3 Months Old!!

It's funny how you want that first few weeks of infancy to go quickly(well...I did)....and then before you know it....it's gone. Annalise has turned that 3 month corner....she's got great control of her head, she'll smile and laugh for you, she drools like she's maybe even beginning to get a tooth, etc. Along with all of that comes the different faces.

Here is Annalise at her most happy time.

She is a very happy and easy going baby most of the time....











Until she gets HUNGRY......then she'll frantically eat her hand. The entire thing! She hasn't really liked the idea of a pacifier (unlike her sister)....it's too bad actually....I think it might taste better than the fist!


It's beginning to sink in for me that I have to go back to work in a week and a half. I thought it might be easier with Annalise. And perhaps it will be....maybe I won't cry off and on all day thinking of her at daycare. BUT....I get most anxious about the whole thing when we try to give her a bottle. She is NOT a fan. In fact....she's yet to take one. We're on nipple/bottle brand number 6. Anyone out there with magic tricks.....I'd love to hear them. We're sort of at a loss. Hopefully Ryan and Teresa (her daycare providers) have the magic touch. Sigh. Anyway...this is a mild version of what Annalise looks like when we get the bottle out.

We've still got some time (ha)....and we're hopeful that she'll be drinking out of a bottle in a week. If not....we hear that babies will eat from just about anything when they're hungry enough. Yikes. Be sending us (and Annalise) good thoughts! :)
