Merger!

Two kids plus two blogs proved to be too much upkeep for this busy mom, hence the long break I've taken since the last post. Every time I'd think, "I really should update Annalise's/Tommy's blog," that thought was quickly followed by "But I don't have time to do both right now, so I'll just wait..."

So, our family's new and improved blog can be found at: www.wedewer.com/blog. New pictures and posts will appear in the not-too-distant future.

Visit often to keep up on the latest and greatest of the Wedewer Four. All content found on our blogspot pages can be viewed on the new site as well. Thanks for keeping up with us!

Peas

In the same manner we tortured her brother (see: http://tommywedewer.blogspot.com/2005/10/peasmake-it-stop.html) Annalise's first vegetable was green peas. See how much she liked them?

But after a few bites she kind of got into it! She lumped down the rest of her peas with poise and ended the meal with a big smile.

At five months, she shares breakfast and dinner with the family. Rice cereal is the foundation for both meals and so far we've introduced peas and sweet potatoes, too. She eagerly waits with an open mouth between bites and she really seems to enjoy being a full-fledged member of the meal. Tommy loves to comment several times during each feeding "Bee has a messy face!" I'm going to try to make homemade veggies and fruits this time around. I just got myself a 14-cup food processor, which is basically big enough to puree a whole watermelon (okay, maybe not THAT big!), so it'll be easy to sneak veggies into big brother's food and liquefy anything that she might like to try.

Pretty Blankie

Aunt Michele hand-crocheted this beautiful blankie for Annalise. It's so soft and our baby girl loves to relax and play on top of it.

How happy is SHE?!?

Exersaucin' is Serious Business!

What a look she has on her face! Annalise LOVES to hang out in the exersaucer, though you wouldn't know it from that serious expression. When she presses the animal noise/music buttons it startles her a bit, but the dragon is her favorite friend to hug and she gives lots of kisses to the sunshine. Tommy likes to spin the globe for her while giving a commentary about "Planet Erf."

The dynamic duo in action:

Easter

Annalise's first Easter was a wonderful occasion. The weather was beautiful, the kids were in great moods and we were able to snap a few cute pics before we went to church.

Henry's Visit

Tommy wasn't the only one who had fun with Henry! While Tommy was in school one morning, Jess and I took the kids down to Town Square for a little shopping. They rode side-by-side in our double stroller. They debated pacifiers...Henry's is called "Nummy," Annalise calls hers "Poppy." And they admired each other's snuggle blankets, handmade treasures by Auntie Jess.

Big Girl Bath

Annalise took her first bath in the big tub March 5. She certainly enjoys splashing and kicking her legs in the water (which is why we had to move her to the big tub...she was soaking my kitchen every night!)
