Anna’s been doing really well lately. We’re seeing her use her left hand more and more each day, and the girl is really starting to think about walking. She can already stand by herself for as much as 10 seconds at a time! Her growing vocabulary includes such favorites as dog (“dahg”), cat (“at”), ball (“ba”), balloon (“ba”), up (“bap”), mom (“mama”) and dad (“ba”). (Context is key here, obviously).

Most importantly, she’s been generally healthy (knock on wood!) and happy. Or as happy as anyone cutting as many new teeth as she is can be.

Note: I’ve changed the way the photos on the sidebar work. First, there are more of them, and clicking on them should now take you directly to our Flickr site where you can view all our photos in different galleries and sizes. Whee!
