Video: Anna gets some help walking

It’s so interesting to watch a baby’s personality develop from a newborn sleeping-eating blob to a big girl who reacts and interacts just like you and me. Already I can tell she is extremely stubborn (hmmm… where do you think she gets that from?), but also quite laid-back (thankyouverymuch), very independent and determined, and has [...]

Happy 9 months, Anna-Banana! I won’t have her growth stats until her check-up next Tuesday, so I’ll post them then. I’m wondering if she will measure smaller this time around… she can still wear quite a few of her 3-6 month clothes. And it seems everywhere we go, there are younger, much larger babies who [...]

Anna is 8 months old today! As far as I can tell on our horribly inaccurate scale, she’s about 17 lbs. We’ll get her official stats at the 9 month check-up. We’ve been making a point to be busy lately and get out of the house so we don’t get cabin fever – the weather [...]

Anna’s tooth seems to come further above ground every day. It’s still a tiny little thing, but it’s causing much grief, lots of whining, and terrible naps around here. And I think it’s probably bothering her as well. I managed to snap a photo of the little offender this morning. And just in case you [...]

Anna’s first tooth finally popped through yesterday! And its neighbor is just about to crop up too. Poor girl. Two new teeth at once. This is leading to quite a few unhappy awakenings. (For her and us.) I tried to take some photos, but they were all just a blurry pink mess since she wouldn’t [...]

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

Summer is finally happening here in the mountains… just in time for the rainy season to start. We’ve been out and about trying to take advantage of it while it lasts. We went for a long hike yesterday – I just posted some photos from the top of the mountain. And today, Anna had her [...]

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 [...]

It seems like Anna figures out how to do something new every few days now. She is a very busy girl. Her latest tricks are doing upward dog, spinning totally around while in upward dog, getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth (crawling: here we come!), rolling the whole way [...]
