I dressed her today so we went with a colorful outfit.  Chances are she won't be wearing it by the time I get home from work.  She's been averaging about 4 wardrobes a day.

Annika at her first dinner party at Bob and Dottie's.  Dottie was impressed that her burp cloth matched her pants.

 Some pictures of Liam and Annika taken with Instagram.  It makes everything look like a 1970's polaroid. 

Liam was standing up looking at Annika and then he started to fall right back on his bum.

Weekend activities!


Sunday "Father's Day" hanging out at home watching golf.

Saturday we did the Heart Walk.  It's a 3 mile walk through downtown Des Moines to raise money for the American Heart Association.  Annika slept through the whole walk.  Afterward we went to a bar for lunch and she was passed around the table to a couple different ladies and she had her bottle and was happy as a clam.

Annika at 1 month old.  We tried to weigh her this morning and our best guess is that she is just over 11.5 pounds.

Annika's first bottle.  Marla pumped some milk in the morning and I gave her the bottle that evening.  She sucked it all right up.
