On June 21st, Anna turned 6 MONTHS OLD! Wow... I really can't believe she is a half year old now. I thought the time went by quickly with Claire, but I'm telling you... my time with Anna has flown by. I know it's because I am busy with two children under the age of two. Life is like a whirlwind sometimes, but I wouldn't want it any other way!! I remember crying when I was early in my pregnancy with Anna, not because I was upset about having another baby, but that I was having two so closely together. I know now that this is God's perfect plan for our lives. The distance in age between Anna & Claire is great. There has never been any jealousy or meanness on Claire's part. She adores her baby sister and Anna lights up when she sees Claire. Now, I'm not going to pretend that life is easy or that I always get a ton of sleep, but my life is so rewarding. Claire tells me now that she loves me and she thanks me for everything I do for her. Anna gives me the sweetest smiles and giggles. Most importantly, I have a great, supportive husband who absolutely loves his family. I am truly blessed!
Anna has her 6 month well check next week so I will update you then on her progress!

I love, love, love this sweet girl!
This picture is a great depiction of Anna. She really is such a joyful, smiley girl!
Grammy's friend and neighbor, Carolyn, got Anna these adorable personalized shoes. One shoe has her name and the other has her birthdate! She also got Claire a pair when she was born. I love personalized stuff! Thanks Carolyn!
As I'm sure you can tell by the pictures... Anna really likes putting her hand/fingers in her mouth! She has done this since she was a newborn.
Anna sits up well now! The only time she falls over is when she gets excited!!
Grammy got Anna a "Sophie the Giraffe" when she was born. Sophie has been both of my girls favorite toy! I highly recommend this to anyone who has a teething child. This is about the best toy to sooth aching gums and is one of the all-time best selling toys ever. It definitely gets this mother's seal of approval! We don't go anywhere without it!

I know the last 6 months flew for you, but I also can't believe Anna is 6 months old. I really can see how she is a big girl now...that baby face is slowly changing and she's sitting up on her own. Her smiles are still the same though, happy and bright! She's so sweet!!!
Such precious 6 month old pictures of Anna. They are wonderful; just like a professional would do. She is certainly growing, but hasn't changed in her 'looks'. She is all Ben!!! God has made Anna with that darling smile. A blessed gift. ~Barb~
You are so right, hold on to the babies because they grow up so quickly!!!!! You are such a good mommy!!! The girls are so darling. Looking forward to seeing them next weekend.
Anna looks so TALL and just gorgeous!! How could it be SIX months already???
These pictures are so cute. Like everyone else, I can't believe how fast time flies! I looked at these pictures a couple times before I realized that her shoes have her name and birthday on them. Where did you find those? How cute!
