OK, the screaming has subsided a bit. Annika has her first cold. Her runny nose and sinus congestion is making eating and sleeping not very pleasant. Fortunately, the Tylenol Cold for infants is helping.

Annika has a new car seat! Her Britax Marathon in the Colonial Blue pattern arrived via UPS on Wednesday. That was fast service considering I only ordered it online last Friday! And I got free shipping! I'm impressed. Now, I need to make an appointment to have it installed and inspected. Once that's done, it's good-bye to the infant carrier seat. This new car seat is one that stays in the vehicle. Annika will only be riding in the Blazer from now on.

Yesterday was Saint Patrick's Day (duh!). And since Annika and I are part Irish, Annike wore her St. Patty's Day pajamas (actually from Ireland, courtesy of Grandma Pat!) last night. Kris took pictures and I'll try to post those soon. Annika is just barely Irish (like 1/8th Irish). She's actually more German than anything but she is quite the mix. I'm 3/4 German, 3/16 Irish and 1/16 Dutch. Kris is 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Swedish with a little bit of English and Dutch(?) thrown in for good measure. Annika has most of Europe covered! :)

Annika could really care less to eat solids. She'd much prefer to just nurse or eat from a bottle. So far, she's tried green beans, peaches and sweet potatoes. Today, I brought out more green beans and some applesauce for her to try. So far, she hasn't been too impressed. She never really liked her cereal either. I hope she's not going to be a picky eater!

Edited because my math is bad. :)
