11 Week Update

Anna has officially slept through the night FIVE nights in a row. She broke her record last night by sleeping 9 hours: 10 to 7 straight. Anna is full of new tricks, including actively entertaining herself with toys, especially laying under her new play mat and grabbing and batting at hanging objects. She also talks to them. Her vision is changing, and she can see much further now, so she will follow you with her eyes and head as you walk around a room. And yes, her hair is still sticking straight up (although the color seems to be lighter.) Her cheeks are now fatter than ever and her wrists and ankles are covered in fat rolls, which is just as cute as it gets.

We can't wait to spend Anna's first Thanksgiving in Union with all of our Harrison Clan. And then it's back to work for me on December 1. Boo hoo...

The Thumb That Got Us Through The Night...

Anna Sleeps! (And so do I!)

I am thrilled to say that for the last three nights Anna has slept ALL NIGHT LONG! She slept 8 hours the first night, 7 the second, and 8 1/2 last night. I can't believe it! I think this is partially due to her age (11 weeks now), which happens to be the exact age that I slept through the night. She also has found her thumb, and I have begun to swaddle her with her thumb available and boy does she use it. It is quite adorable. She may be sucking her thumb in the 5th grade, but honestly who cares?!?! The good thing about the thumb is that, unlike the pacifier, she can't "lose" it and cry out for it. I am a VERY happy mama. Tom Kester says that I look "rested"! YEA!
