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 [...]
Anna’s 6 month check up was this past Monday! Here are the latest stats on her growth: 24.75″ long (20th percentile) 14 lbs. 13.5 oz. (25th percentile) 15 7/8″ head circumference (8th percentile) We don’t go back to the doc until she’s 9 months old now and then after that, 12 months. I’ll be glad [...]
Happy 6 month Birthday my little Anna-Banana!! 8 days old: Earlier this afternoon:
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. The second time (today), Daddy came along too. She liked it much better this time and even smiled and laughed a [...]
We gave Anna her first real food tonight!! (It was mostly Mommy-milk with a bit of rice cereal mixed in, but still…) She had some trouble with the spoon concept, and I’m pretty sure all of the cereal spilled down her chin onto the bib. She should know how to use a spoon, she’s been [...]
Anna is getting good at grabbing things (and inserting them into her mouth). In this video, Ms. Dexterity demonstrates her ability to grab at her friend, Spidermonkey, and chew on his arms. Video: Amazing Dexterity
We survived the big sleep transition week! Aside from the first few days which were very tough, it really wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Anna can now sleep unswaddled (woohoo!!) and once she’s asleep, she seems to sleep much better that way. After a few days of trying out different positions, she apparently [...]
…to be lonely and tired and helpless and frustrated and tired and tired and tired. I don’t want to blog about what’s been going on the past week because it’s frustrating and I don’t really want to open the flood-gates for advice since we’ve been talking with the pediatrician and a few people who we [...]
Well, my long, nearly nap-less day with Miss FussyPants turned into a wonderful evening. She’s been almost rolling over for about a week and a half now, but Daddy has never seen it. So when he got home, I put Anna on her tummy so he could see how she gets everything over except one [...]
