Our Beach Baby

Anna Kate's First Trip to the beach! It took us 2 hours to get ready to go down, and we stayed for about 10 minutes! At least we got these adorable photos!

I love my dolly, or do I ?????..........

Anna Kate can't decide if she loves her doll that Grandmommy gave her for Christmas, or if she Hates it. She loves to play in her crib (she doesn't sleep there, though). She tries and tries to get the doll to play with her. Anna Kate touches it and grabs at its little face, but when it doesn't respond, she gets so mad!!!!!
On another note, our baby was twelve weeks old yesterday. I think I'm gonna live! She is such a good baby, our only problem lately is sleep. We still do not get enough of it. She does not like to nap longer than about 20-30 minutes at a time, giving her mommy minimal time to do anything else!

The Baby is Spoiled Already!

Being a new mommy is really hard! Besides worrying about me all the time, my mom really never gets anything done. Especially because I won't let her put me down. I guess thats what being a mom is all about! Otherwise, I am a really good baby. I just won't take a nap unless someone is holding me. I weigh 8 lbs now and am a little piggy! I love to eat.

Thank Heaven for Grandparents and Great Aunts

This is Anna Kate's nursery. Great Aunt Cathy in Dallas made the beautiful bedding for us. The skirt is pink and ivory silk - it matches the curtains. The bumper is calico and pink matelasse with a wide eyelet ruffle. The ties are satin ribbons.
The Moses basket is a gift from Grandparents Anna and Dick (or Nana and Big Daddy). The wallpaper was hung by Grandparents Glinda and Buddy (or Grandmommy and Grandbud).
Our changing table is an antique sideboard with carved roses. Grandmommy and Grandbud refinished and painted it for us. The roses are antiqued and the hardware is washed with blue. Nana is working on a bunny painting for us to hang above!

Hello, Anna Kate, we are waiting!

This is the blog site of Anna Kate Shea, daughter of Bethany and Steve Shea. We created this blog so that our families and friends that live far away may watch Anna Kate as she grows. For now, we are waiting for our baby, so stay tuned!!!!!!!
