we are done (for now) with mommy's globe-trotting (and daddy's correspondingly hanging on by a thread) and we're back -- better than ever and with new news. well, actually, we're probably a shadow of our former selves. that was just hype. but the new news is, in fact, true.
while we've been away annie continues to grow and change in her own zen-like way.
this weekend we did a trial run to church for her baptism next week. she was a little scared at the first chords from the organ, but then relaxed and settled in. she stayed awake for the entire service, but did seem to be drifting off during the sermon. just like her daddy ...
jack spent the first half of the service in the nursery and came back to the sanctuary just in time for communion. he was very good, whispering and sitting still.
of course it will all be different on "game day" ... but at least we have a hope of decorum next week!
while the kids were all dressed up, we took a few pictures:
you'll see from the photos that annie is sitting up in her bumbo seat quite well and enjoys the vantage point that being upright affords. she is also working on sitting up by herself ... she can come to a seated position when pulling on someone's fingers or even unassisted when on a slight incline (as when her head is on a lap and her bottom is on the couch). in the case of the latter she soon tips over to the side, so we'll work on that!
she has also been working on rolling over, as seen in this video:
and, sunday afternoon at jen & rj's crab feast, she actually made it all the way over for the first time. of course her arm got stuck under her and she couldn't figure out how to roll back so she had a face full of blanket, but she's learning.
she's doing a great job sleeping -- both saturday and sunday nights had only one wakeup for a brief feeding, at 5 a.m. and 4 a.m., respectively. she goes down easily around 7:30 p.m. and is up to start the day around 8:30 a.m.
jack also had a great weekend -- being a fun and cooperative boy. saturday he enjoyed a trip to the barbershop for a haircut ahead of the baptism (see the above photos) and also liked a trip to the shoe store for some new summer shoes.
daddy is "enjoying" a day home with both kids while mommy is at work. not exactly a holiday, but at this point he's an old pro at the single dad thing.
so, that's the weekend update. we'll try not to be such blog strangers ...
