Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Anna celebrated her first Thanksgiving with a visit from her Grandma Sue or Ah-ma (chinese for Grandma) and her Auntie Lyn. Grandma Sue and Auntie Lyn arrived Thanksgiving afternoon - the same day that Anna turned 8 weeks old. Lyn was also here when Anna turned 4 weeks old and was amazed by how much she has changed in 4 short weeks. In fact, Lyn could be heard many times saying "Her head has gotten so big!"

Anna's biggest milestone this week...lifting her head!

We went to Opryland for lunch and Anna got a free bear....the free bear is in her stroller -- it's not the giant bear looking at her like she's a picnic basket!!

Our Music City rock star baby girl! Thanks to Auntie Lyn for her stylish new onesie!

It's hard to believe that Anna is 6 weeks old! The books say that at 6 weeks infants go through a growth spurt and we believe that in the Dundas household! On the day of her 6 week mark Anna went from waking only once a night to waking at least twice and not wanting to go back to sleep! Perhaps she knew it was the weekend and knows that is the best time to party all night long!? But last night she seemed to settle into the growth spurt and slept through until 4am....now when was the last time I thought getting up at 4am was the sign of a good day to come? Of course with the growth spurt comes all the adorable little changes we see in our little girl...the favorites being more smiles and the beginning of squeals of delight!

Our little libra....we brought this to the hospital when Anna was born....it didn't fit then but six weeks later Anna could finally wear her Libra onesie!

Hello new friends!! Who loves you baby?

Daddy loves me!! Having a whale of a time on her play mat......

Happy Days...

Anna is 5 weeks old and we're amazed at the difference we see in her now from just a week ago...


She's become more alert and more aware of the world around her and we have more nights of 6 hours of sleep than we do 4 hours! She's turning her head towards sounds, admiring herself in mirrors, and she finally fits in her newborn clothes!

Here is Anna......

Happy Halloween!

It was an exciting Halloween weekend here in Music City that began with a visit from Auntie Lyn. We spent Anna's first Halloween playing dress up - Anna's first costume of the night was a tribute to a favorite of Mommy's and Auntie's growing up - Wonder Woman. Just like her Mommy and Auntie though Anna would have preferred to have the invisible jet instead of just the cape! After passing out some candy we decided to take a walk around the neighborhood - for the walk Anna dressed up in her warmest pumpkin outfit. And since no pumpkin is complete without a prince and a princess we put on our finest tiara's (Daddy wore a king's crown). On our walk we saw a house that had every goblin and ghoul you could imagine. On Sunday we decided to check out one of the local corn mazes. After a few tosses of the pumpkin sling, we went into the maze......and quickly realized that if we were 3 feet shorter the maze would be a lot harder!
