First Haircut
I love Anna’s hair, but she was sporting a little baby mullet because she never lost all of her original hair in the back, it’s just been growing non-stop since she was born. There were long bits that when wet and straight would hang halfway down her back, but only a few curls were long [...]

Walking
Anna is officially a toddler now! We were at the calling hours for my great grandmother, and she kept pulling up, walking five or six steps, plopping back down, crawling to the nearest thing or person she could pull up on, and repeating the sequence.
She charmed the pants off of everyone there, and added a [...]

First (Baby) Steps
Our anniversary sale is going on this week, so we packed up the kids and all went to the shop so I could be there all day - Anna’s still nursing a few times a day, so I can’t really leave her for an entire Saturday.
While Denis and the girls were hanging out on the [...]

Pool Season
Anna had her first dip in the pool today. A rather chilly dip, as we haven’t put the solar cover on and it’s really been rather mild so far this summer, but she seemed to enjoy it.
Carrie discovered that she can stand on her tip-toes in the shallow end and have the water only come [...]

Baby’s First Toothbrush
Now that she has two teeth, it’s time to start introducing Anna to the wonders of toothbrushing. Carrie was so excited about Anna getting to brush her teeth that she wanted to be the first one to do it.
So she was.
Anna really likes this new chewy thing…

A Tooth!
Anna has her first tooth today! For the past few days, I’ve been certain she was teething, and I kept sticking my finger in her mouth to check, but only found bumps on her bottom gum.
Today, I found a tooth! Her bottom right central incisor, to be exact.
Maybe tonight Anna will remember how to sleep [...]

Happy Easter!
Well, aside from the snow first thing this morning (in mid April?!?) we had a great day, which involved church, egg hunts, kite flying, family and food!

Anna’s First Valentine’s Day!
(I’m aware that it’s technically the day after Valentine’s Day…)
Yes, that is a shirt with a sheep that says “I (heart) ewe”. A Christmas gift from Uncle Dan and Aunt Genevra. Though I would totally have bought it myself if I had seen it! After all, that’s what mommy knitters do!
Would you [...]

And The Verdict Is…
It tastes as good as it looks!
We were going to wait another couple of weeks to start Anna on solid food, but she was going to take matters into her own hands - quite literally - if we didn’t start feeding her. Any time I hold her on my lap while I eat she [...]

Anna’s First Christmas & Christmas Wrap-Up
Anna was, I think, the perfect age for a first Christmas. Not quite mobile enough to get into everything yet, but interested and engaged and awed by the lights, the colorful wrapping paper, and the fabulous new toys she could put in her mouth. She’s just thrilled beyond words to be able to [...]
