Pictures! I've added 10 new pictures to the Annika May photo album. I've also added a Baptism album and added 10 pictures to that. Enjoy! (Click the bunny to see them.)

Today was Annika's Baptism. It was such a nice service and day. She made a little fuss while being baptized but nothing too bad. She was calm as could be while having the water poured on her head. And she loved being held up by Pastor David and being introduced to the crowd. What a good little baby. We then had a reception for our family at the church. It was basically a big old game of "Pass The Baby." Annika is loved by so many people.

Annika has really blossomed lately. She's so alert when she's awake. And she coos and gurgles and talks to us all the time. And I can make her smile! Yeah, she still smiles when she poops (which is still like 8 times a day!) but I can make her smile just by talking to her too! Whoa - is that ever cool! Of course then I just want to smother her with hugs and kisses. She still sleeps really well at night, sticking with the 10:30 to 8:30 schedule. Yeah Baby!

She has also found her hands. She first put her thumb in her mouth at 3 weeks old. Now, she can get her hands to her mouth and get a finger or thumb in her mouth pretty much whenever she wants. She seems to get her left hand up there more than her right. We'll see if that means anything in the future.

I can't remember if there was more I wanted to write about or not. So, I'll stop here and come back if I think of anything else.
