Certificate of Citizenship

We got Ana Kate's Certificate of Citizenship in the mail today....as of July 1st she was a citizen of the United States of America!! We were so happy to finally get that paper. Now we can begin the process of changing her name and applying for a birth certificate from our state.

We had a busy week. I had lunch with some friends on Tuesday and they threw me a surprise baby shower for Ana Kate. It was so thoughtful of them and we had a great time. It was the first time they met Ana Kate and she was 'Miss Personality' as usual.

Ana Kate also had her first doctor's appointment and immunizations this week. She is already 19 pounds and 6 ounces and is in very good health. Her doctor was quite impressed with her. She cried when she got her shots, but after giving her a bottle she fell asleep. When she woke up she was her normal happy self again.

We were out of town for most of this week visiting family and friends. We had a great time and everyone loved baby girl. I've included some pictures from our trip.
