28-29 weeks

I promise I havent been slacking on Anna's blog...its just with all the recent travel I havent really had the time to sit down and write.

week 28
This was the week of Anna's first plane ride. Anna and I flew from Honolulu to Atlanta to Nashville. Anna did sooooooo good on the plane. She didnt cry any...well one time in her sleep she whimpered but nothing else. She really enjoyed the gentleman that sat next to us on the first flight. Luckily he was a grandpa so he didnt mind her tugging on his sweater whenever she was awake. Anna was very cooperative in Atlanta when we had to change planes (and visited every concourse in Atlanta because we missed our first flight-not our fault...plane was late). She didnt cry or fuss at anytime. I was so proud of my baby girl. She spent the entire time just observing her surroundings.
This week Anna was able to meet her Grandma and Grandpaw Shoe for the first time. She also got to meet her cousins Maddy and Adyn for the first time. She did well with everyone. She seemed to spend most of her time laughing and smiling at everyone. There was one incident...where she acquired her first bruise...we will just say she had a spill off of a cousins lap...but all is ok.
This week was Anna's first Christmas. We spent Christmas day with the Shoemate side of the family. Anna didnt seem to get the whole concept...but is enjoying the toys. William and I were glad that everyone got to meet Anna while she was still younng
Anna is working really hard to learn to crawl. She can get up on all fours really well and lunges forward...but that is about it.



This week and part of week 29 we spent with the Durrette side of the family. Anna got to see her Nana and Poppop Durrette again and got to meet her Uncle Adam and her cousin Sophia. We celebrated another Christmas...which was fun. Sophia was the best to watch...if she didnt like a gift she would just throw it over her shoulder. the best this week was watching Sophia and Anna interact. Anna seemed to be constantly observing her. Anna spent this time also working on her crawling...still doing the lunge...but every once in awhile she will actually put one hand forward and move one foot...but that is about as far as she gets. Her favorite word is still Da Da...
This week although is was a great week was also a sad week. This week we said goodbye to Daddy as he headed back to Hawaii and we headed to Kansas.
