Mom got a day off today due to weird weather in the area. We started the morning with a 2-hour delay because of heavy fog. But by 8:30 or so school had been called off for the entire day. No one is quite sure why--the fog has cleared up and it is over 32 degrees, so nothing is freezing. We'll just savor the day at home!
Annie and I ventured out to Menards this morning. It is becoming our favorite place. There's so much to look at and dream about. Sam and I are planning a small kitchen project, so we girls went to price materials. Annie doesn't care too much about flooring and paint samples, so she fell asleep in the cart.
We were supposed to start "baby school" tonight, but class was canceled due to weather. Our gift to Annie for Christmas was to sign up for a family education class. It is just one night a week of meeting and playing with other parents and their kids. Hopefully we will get to know some other moms and dads and Annie can make some friends!
In Annie development news, she has had her first laughs this week. She chuckled at Mom tickling her ribs and blowing on her tummy. Why do babies find it funny when you try to "eat" them? Make weird munchy sounds on their hands or belly and they go nuts! Anne also enjoys "toes to your nose!" and getting her cheeks squished by the soles of her feet.
She weighed 11 lbs, 2 oz at the doctor's office last Wednesday, and we measured her at 24 1/2 inches at home on Sunday. Apparently her modest weight gain can be attributed to inches in length, not inches around her waist. She's still wearing size 1 diapers, and the tabs touch in front when you fasten them. She wears a lot of overalls--pants tend to slide right off of her when you pick her up. "Spider Anne" becomes a more appropriate name every day.
