Another month has gone by, and another year. Wow, it’s Anya’s second year! I hope she remembers to start writing 2008 when she signs her checks. She:
+ Has tasted avocado, broccoli, cheerios, pickles, gingerbread, oatmeal, banana, biscuit, and green beans. I can’t really say if she actually ate any of these things, but she hast tasted them. Her favorite appears to be pickles.
+ Is sleeping through the night more often.
+ Went to her first party.
+ Talks like a Mogwai. We can no longer feed her after midnight. Among her new words are: hallelujah, poopoo, doodoo, dadadadadada, i love you, gagagagagaga, and diediedie.
+ Sighed at me with exasperation. I believe I was putting toys on her head.
+ Experienced her first Christmas.
+ Gets angry / frustrated when she can’t reach what she wants. (And according to DCP, she steals toys from the other baby and scoots away so the other baby can’t reach the toy, and then the other baby yells at her, and she just sits there and chews on the toy and cackles.)
+ Has a pincer grip that would make a baby lobster proud.
+ Has been doing lots of crunches to get her abs of steel shiny.
+ Continues to work on crawling.
+ Finally outgrew her 3-6 month clothes (Maybe she outgrew them a while ago and was just scrunching her feet into them. I don’t know.)
+ Met her half-brother.
Edited to add:
+ Got her first tooth! (I can’t believe I forgot to write that! It’s so sharp and pointy!)
Whee! Anya update. Catie saw her picture and immediately started in on the tale of her visit to Virginia. I see she takes after me in the story telling business. *cough*
I applaud Anya’s abilities, especially her advances in talking, sighing and evil cackling. 😉
I applaud her love of pickles. Anyone who loves pickles is okay in my book!
Yes! Pickles are good, but only if they are dill.
She does like dill, but she is also fond of the bread and butter pickles we made a few years ago. She likes them ’cause they are in big, thin slices that she can stick on her thumb.
