Happy 7 month birthday Annika!

Wow, 7 months already.

My friend, Jen (who commented a couple posts ago), had a baby today! Welcome to the world Ava! You're friend Annika would like to meet you!

Annika was up again last night for a couple hours, waking at 12:30am. I think she might be teething. If she wakes again tonight, I'll give her a shot of baby Tylenol. My poor baby.

Kris is so wonderful. Not only is he a super involved dad, but he also helps me during the night when Annika does her waking thing. I try for a while to calm her and put her back to sleep. When it's not working for me, he comes to my rescue, takes Annika and tries himself for a while, kissing me goodnight and telling me to go to sleep. Then he cradles Annika while rocking her, shushing her and talking to her in hushed tones while calling her sweetheart. It's enough to melt me into a puddle, is what it is. Poor guy is so tired though. He does get home late from work after all and then has to get up in the morning when Annika does (usually around 6:30am). This morning, he took a 2 hour nap with her. I am one lucky girl. That, or I just know how to pick 'em. :)

I'll take a picture of Annika tonight for her 7 month photo and then I'll try to get a bunch of them uploaded.
