May

So my laptop broke before I could post this. So I would have had this done sooner.

 She stated to randomly grab things and hold them for a bit.

 So I've gotten in the habit of having a mug of hot chocolate and a bowl of instant oatmeal for breakfast. One morning I made the mistake for putting my oatmeal in my mug, while I waited for my water to heat up.

  Michael walked for his B.S. in Computer Science from UVU.

Annabelle and her two cosines just older than her on the Anderson side. One by 11 days and the other by 8 months.

Annabelle started her rehab for her torticollis. She is progressing quite well. She has three stretching exercises and one strengthening. We're also suppose to hold her in the football hold on our right side. Turns out my right arm is really weak. She also suppose to do quite a bit of tummy time. She getting better at doing tummy time. When she first started, it was hard for her to get past a minute. Now she lasting four minutes. She really got good at it after she learned to roll from her back to her tummy. I was looking up when babies typically learn to crawl and saw that most babies seem to learn to roll from their tummies to their backs first. Annabelle hasn't really learned that yet. I believe she has roll from tummy to back once unassisted. And that was after she had rolled onto her tummy and had the momentum to keep going.

I also realized that we named her after two Disney Princesses.

 We also blessed Annabelle while some people were here for Michael's graduation. I'm a sentimental person. I like things that have stories behind them. The dress that Annabelle was blessed in is the same one that I was. My sister was also blessed in it. My Mother made if from her wedding dress. So that dress is 40 years old. And the blanket she is on was given it her from my cosine. She made this for her baby who died before birth. She named the baby Annabelle. She put the blanket in the closet and proceed to have boys. When she heard that I named my daughter Annabelle, she thought that she should have it.

This is all the people who came to my parent's house after the blessing.

Also she has started to pull hair and take a bottle. We thought that Michael needed more bonding time, so once a day Michael feeds her breast milk from a bottle.

We've put her in the bumbo for the first time. She likes it for a little while.

She needs to get lots of tummy time. It's part of her physical therapy. She starts out liking it but then not long after she hates it. She started to get more tummy time when she learned to roll over onto her tummy.

These pictures are just so cute that I couldn't leave one out.

The incline of the chair helped her move from her tummy to her back.

I've started to do Activity Days again, and I bring Annabelle with me.

Here she is in a box with most of her blankets. Someday she'll be old enough for blankets.

She doesn't stay put anymore.

In this picture I think she has Grinch hair.

So that's it for May.
