Wonderful visit

Our little woodcutter.

Rebecca loves the baby. In the morning when we were still in our bedroom we could hear Rebecca say "baby,baby".

Rebecca loved to "drive" Annalie around. She was fast.

Annalie really enjoyed her Aunt Emily especially being held by her.

Dreamteam: Michi and Rebecca.

Emily, Jörg and Rebecca came and stayed with us and it was wonderful. These last two weeks were full of a lot of fun, eating candy and having a great time with the two babies. Especially when watching the Grinch - Rebecca would make all of us laugh.We really enjoyed having them with us and already miss them a lot. Annalie keeps looking and looking around for her cousin, her aunt and her uncle from the States.We miss hearing Rebecca say all worried "be-be-bear", "no-no-no" or "hi" "Bye-bye".She is the funniest 18 months old we´ve ever met. We can´t wait to see all of them again and spend more time together.nAnnalie is getting bigger. Today she looks like a little Santa Clause with her big belly.hShe´s 10 weeks old on Saturday and keeps on getting cuter everyday. Her kind of cry sounds very "girly" already. She´s such a good and funny baby.Tomorrow we´ll have her first round of vaccinations and we´re not really looking forward to it.

Cousins

Our little doll!

She loves to lay on the cute little quilt her Omi made for her.

Just like her daddy.

We are sooo in love. We could look at your little sweetheart 24 hours a day :) but because of some lack of sleep we have to go to bed and stop looking at her at least for some hours :).

We´re so excited the Christmas season is about to start. Today we already start to decorate our appartment since Tuesday Rebecca, Emily and Jörg will come - YEAH! We´re so excited since we haven´t seen Rebecca and Emily for a whole year. Way tooo long.

Annalie is still getting bigger. We´re about to put her newborn-onesies away. Unbelievable, isn´t it!? One new thing she loves is laying on her changing table and strechting her legs and arms at once while making loud sounds. Next time she does it we try to record it on camera and put it online.

New pics of little Annalie!

We copied the idea of Emily, Jorg and Rebecca´s Blog to take a picture of Annalie each month to show how fast she´s growing. The black and white picture shows her cute little smile. I can´t believe she doesn´t really look like a newborn anymore. Our baby is growing!!

Our little Speckmäuschen

Our little sweetie is now almost 6 weeks old. We can´t believe how fast that went. She´s so much fun. A couple of days ago she gave us her first real smile. That was soo cute and made us really happy. Now getting up during the night seems much easier whenever she looks at us and smiles.

Last week we had her third examination at the pediatrician. The doctor said she´s a real girl and a very active child. She even smiled at the doctor. She also gained a good amount of weight (4,4kg or almost 10lbs) and we call her our little "Klopsi" or "Specki".

She normally wakes us one or two times during the night and usually sleeps 3-4- hours and loves to look around or just concentrates on Mama´s or Papa´s eyes for minutes. Whenever we change her she´s like a little squirmy wurm and just dances on her changing table.

We´re so happy with our little funny girl. Life is so much better having her around!!

Today is a special day since we have our 9 year since we started dating anniversary! This is so crazy and we feel very old but it´s been the best 9 years for us and we´re so happy that we have so many years still to come :) and now even happier with our little baby.

Having fun and growing and growing!

We couldn´t believe it when Annalie all of a sudden started to lift her head when laying on Papa´s stomach. She is so intelligent and smart and beautiful, adorable, fun, ......

She can do so many things like:

- Playing with her hands

- smiling in her sleep

- Talking and making funny sounds while having her diaper changed

- looking around (Michi thinks she especially likes to look at the Michael Jordan poster in the office)

- she follows with her eyes when being showed something

- loves her binkie

- riding a bike

- counting to 100

- reading books

Well the last three were a little exaggerated.. but it won´t be long and she´ll be able to do all of them. Now watch and enjoy :)
