We're on Twitter!

@TeamAnneMarie is on Twitter!  I have never been on Twitter so this is all new to me.  Alex set up our profile today and we are up and running.  He has been spending the last hour answering my questions on all things in the Twitter-verse.  Don't forget - join our team for the March for Babies, here is a link to the Team Page  http://www.marchforbabies.org/team/t1508452

Hope to see you on May 1st in Payson Park!

Oops

So apparently, Anne-Marie's little cold packed a big ole punch on the whole family.  Sorry everyone.   Thankfully the reports are that everyone is on the mend.  Anne-Marie is finally off the nebulizer. I have moved back upstairs to our bedroom and we are even attempting a night out of the bouncy seat! I am not sure Chester is happy I am back upstairs however...

A GREAT report from the eye doctor

Anne-Marie had her eye check up today and wonderful news, her eyes are perfect.  This was a follow-up with the eye doctor who checked her eyes in the hospital for Retinopathy of prematurity.  Today he was checking to see if she would need glasses.  Often, he will have to see preemies a few times to monitor their eyes but he said there is no need for Anne-Marie to have to come back!  (Unfortunately she has me for a mother so she will likely need glasses at some point in her life.)

A new thing

Anne-Marie has figured out that if she "talks" while you are bouncing her on your knee, her voice will make funny sounds.  It is now my favorite thing to mess with her and get her bouncing and "talking" then stop and see what she does.  She usually stops and looks at me.  When I start up again, so does she!  She is so much FUN!

Baptism weekend

A great weekend had by all in New York for Anne-Marie's baptism.  We were joined by friends, family and cherished members of the North Granville United Methodist Church (who are really more like family) to welcome Anne-Marie into the church.  Uncle Wayne (Liz's uncle) and Tara (great friend of ours) were her godparents.  The weather timed it perfectly so we could all get there and home safely. 

Uncle Nate actually got a hair cut and trimmed his beard for the occasion
