Anna can hold on!

Anna can hold on to objects and can reach and grab objects in front of her. It's so cool. She is also becoming much more aware. Her naps are shorter, noises now wake her and she likes being around people she knows. She likes touching people. She is still rolling over like a pro. She smiles and laughs. And, she has a sense of humor. Last night a high-five between Alan and Sara just cracked Anna up. Oh, she's holding onto her toes and learning that they are part of her body. That's pretty cute too. Love to all, Alan and Victoria

Anna rolls back to front and now front to back

Anna is a wonder! Just five days after she rolled from her back to her tummy, she rolled from her tummy to her back. Go Anna! It is amazing to watch her working so hard.

What else can I tell you about Anna? She can grab on to objects and clothing. She will track someone across the room. She has a beautiful smile. She laughs. She is a warm, happy and smart baby. She is cuddly and fun to be around. She hums and coos. She has a beautiful voice. She sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. She has big eyes and lots of expressions. She is cute all the time. She gives us joy.

Love to all,
Alan, Victoria, Sara and Anna

Anna rolled over! Sara is swimming!

Wow. Go Anna! Today, July 18th Anna rolled over onto her tummy. She first rolled on her side to the right, then to the left, then to the right and then over! It was so exciting. We got pictures and video. She did it three times in a row. Hooray.

Sara is reaching her own amazing milestones. She is now writing every letter of the alphabet. The letters are quite legible. Writing words appears to be right around the corner. She is taking ballet, tap and jazz class, swimming and gymnastics over the summer. After just four swim classes, Sara is swimming. She just jumped off the diving board. Go Sara!

Grandma and Grandpa are visiting. They are really enjoying the kids and the kids are really enjoying them. We are so happy to have them here.

Alan's new job is going very well and Victoria is really enjoying the part-time work she just took on. Life is busy, but oh, so good.

Love to all,
Victoria, Alan, Sara and Anna
