Grandmothers

The Grandmothers spending their very first moments with Anna's new monkey that Anderson gave to her when she arrived at the hospital to meet him!

The Dads...

The Dads with Anna & Andy

SLEEP...

After his big day Andy nestles in for his first night in our world. He gets to meet Hurricane Anna tomorrow as she also whisks into his life! More updates to come.

That's my Daddy!

Anderson already "singing" the praises of Daddy!

Andy and Mommy

Both Andy and Mommy are doing great and getting to spend time together.

Anderson Todd Hurst

Anderson makes his arrival on April 24 at 11:18 AM. He was 21" long, weighed in at 7 lb. 14 oz. with dark hair and "tanned" skin. Ok, maybe not real tan but after Anna's milky white complexion and blonde hair anything seems tan!

"Tails"

To minimize the mullet look, and since I won't cut the precious little hair she has, we have resorted to Pigtails.

Anna and Fonz

Anna hugging her favorite toy... (Good boy, Fonz)

Wiping Fonzies feet after coming back inside.

Anna Train

The Anna Train finally slows down enough to snap a picture after acquiring her first skidmark. She doesn't seem too broken up over it......

Like Mommy & Daddy

Loves shopping.... like Mommy...... has to be around food..... like Daddy!

Just hanging out

If she isn't posing on the beach she's being a daredevil on the swings. Notice Daddy's role in making sure his daughter is properly covered... this will help in about 16 years.

Sharing a Sunset

Looks like Mommy caught Daddy and Anna sharing a sunset.

Bikini "Banana"

One of the few times Dad will let his daughter be seen in a bikini!

Anna lives for sunsets and hikes

Anna enjoyed being the center of attention the whole time!

Year Old

I guess you can see how busy Anna is keeping up since the pics fom Kauai are just about 11 months old!

Off to Kauai

Well, we haven't really been updating the site so I wanted to get back in the habit. We were able to vacation with the Kirkbrides and Lexi, Anna and Aidan had and incredible amount of fun!

7 Months...CRAWLING!

WE ARE CRAWLING!!! Officially on her 7th Month Birthday, Anna crawled her way into a whole new lifestyle for Mom and Dad. She has also recently decided climbing is fun, and standing in her crib. Thankfully we lowered the mattress in the nick of time.

Also, she boasts a nice NBA hight of 27 3/5 inches, and a little 16 lb 5 oz belly. That's 97% in height, adn 70% in weight. Probably because she loves her veggies.

Updates...

Weekend with Cousins Jack and Samantha - Anna was able to hang out with her cousins at the end of March. We think she gets her activeness from Jack, and loves matching outfits wtih Samantha. It was a great time, and great to see the little ones together!

Sitting Up

Here's a recent picture of Anna and Fonz - Anna likes the world view from sitting up, and loves playing with her toys! She's almost 6 months and mastered veggies and fruits, and tonight had her first swim at the Natatorium... up next, crawling??

Anna, a big girl!

She wants to grow up so fast... Here's Anna in her big girl bathrobe. A lady isn't seen in her PJs alone!

Go Big Ben!

Although living in Cleveland we are technically not supposed to root for the Steelers, Anna couldn't resist wearing her Miami University sweatshirt to cheer Big Ben on (Thanks Natalie!). She also got to try out her new highchair... the best food is yet to come.

4 months!

Anna's four months already! She maintains her healthy legnth at the 90th percentile - 25.5 inches, and a lean 50th percentile for weight - 13 lbs, 7 oz. Besides the latest stats. she rolls all over, naws at her feet, screechs like a Teradactile, and gives the best gummy grins at the end of a long day... We start cereal in the next few days, so watch for updates!

Happy and Drooling

Timber....
Drool and Smiles!

Clean Peanut

Flip Flop

Legs moving, Anna preps for her roll across the family room floor....

Success! Not satisfied, she keeps on going... ...And going... (Good thing Fonz moved)And completion.

Bald is Sexy.

Anna got to spend some time over the holiday's with her big Uncle Josh. It was nice to meet someone that shares her interests - the Muppets and Bald heads. He's under contract to chaperone Anna's future dates.
