5 months and first Easter

Here's Annie! Clockwise from top left: First Easter; at daycare; sitting up!; Palm Sunday

Annie is sitting very well now and can correct herself as she starts to tip over (not all the time--we've had some tumbles). She seemed to enjoy her Easter celebration, though we paced/slept during the entire church service. Oma and Opa brought an Easter basket with a new summer dress and new shoes. This girl has more shoes than she knows what to do with! Lucky girl. She is also enjoying time with aunts and uncles as Erin, Will, Todd, and Amanda have been around on their various spring breaks. She has so many people to love her.

Annie says "Happy St. Patrick's Day!" She is the cutest little non-Irish leprechaun ever.

Got some time on your hands? Edit your photos at fotoflexer.com or picnik.com (where I made this beauty) Picnik will import all of your pictures from Photobucket, Flickr, Facebook, etc. and then save them to your albums again. But I'm sure you have better things to do (I did this at work with my students)

In Annie news, she is THIS CLOSE to sitting up! Kleinman family can see a demonstration tomorrow at Grandma's house. She is sleeping a lot lately and eating quite a bit, so I'm thinking she's in the middle of a growth spurt. Eat, sleep, eat, sleep. I had to work last night (prom fundraiser dinner) and Annie stayed with Dad for a few hours. She ate, she screamed for 2 hours, then fell asleep. She's been pretty attached to me lately, but I didn't know it was that bad! Your daddy loves you baby, and he is just as capable as I am of taking good care of you. Don't be a stinker.

In the highchair

Annie can almost sit on her own now, so she took a spin in the high chair at daycare today. Such a big girl! She continues to enjoy her baby food: applesauce, bananas, pears, peaches, and sweet potatoes. On the menu this week: squash and peas.

5 months!

Studious already! Anne does love to read.

My daddy is SO funny!

Annie is officially 5 months old today! She's become a master at rolling over (back to front) and is starting to sit. She tipped the scales at 13 lbs, 4 oz last week, so she's growing like crazy. She hates rice cereal and cries at the first taste, but has eaten sweet potatoes, bananas, and pears with enthusiasm. Yesterday she helped celebrate her Oma's 50th birthday. Happy Birthday, Oma! Anne loves spending the day with you.
