My beautiful:

She is crazy about the roses that hang over her changing table. Every time i go to change her she looks for the flowers and acts so excited to see them. She will lay there for the longest time for kicking, talk and starring at those flowers!

I finally got a picture oh her sucking/chewing on her thumb. Forget the red eye, I don’t have a program on this laptop that really works good on that >_<

Isn’t she cute? Hehe…

Hey… i don’t like how fast my little baby is growing up! Everyday it seems she learns something new and grows! Just this morning i had to dress her in the next size bigger… :(

She is learning to roll over… she loves to grab! And now she is into sucking on her thumb. I try not to let her suck on it, like Daddy says, you can take the pacifier away but not the thumb. Every time i see her stick it in i pull it out and sometime i give her the pacifier if she won’t stop. It’s hard not to just let her suck on it cause it is so darn CUTE!

Also she is really getting good at grabbing toys and now she likes her pack’n’play a lot. She spends a lot more time in there playing with her toys, just talking and blowing bubbles.

Lately she has been waiting to spend 99% of her time sleeping. She sleeps almost all day and all night. She wants to wake up long enough to get her diaper changed and then get nursed back to sleep. I think she may be going through a growth spurt or something.

She will be 14wks old this coming Tuesday on the 21st. 3.5 months… isn’t it crazy?

She has is learning to scoot all over the place. I use to be able to put her (unbuckled) in her car seat, in the kitchen with me when I'm cooking. Now she scoots down dangerously, so i have to buckle her in (which she complains about terribly).

This is the first time i caught her doing it… and it was a good thing i happened to look over at her right then, because by the time i got to her she was about to scoot all the way out and onto the floor…. silly girl! (it about gave me a heart attack!!!) 

Oh she scoots in a circle too. When i put her in the pack’n’play she just goes in circles grabbing and kicking all of her little toys. It’s so funny to watch.

Today we are feeling tons better! This morning when Bob was gone to school Mom and Dad Risch stopped by to visit for a few minutes while they were in town.

Last night after we went out with one of Bob’s friends from the Air Force who was in town we didn’t get home till after midnight. Anabel had fallen asleep during the movie at about 10:15pm. She only barely woke up when we got home. I quickly fed her and she was asleep again. Well this little once decided she wanted so sleep for a loooong time. At about 11am i thought I should wake her up. I mean she had awoken in the night just enough to let me know that she wanted to eat but that was it. I figure she had basically been asleep for 12 hours because when i feed her at night she doesn’t really wake up.

Poor girl didn’t want me to wake her up. I tried to be nice about it but she started crying even with her eyes closed. She got so worked up and her eyes were still closed! I fed her and decided that if she was getting that worked up about it, i would just let her sleep, maybe she was still fighting off our sickness. Well when i went to lay her down she woke up and stayed up. That made me feel better.

Well earlier today i got out a toy she really had never played with before and she really seemed to like it.

And here is when she was watching me play on the computer:

Now she is asleep in my arms. She is to darling :D

Starting Monday night me and Bob started feeling sick. We ended up getting worse and worse and Bob ended up coming home early from work. Well our sickness lasted until the next night (Tuesday). Our little Anabel was amazing. Thank God she hasn’t seemed to have gotten sick from us.

I think Anabel is either going through a growth spurts because i hear babies go through a growth spurt around 3 months and she is close to that. Or she was just simply trying to fight off the sickness going around. Anyways she basically slept all of Monday and Tuesday. Which it was good for us because i don’t know how we would have had strength to take care of her. She is an angel! I thanked her so so much because it was a blessing. Even when she was awake she was just all smiles and calm… i don’t remember her crying once or really fussing at all. I thank God too.

Now we are better and she is back to normal for the most part, but she still once to sleep more then usual. I’m letting her sleep too, because she might need it.

Ok Monday night the night me and Bob started feeling bad… well this was before i felt bad. I had spent some time i found some music i really liked on Playlist.com. Then when i went into the kitchen to make Bob his supper, i turned on the music and started dancing around the kitchen as i cooked. I was crazy of course, just like my style.

I had set Anabel up in her car seat with her butterfly toy where she could see me if she wanted. Well this time she wasn’t interested in the butterfly. She was watching me the whole time, dancing goofy. It was sooo cute! The funny faces she was making was priceless. I can’t wait until she is old enough to dance with me. We are going to have so much fun!

Although when i went to take a picture of those faces she just kinda looked at me blankly:

She was cute!

Anyway i had found a new recipe online which i thought Bob would really like.

It was basically chicken cooked in garlic and oil, with bacon and cheese topping it, then baked. I served mashed potatoes with it.

Well when Bob walked in, he looked horrid and told me he couldn’t eat, that he felt to bad. My poor baby! So i ate it. I was bummed because i had made it just for him, but oh well. It was really good though.
