Annie's first week!

Annie's first tummy time....daddy joined in.


Annie's first bath--she is such a good baby. She didn't even let out a grunt in protest!



She is one week old--we can't believe it. Here she is compared to Charlie's one week pic...Charlie was definitely a bit chubbier at this point.

Coming Home

We took Annie home from the hospital dressed in her best--- a smocked dress we bought for her on the day we found out she was a girl!

She, of course, had to have stylish outerwear as well. These are all of the pictures we got, as Charlie promptly fell down and hit his head out of excitement the moment we got home and attracted all of our attention. Oh well! Less pictures--part of being the second child, I guess!

It's fun having a girl!!!

Graham keeps accusing us all (my mom, sisters and I) of playing dress up....well, maybe...

When Charlie Met Annie

Charlie was finally able to come up to the hospital today (after being quarantined for illness for the last couple days, poor thing!). Don't let this picture fool you....this was the ONLY picture of the four of us...Charlie was not interested in Annie...we only got him to get up on the bed because he could push the buttons and make it go up and down. :) He was very sweet to her when he first met her, tickling her toes. He later gave her a car sticker, but other than that, I'm not sure he realized she was actually in the room....but, car stickers and toe tickling were more than I had hoped for, so we were thrilled!


He really liked pulling her bassinet around the hallway....he seemed very proud to be a big brother. Charlie loves to be a big helper...hopefully this will come in handy the next few weeks.
Annie is a little better at holding still for pics, so we got quite a few of the three of us. She looks like her daddy, doesn't she??

Baby Annie's Birthday

Anna Grace Averitt was born at 11:48 this morning, a beautiful healthy little girl!!!! She weighs 6 lb, 10 ou. We are overwhelmed with gratitude. She looks just like Charlie to us, but with darker hair--about Graham's color. Alyson feels great, and baby Annie is in a delightful sleepy state...we are loving bonding with her and getting to know her sweet face. Thank you all for your prayers. God is truly so gracious!!!! More pics to come!!

Teamwork

It's been really fun watching Charlie start to actually care about and interact with his friends, rather than just playing next to them. Here he and Robert show a little teamwork...very cute!
