Some man's junk is another man's treasure

That's correct...Annison took part in LB's longest garage sale. We stocked the streets in Ocean Park for open sales Thursday and finished up on Sunday looking for the best treasure. We must have hit at least 100 sales over the holiday weekend. Annison was a trooper! She snoozed in between sales and enjoyed the junk when she way awake. The weather held out and the guys even got in some surf fishing. We ate lots of sea food and enjoyed the time away.
While on this trip Annison rolled over, twice. Not sure she really knows what she was doing but it was exciting to see her do it.

Mr T likes the couch too

The biggest treasure of the weekend
 This clothes washer was purchased in 1933. Still works too! The best part about it is it has an attachment for a meat grinder. LOL

A rainy Wednesday

I got so lucky today to get some of these shots of Annison. It was so much fun!

Raining and cold outside, I thought it was a good time for some new photos. I fed Annison and rocked her into baby dream land. The timing was perfect..........

Awake!

Back to sleep!

Sleeping Beauty

Over the past couple of days I have taken some snooze photos of our little sleeping beauty. Here are just a few of my favorites!

Ready for summer

Say cheese!!!

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.......

Annison spent 3/4 of the day outside on the patio Friday. We did a little tummy time on the chair cushion and took a long nap on a special homemade blanket (thx Paula) too while mommy stained the deck. It was a very warm and beautiful day. When Steve got home we took a huge dinner risk and went big with baby in tow....The lodge....and she did great!


 Here is a peak.....

Ahhhh

Happy 2 months Annison

Lots to report this week. Annison turned 2 months on Wednesday 5/11. We had a dr appt and all checked out well. Gained 2 lbs from birth and 1 1/4 inches in length. They unfortunately gave her 3 shots in the legs. Poor little thing screamed harder then I ever have heard. Mommy cried as well :( Hard to see your baby in pain. Thankfully Steve went with me. It was a tough day for all of us. Next appt is in 2 months for more shots, I suppose.

Annison is continuing to sleep well, 8-10 hours. Amazes me every morning when I wake and look at the clock. She eats 2-4 oz every 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours. Still wearing newborn diapers and shirts, but moving into 3 month pants due to her long little bird legs. She is grabbing for things in front of her, likes to go for rides in the car and smiles often. Loves bath and snuggle time with Steve and I at night.

I recently started putting Annison in her crib for morning naps. Haven't been very successful on getting her to sleep, but I was today! First time she soothed herself and slept without being swaddled. Out like a light for a whole hour. :) I snapped a few pictures for the baby book.....

After her shots. She was so tired

Mother's Day

What a special day! Spent the morning in bed with my little lady bug while Steve made me breakfast. We lounged around until 10 am,  got dressed and headed to Multnomah Falls. For all of you who don't know, Mulntnoah Falls is where Steve and I first started talking as well as the very romantic proposal 2 1/2 years later. It was a nice treat to have a cup of tea and enjoy my two loves in the most special place. We hit the Troutdale outlets after and got Annison some new PJ's & dinner with Judie and my dad that evening. It was a perfect first Mother's day :)

Here fishy fishy fishy....

Spring is here and so is wedding season!

I can't believe this Friday Annison will be 8 weeks old. We are coming up on her 2 month Dr appointment too. Can't wait to see how much exactly she weighs and her length. She is so long! Still currently in newborn diapers as well as clothes. Her pants fit perfect in her waste but she is bringing back the high waters in the length. Just in time for spring :)
baby acne is just about gone but the cradle cap is still lingering. She is very strong, holding her head up and squeezing our fingers. She is also a busy body! Moves her arms and legs constantly. Making feeding a challenge. Annison is eating better then ever and sleeping (I would consider) through the night. She is swaddled, fed, changed and fast asleep between 9 and 10 and sleeps till between 4:30 and 5:30.
We are so lucky with wedding season here.
Steve and I also accomplished the first wedding of the season with our new addition. It was a bit of a struggle the week leading up. We did however get really creative using the car, car seat and the stroller. I think the front pack will be a must next wedding!
Annison was a trooper with the long nights in the tent. 12 more to go!

New fav place to rest her eyes

Lots of smiles these days
