Baby Cunningham

This certainly isn’t my most “becoming” picture … but I thought it was kinda cute nonetheless. Pay no attention to my crazy hair (Anabelle is kinda sporting the same “do”) or my 100 year old glasses (yep, I do sleep in them all night long!). On this particular morning, Anabelle and I caught a little [...]

A few days ago, we gave Anabelle her 2nd bath and washed her hair for the 1st time. We had experienced a “poop incident” in which poop actually got on her head!!! Don’t ask … just use your imagination. Anyway, we figured getting poop on your head is a good reason to wash your hair [...]

We realized recently that we haven’t taken any pictures of our new family of three … or should I say our family of five. While we share our home with dozens of critters … Elsa and Ticker are our two dogs and therefore, have “family status”. And since Elsa is getting up there in age [...]

I had no doubt that Mark would be a great dad … but over the past few days … he’s been outstanding!  I was really sick for a few days … literally unable to get out of bed and completely worthless in regards to taking care of Anabelle … let alone anything else. Mark (on [...]

Anabelle turned 2 weeks old yesterday and she has become such a funny little girl with even more expressions and longer periods of being very alert and interactive. She now makes eye contact with us and likes to look out the windows at the big world outside … both of which are pretty neat. We’ve [...]

Due to our hectic work schedules, Mark’s frequent traveling and all of our responsibilities with Second Chance Farms … we planned to have our baby shower rather close to Anabelle’s anticipated due date. Most first babies arrive a bit late anyway … which is what we were counting on. However, Anabelle, as many had suspected, [...]

Anabelle is quickly approaching 2 weeks of age! And over the past 2 weeks, she has become much more alert and interactive. However, I keep telling her that she’s going to develop premature forehead wrinkles if she’s not careful. She hasn’t quite realized that she can open her eyes wide enough to see the world [...]

Until today, Anabelle has been lounging in comfy “onsies” and various “lounge wear”. These comfy clothes keep her warm and make diaper changes easy. However, today we went out for breakfast with Grandma MacDonald and so we thought it was time for Anabelle to wear an actual outfit. She wore her first pair of pants [...]

Anabelle got her first bath yesterday and she wasn’t exactly thrilled with the whole ordeal. She screamed the whole time and didn’t seem to enjoy any part of it … until the hooded towel came into the picture. She didn’t think that part was so bad at all. (But doesn’t she look a little bit [...]

Who says a 10 day old baby can’t have favorites? Anabelle has received all kinds of gifts and hand me downs (our house has literally become a sort of “baby land”) . However, one relatively simple gadget has quickly climbed it’s way to the top of Anabelle’s “favorite things” list. Currently, at the top of [...]
