Here's an article about new findings regarding children with ADHD. Scientists have found that these children's brain development is not really abnormal, it is just delayed when compared to other kids. Check it out.

A few more...
Tying Annie's booties. These are the things you do with a daughter, as well as wrestle her into little tights when she wears a dress. At least we're a few years out from having to do her hair.
Mom feeds Annie while Dad "feeds" Mikey.
The Most Beautiful Baby Ever!
Here are some pictures from Saturday. Thanks, Ginger and Stephanie! It is quite handy to have professional baby photographers as your friends.

One month old!
Annie is one month old today--where did that time go? She is currently sleeping in her car seat after a trip to the grocery store, so I can give you a quick update on what she likes/dislikes and how she spends her time.
Annie likes: clean diapers, eating, show tunes (especially from Annie), sleeping in Mom and Dad's bed, kicking her legs, listening to Opa, and books. Her most recent read? The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck by Beatrix Potter. An excellent tome for increasing vocabulary! What other children's book has words like "alighted" in it? She listened more intently to this long, adult-sounding book than she did for Opposites by Sandra Boynton. Just another sign that she is a genius.
Annie dislikes: dirty diapers, her crib, the bassinet, being gassy, loose blankets, and being forced to suck her pacifier. She'll let you know if she's unhappy!
Annie's day consists of eating, reading books, singing songs, new diapers, playing with Dad, being licked by the dog, listening to the dog get yelled at, and sleeping all nuzzled up on Mom or Dad. She may also engage in visiting Oma, going to the store, going to church to be oohed and aahed over, taking a bath, or sitting in the baby swing.
In the last month we have experienced a lot of new things. The nurses who taught our pre-natal classes said "Parenting is all on-the-job training" and they are exactly right. Hopefully soon we can move out of "survival" mode, where we do what we need to do to get through the next hour and into a more scheduled kind of day. And if that never happens, daycare will force us all into a schedule in a couple weeks!
Pictures will be here as soon as we get the proper cord from Aunt Erin. In the meantime, Oma's chronicle of Annie's life continues on Photobucket (link coming soon for those who don't have it).
Exciting Events this Week
Today: first snow flurries!
Saturday: visit from Ginger and Stephanie, and dinner with Daddy's football coaching friends
