Happy 7 months Anna-Banana! I’m a big girl and can sit up all by myself!

Ok, so I’m a little gung-ho with the video camera lately. But how can I not be when my little monkey girl is doing this all over the place: Video: Anna gearing up And this: Video: Anna petting the doggy (A funny side note: MS wouldn’t let me upload that last video at first… I [...]

Sorry for the lack of posts lately – Anna was sick all last week, and of course she passed it onto me this week. If this is how she felt, no wonder she was so fussy all week (although I think I might be whinier than she was. But in my defense, it’s no fair [...]

Anna went to the pool twice this week. The first time she was a bit unsure, but she never freaked out or cried and eventually settled in and watched the other kids splashing around.

I got the best Mother’s Day present yesterday when Anna decided something I was saying was hilarious as I was strapping her in the carseat to leave church. She was squealing and carrying on for quite a while. It was so darn funny and cute and of course it brought a tear to my eye. [...]
