Hard to believe we've had little Anna here for three weeks. For the most part the adjustment has not been too difficult. It has been made much easier thanks to great friends and family. I think I've cooked two meals since I've been home from the hospital. Looks like that's come to an end now, so it's back to reality!
Zane and Nora continue to love her, although Nora sometimes can't make up her mind if she wants to compete for Mom's attention, or just be mad or just love her sister. Almost daily Zane will say "I wanna hold her." I will set Anna in his lap and he will hold her for about ten seconds and then say "I'm finished." Nora will often want to hold Anna and will want to hold her for a LONG time. I will hold Anna in Nora's lap but then try to take her away so I can get something done and Nora will just scream. She would be content if I just let Anna sit in her lap all afternoon.
Anna continues to be a good-natured baby. We've had just a couple of "difficult" nights/days, and by difficult I mean she just wants to be held--not difficult like inconsolable. She nurses about every three hours and is growing like a weed. At her two-week appointment I was hoping she was back up to birth weight--it just didn't seem she was eating that much. She surprised me coming in at 9 pounds! She is changing so much.
We've had a couple of nice sunny days and were able to get outside. We all needed the fresh air and sunshine. I even ventured to the grocery store with all three kids--in the rain--but I don't think I'll be doing that again any time soon.
Grandpa P and Anna
Zand and Nora love to play in her bed after nap time
Why do they have to grow up so fast?
Nora really can't wait until Anna can play
Getting bigger!
Zane wants Anna to play, too. Yes, their room is a disaster!
Pensive--a common look for her

Great post! I love the pictures! Nora will be a great older sister. I can already tell that Zane will be a very protective brother. :)
Awesome pictures - baby Anna is growing so fast! Love that she is such a good baby - and that I will get plenty of chances to hold her while you do music time! :)
I glad to hear that things are going well. I think Zane, Nora, and little Anna look so much more grown up...is it just because there are 3 now? What a fun, cute family!
Your kids are so cute. I'm glad that things are going well for you. I hear that it is so nice when the new baby is a "good" baby. I should be back up in the area in June so if y'all are around me and Denzil would love to come by and visit. Kris unfortunately will be doing his rotations.
