Anna's First Word
This morning, before we got up, I put Anna into bed with me where she played with her toes and smiled at the cat. She turned over on her belly and looked at me. I said "Hey!". She smiled and said "Hey!" back. Maybe this was a freak accident, but I like to think that it wasn't. ;)Monday, June 19, 2006
Anna is starting to get up on her knees. Once she's got her butt up in the air, she'll move it back and forth. It looks like she's trying to jump her way forward from that position. And when that doesn't work she'll get frustrated.
She loves the outside and pulling grass out of our lawn especially. For doing that, she can sit up all by herself for quite a while. Finally she falls backwards and lies in the grass, wondering what just happened.

A Rug for the Baby
Anna is getting very mobile lately. So mobile, she rolled herself off her numerous play gyms and mats, hitting her little head on the hard floor. So last week we made a family trip to a carpet wholesale place and got her an 8x11 rug... as you see we are heading towards babyproofing the house now... next project is the fireplace.She turns herself from her back to her belly a lot. She also started doing that in her crib now and even napped on her belly once. Unfortunately, she gets stuck and she whines until someone comes and turns her back over. She also uses her legs to push herself around on the floor, reaching for toys. She'll need some more time to realize that she needs to push herself off the floor with her hands too. It can't be much longer though. Sitting works quite well too, but she falls over when you don't expect it.

Happy 6 months birthday!!!
It is amazing how time flies. Yesterday, Anna was half a year old. We celebrated by going to the pediatrician and afterwards getting a few shots done. Eric came with this time, so he got to hold her little hands down when that meeaan nurse stuck needles into our little precious. We had given her infant Tylenol beforehand and she really did well with it. Only a little bit of screaming and crying. She is now 27.5 inches (70cm) tall, has a 16.5 inch (42 cm) head circumference and weighs 15 pounds and 14 ounces (7200g). That means her head and weight are average at the 50th percentile, while her height is up at the 97th percentile. She's getting longer everyday.Wednesday, June 07, 2006
Monkey Baby
I looove it when my Daddy does monkey stuff with me. My favorites are upside down baby and flying. Maybe when I'm in Germany with my Mama, Opa can take me bungee jumping. He cannot sit still, just like me.Monkey Baby

Can I have a hug?
Common! Someone give me a hug. You can have a sloppy kiss in return.
Daddy likes to blow raspberries on my belly. That makes me laugh. Hihi.
