"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

2 months!



Miss Annie hit her two month mark while we were on vacation in California. I can't believe it's already been two months! The days have seemed long but the months have flown by!
*Annie is still a little fussy pants. Although she has improved a little which I am grateful for.
*She seems to be most grumpy and fussy in the evenings although she has plenty of moments during the day as well.
*She seems to have better days when she gets a good morning nap. No morning nap and I'm almost guaranteed a grumpy girl the rest of the day.
*She has longer, happy awake times.  She will smile and "talk" to us.  I love this. Her little "coo's" almost make her fussiness worth it!
*She would still nurse all day long if I would let her. I think I took a couple steps backwards going on vacation. I was available to her 24/7 and I think she got a little used to that. (oops.)
*She did way better than what I thought in California. The first night there was terrible but after that she really was no problem at all, other than her normal fussiness.
*She went on her first plane ride on July 8th.
*We've had her on medicine for reflux, it seems to be helping.
*I think her eyes will be blue. She still has quite a bit of hair but I'm pretty sure she'll lose it as time goes on.
*She has the loudest poops EVER!
*She is never soothed by the same thing twice. What works one day will probably not work the next day.
*She sleeps awesome at night. Once we get her to sleep she usually wakes up around 4:00 and then at 6:30 (she'll usually go back to sleep at 6:30 until the other kids wake up)
*I sure love this little gal.  She hasn't been the easiest but I know she's just frustrated. She has this huge, outgoing personality but is stuck in this tiny little baby body that can't do much.

Sweet girl! I can't believe how great she sleeps at night! That's heavenly! Time does fly- can't believe it's already been two month!

She is a doll, just wish she would let me hold her more. But hopefully next time we see her she will be over her fussiness. Love ya'll

poor little fussy pants & poor YOU! Hang in there, it will get better, hopefully! I can't believe how quickly time goes when babies are growing!
