Baby Anna's First Week in America

Baby Anna turned 3 months old today! She's had a busy first week back in America. Here are a few snapshots from the week before we left to visit Anna's great-grandparents in Illinois.

After a long journey to Mumbai . . . Anna snuggles up in her bassinet on her first airplane ride from Mumbai to Amsterdam. She was the perfect little traveller. We swaddled her tight and she slept the whole journey.


Back in the States, Anna enjoys getting some zzzz's outside in the garden . . .

Anna gets some serious advice from Uncle Matt . . .

The following day we went to the zoo with the Guinn's . . . Anna enjoyed meeting her new little boyfriend Ryan who is 4 weeks older than her.

It was a pretty eventful first week in America for Anna and a nice way to end her third month.
