Anna Update 11/6/04

Hello Everyone,

Well we have Anna News. Friday, November 5, 2004 Anna started crawling! She crawled once around 4pm, took a two hour nap and crawled about four to six times after she woke up. She has been scooting for several weeks so she put it all together and presto. It's very cute. Yea Anna!

You can see the video of Anna crawling by clicking here. It will take a couple of minutes to load.

Anna is sitting up for a few moments on her own. After a couple of seconds she will tumble onto her side, back, tummy or nose landing on the nice soft carpet. She can almost bring herself into a sitting position. She will roll onto her hip, plant her arm and is very nearly upright. Go Anna!

Anna is eating more solids. She has oatmeal every day with either a fruit or a vegetable. She has had apples, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots and green peas. She prefers the apple/pear combo, sweet potatoes and green peas. Yum!

Anna will laugh if you say Gak, Gak, Gak or if you stick your nose in her tummy and say "hmmmm". She has a great laugh, a great smile and is true joy. She loves to cuddle, snuggle, grab glasses and a necklace will keep her entertained for many minutes. She loves baby Mozart and her animal videos. There are even parts that she finds funny and will laugh as certain animals parade by.

She is growing beautifully. We just got her hand and foot impressions so we can remember just how little she once was. Anna is terrific and a whole lot of fun.

We hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Love to all,
Alan and Victoria

Anna Crawls!
