Too Big!!!


Annabelle is growing up so much! I can't believe that she will be 6 months old Thursday (Thanksgiving) and start real food. And then she will be closer to a year old than a newborn! What? That is crazy! This is a picture of her bottom teeth and just this week she cut her top two teeth!!! I thought she wasn't going to get teeth until like a year old and she has four before 6 months! What in the world??? Oh yea, at 4 months she weighed 17 pounds, 2.5 ounces and was 26 inches long. We go on Dec 2 for her 6 months appt and I can't wait to see what she weighs now. I am guessing in the 20s...she's a big girl! Also, Ben will be sworn in as a licensed attorney one week from tomorrow!!!! Woohoo!!!!! We've been looking at more houses and we are excited!!!
P.S. I cannot believe it is already Thanksgiving and then it will be Christmas and then a new year! Crazy how time flies!

Update!


The past few weeks have been good. Annabelle is 24 weeks old (I get emails from thebump.com to tell me) today. She is so funny these days! She found her feet and started grabbing them during priesthood session of genenral conference and now grabs her feet frequently. She rolled over from her back to her stomach on October 21. I put her down on her blanket so I could get ready and when I came back she was on her stomach. I thought to myself, "Wait, did I put her down on her stomach? NO! I put her down on her back!" So I flipped her over to her back again and went to grab my bag. Sure enough...there she was on her stomach! She didn't start rolling multiple times until about a week later. And now she is all over the place if we put her down. I'm going to have to get a cage to keep her in! She also broke her two bottom front teeth on October 27. She hasn't bitten me yet, but my Dad said it is inevitable. I'm not too worried about the bottom teeth (even though they are very sharp!) because her tongue is btwn her teeth and my boob. It's the top teeth I'm pretty worried about! I say this now until she bites me with her bottom teeth! Yikes! She is also soooo vocal! It's hilarious! Her main noise right now actually reminds me of "the most annoying sound in the world" from dumb and dumber. It's just a constant "Aahhhhh!" Thankfully, it's not annoying! I think it's adorable! She still has a pretty low, raspy voice. Janis Joplin has nothing on Annabelle! Right now she has a cold. She woke up last Wednesday with a stuffy nose and a cough. Her cough wasn't too bad, but then it got worse on Saturday and now she still has it. I hope it goes away! I HATE having a sick baby. I just can't handle it! I think I slept about an hour total last night. Even when she was sleeping peacefully, I couldn't sleep! It is miserable. So, if you know anyone who is thinking about having a child who also LOVES sleep...tell them it will be a huge sacrifice! Oh, I miss sleeping for hours and hours! Oh, well!!!!!
In other news...BEN PASSED THE BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This means he can actually start making a little bit of money and we can LOOK FOR A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! I am so ready to move. I am extremely grateful to my in-laws for letting us stay here, but I am so tired of living in boxes! And I want Annabelle to have a room and for us to have a real kitchen! Oh, the things to look forward to!
Also, I'm now 25. How did that happen? It's crazy!
Anyways, I should go change a diaper because it really stinks!!!
