Myyyy remote control

Anna is starting to get very interested in things that she cannot do anything with, but she's seen me use them. Here's my couch potato:


And hitting the keyboard.

Uncle Jerry was here

Yesterday we had a visitor. Uncle Jerry came from DC for the sole purpose of visiting meeee. Uncle Jerry and Daddy used to work together in Virginia. He has funny stuff growing in his face. Mama called them stubbles. I couldn't stop touching them, they felt so cool. Too bad Daddy doesn't have many.. uhm.. stubbles.

Watch Daddy feed me some cereal. Mama gave me a spoon too, so I could help him. Daddies need all the help they can get, you know.

Nothin' much going on around here. Mama has me eating mashed bananas every morning now, I'm really starting to think they're quite tasty, so tasty, I wanted seconds this morning. Mama's been trying to cheat me into eating strained peas too. Yuck!! Every once in a while, when I wasn't watching, she'd sneak a spoon of peas inbetween the bananas.

I like to climb around on both of my parents and chew on their chins. They say I should focus my energy on properly learning how to roll over instead. I keep trying, but my stupid arm's in the way.

I really don't feel like sitting in my bouncy chair anymore. That toy is for babies. Mama caught me doing this, I hope she got the hint that I'm a big girl now. Get me some big girl toys, Mama!

Today

Today was our wedding anniversary. I cannot believe it has already been two years. Well, Eric is on the nightshift, so we celebrated by going out for breakfast and catching a matinee movie at the theater, after having dropped Anna off at a friend's house. I doubt she would have liked "An American Haunting". I'm not sure whether I did, either. It was very scary, but if anyone can fill me in regarding what the ending means, I'd be grateful... (How and why did John Bell curse himself?!) Eric was kind of falling asleep towards the end, so he can't tell me.
Anyway, this was the first movie we've seen on the big screen since November, which made it enjoyable regardless.

My feet and I

Mama took me to baby massage again on Thursday. This time round, none of us really got massages. We were playing and our moms were chatting away. I've figgured out how to keep Mama from putting clothes on me, cause I really prefer being naked (stupid diaper, take it off, will ya!). Naked is the way to be. I just hold on to my feet and don't let go... good luck getting me back into my onesie.

Look how much fun Miles, Quinn and I had. Ben and Logan were there too (Logan must have heard from the other boys that I like to hold hands and wanted to check it out himself), just not in the pictures.






And this is me at night night time in my crib. My friends tiger ducky and the one and only Betthaeschen (bed bunny) are there too. When Mama took this picture, she didn't know that I had other plans for the early morning hours. I thought it would be more fun to practice my foot-holding techniques and rolling on to my side in her bed for three hours. Let me tell you, my annoyed "emmmm-emmmm" noise gets me what I want. Daddy came home from work at 1 am and from 3am on I got to hang out with him on the couch, till we both crashed out. Only thing missing was popcorn and a new Baby Einstein movie. It was great fun, hopefully we can do it again some time. How 'bout it, Daddy? I don't know why Mama looks so tired this morning, maybe she hasn't had enough coffee.

My cute little head

Mama says she is getting a little worried about my head shape (cause she's slightly paranoid by nature but pssst). In her internet forum there was talk about babies wearing helmets to make their little heads all nice and round again. I just like to sleep on the right side of my head sooo much... She's changed the crib bumper around so I can see the door from both sides of my crib now. She thinks she can trick me that way into turning my head and I know she keeps checking on me while I sleep. She says that if I don't start sleeping on the other side of my head anytime soon she'll rearrange my room and put the crib somewhere else. I don't think my head's so bad, what do you think? Opa says I'll grow hair over the uneven spots.

Anna the Stepstool

Mama took me to our Thursdays group again. I have gained 9 ounces :( I guess that's it with my supermodel plans now, but it made Mama happy. Anyway, I had a looot of fun crawling around with Miles and Chloe... well, Chloe was crawling, Miles was scooting and I was being used as a stepstool. But don't worry, I'm working on my rolling over skills. I'm just such a perfectionist, I will not do it until I know it's perfect.





























I also had a great time on Wednesday at baby massage. Miles' mommy took great pictures of all of us there. She gave us a copy of a real good one. I'll have to frame it and put it over my crib.

Anna and I booked flights to go to Germany. We will be there from July 11 until August 29. I look forward to taking her home... apart from the flight, I don't look forward to that at all. The return flight will probably be worse, since I'll have to pick our bags off the conveyor belt between flights.... with a small child in tow. Wooohoooo!

My Pool

My Mama went out to get me a tiny baby pool. It came with a bunch of colorful balls. I had to try it out right away. So where is the water, mother??


I don't remember what exactly Daddy did to me, but it must have been horrible. I think he said something like "night night time, Anna". I don't DO night night time, doesn't he know. And how dare Mama take pictures of this scene.



This is a wonderful shot of Nermal. He owns our house (we're only allowed to live here for his entertainment and company) and our souls.
