fluke because she has done it several times since then!  The first time she did it I missed it, so I put her back onto her tummy and ran to get the camera.  By the time I got back, she was already partway over, so I only caught this:

Caleb helps with yardwork

Esther Sings Jesus Loves Me

Just make sure to watch all the way to the end.

(In case you can't tell, at the end she says "I'm all done!")

Visitors and Easter

My parents and my brother and sister-in-law were here for the weekend before Easter, then Jonathan's parents were here for Easter weekend.  Here are some pictures:
