What does 2 months get you? SMILES!


Annalee started smiling A LOT this month! All my "mom" friends were right...the smiles are worth all the dirty diapers, sleepless nights and fussy days! I can't believe 2 months has come and gone. May 19th the Sawyers are packing up and moving back to Texas. Key West will always be a special place for us...and we will miss our friends and our island lifestyle dearly!

Annalee's favorite thing to do is sit in her chair in the morning sun and stare outside...this warms her up for her long morning nap. 
She is SO much more alert now. Tracking sounds and faces. 


On Friday's we Happy Hour at the Sunset Lounge. It won't be long before Annalee outgrows her sling!
Our sweet friends the Hendersons got Annalee onsies that have her name on them...they are her favorite casual attire. 
After lunch milk belly. 


Annalee spent some time saying goodbye to her good friend Beau who moved to North Carolina. 
Smiles, smiles and more smiles. Blake and Jewels live for her smiles!

Meeting Uncle Clint!

Annalee! Wake up! You are meeting your Uncle Clint today!
Clint flew in on a cross country training flight and met Annalee. She loved him and he was sooo good at comforting and loving on her.
Uncle Clint knows what he is doing....he has done this before. 
This has been a great weekend!!!

1 month of life behind me...

Annalee with her new rosary bracelet. 
Before dinner....not in the mood for pictures!
sleepy mom and sleepy baby....
Last weekend we went to watch the Sunset at the Sunset Bar on the base. 
watching the world....
Daddy is home! Thank goodness!

This is what our day looks like....all day long.
Love.
I can't believe it has been a month. It went by so fast...yet I can barely recall life before Annalee. Seems like she has been a part of us forever. Just when I think I can't love her more...the next moment comes and love grows.

Mimi's Visit

Blake's Mom came  to visit for Easter. Annalee loved having new loving arms to fall asleep in!
We hit the sights and fun bars while Mimi was here. We stopped at Willie T's and tried their Key Lime Pie. 
We took Annalee to the Butterfly Conservatory. She accidentally slept the whole time...but the rest of us enjoyed the beautiful exhibit. 

Quick Martini at La Te Da. 
Easter Morning. 

We will miss you Mimi!!!

Answered prayer!

New Adventures

Annalee had her very first play date with her friend Beau. Beau's Mom and I walked together through our entire pregnancy. They are two weeks a part. 
It has been so fun watching her discover the world. 

First Bottle.....hates it!
Finally....figured this out. Blake loved getting to feed her.

Taking photos makes me sleepy!!
Blake and I took Annalee to the backyard for some photos. She loved the sunlight and cool breeze...
