March Madness!

Here's our March update!

We made it to 2 months and still have the harness on full time.

Annabelle is growing and eating well. She's a healthy and happy baby, who is sleeping well through the night and stays active (or spends time sleeping) while playing with her cat ZuZu.
She likes hanging out with Robert when he gets home from work.

I made it to 27! Among other things this month, I celebrated my good ol' birthday.
Robert arranged a babysitter and we headed out for a relaxing dinner at one of our new favorite restaurants, Steam. I was spoiled with cards from friends and family and some fun gifts! Robert surprised me with my new tennis racquet that I've had my eye on for over a year.

Last week I returned back to work! It was an extremely busy week, but "we" adjusted and made it work! I've enjoyed being back to a normal routine again, and Annabelle has been really helpful as you can tell. :) No really though, I've managed to keep up with work and her schedule so far. Let's hope it continues.
Isn't she a cute assistant? However, I think she needs a bit more training because she always seems to sleep or play on the job.

As usual during March, we've been enjoying the March Madness games, especially as I watch my bracket tank. However, Robert's still doing alright in his bracket. At least, Annabelle thought the games were entertaining.

The Easter Bunny visited early this year! Robert's parents came into town to spend the day with us and showered us with some treats!
Needless to say, I've been binging on eating some yummy candy lately.

 The weather has been strangely cold here for this time of year, so we're taking advantage of the nice days we get by going on walks with sunglasses because the Florida sun can be bright!
 Here's to hoping warmer weather will stay around!

Visitors

 Since Annabelle was born, we've been hosting and visiting family and friends to show her off.
Her first visitor was Grandma Fountain who rushed down from Jacksonville to be with us in the hospital shortly after her birth. She was a great help while we were away from home.
While still in the hospital, her great-grandparents and our friends Carlos and Jennifer, and Stephanie dropped in to hold her and say hello.
Once we made it home, my wonderful momma came to stay with me for ten days.
She loved spending time with miss Annabelle. 
We had a great time relaxing and enjoyed having her here with us.
 Unfortunately, we failed to snap photos of our visits from friends, but lots of people dropped in to say hello to Annabelle. We were so appreciative of all the love and support. 

Grandpa Fountain made it down and fell in love.
Other visitors from Jacksonville made it down for a visit:
Nick and Mrs. Momma-to-be Amanda Ferrer
It was such a great visit we all started crying (no, screaming). Here we are imitating miss Annabelle and her wonderful set of lungs.
Once a month old, we ventured out for our first road trip to Jacksonville to see Granny and friends.
It was a beautiful visit.
It was fun catching up with friends and seeing Austin and Mel who were recently engaged. Chris and Teri, Robert's parents, hosted a fun party where we celebrated these two wonderful events.

And this one can't get enough of Miss Annabelle, he's smitten. 
 I think she's going to be quite spoiled and have lots of people who love her.
