9 months!

Anya is 9 months old now and is closer to walking than to actually crawling. Right now she can get to anywhere she wants by rolling, scooting, and spinning, but she just doesn't want to crawl bad enough. She is able to stand by herself next to furniture and has even taken a couple of little steps (while hanging on) to get a remote. I just bought her a little shopping cart and she pushed it forward and then took two little steps to catch up to it. We changed her schedule around a little bit with the help of Kelley and she is sleeping through the night consistently now! That is so awesome! Tomorrow I take her in for her 9 month shots and check up so I'll see how much she weighs and all that. That's it for now!

Happy Easter!

Anya started clapping for the first time yesterday! She laughs and will clap when you do. It's super cute! Today she wore the cutest Easter dress and hat and was very good in church-like always. She ate smushed up ham, potatoes, green bean casserole, and fruit salad. It was a very nice day-we had Great Grandma Bev, Grandma Kathy, Grandma Mary Jo, Grandpa Dave, Uncle Jeff, Uncle Paul, Auntie Kristin, and Cousin Gabriel over for Easter dinner. Everything was great!

8 months

I just wanted to update on some of the new things Anya has been doing. She can now completely sit herself up from laying down. She has gotten up on her hands and knees and rocked back and forth-so hopefully she will be crawling soon. Her bottom right tooth finally poked through the gums. It looks like the two bottom teeth will be coming in at the same time. Her new thing is to go bbbbbbbhhhhhh (you know where you blow and your lips vibrate?) She still says dadda daddy a ton! she's in 12-18 month clothes now- we are done with the footie pj's-her feet just won't fit! so she's got big girl pj's the soft and silky pants and shirt. very cute. Last night she slept from 8:30 until Dan woke her up to feed her at 5:45. so nice! Well, I think that's all for now.
