Week 96 - Nanner Patiently

Still

Waiting

Patiently

Week 95 - 95 Weeks to Life

They say prison makes you hard.  And lazy.

Nanner has been the one and only, the princess of her domain, for the first 95 weeks of her life.  Now this week or next, for the rest of her life, she'll have to share her tiara and the affection that comes with it with another little princess.  She's the only one here hoping that stretches to 96.

With flaah-fy blonde curls and a pink Columbia fleece, she looked like every other 2 year old yuppy on Southport Avenue.

Nanner has also gone the first 95 weeks of her life without a proper haircut.  She's endured "mama-bangs", "The David Cassidy" and "The JT" before Irina set her straight:  "We make curls nice and flaah-fy, yes?"

Week 94 - Three-Headed Nanner

One

Two

Three

I couldn't pick one this week.  I wanted to choose the one which best represented her current personality so here they are.

Sweet and opinionated, serious and funny, and always our Nanner.

Week 93 - Nanner's Own Medicine

Nanner trying to remember where the nearest Fire Station is...
(yes the baby came with clothes and no, Aimee and I were not the ones who removed them).

We decided to get Anna a "real baby" to help convey the idea of Baby Jane.  Baby bottle, it pees, you change its diaper, eyes open and close - the whole nine yards.  And Nanner loves it, can't get enough of the new baby doll.  But there are also some unintended consequences/benefits - the result of which is that Nanner is getting some of her own medicine.

It's tough being a new mom!  Those little suckers drain the energy right out of you and you don't have time for anything else...

Catching a quick snooze while pretending to read a book (she'll never know):

"Really?  Another Elmo book?  You've got to be kidding me."

By the end of the week Nanner is finally getting the hang of the multi-tasking thing...taking her queues from Daddy...see Week 18.

"This nighttime thing is a snooze.  Nope, just milk...you don't think I would slip a 'sleep aid' in there do you??"
