More fun pictures

Anya has fun playing with her cousin Gabriel and they both LOVE reading with grandpa. The other pictures are just of Anya being cute. I was FINALLY able to get her hair up into a pony tail! It was so funny sticking up about 3 inches off the top of her head! Anya is really talking a lot now. She tries to repeat just about anything you tell her. The other day she said "teacher" and "duck" because they were pages of one of her favorite books "Brown Bear Brown Bear" . She is getting really good at her shape ball. she can turn the ball around until the right shape hole lines up with the shape she is holding and then she gets it in! I used to have to move the ball to the right spot, but now she does it on her own. She is just so much fun.

Picking out the Christmas Tree

Yesterday Anya and I went with Grandma and Grandpa Seppala, Auntie Kristin, and cousin Gabriel and Hannah to pick out the Christmas tree. Anya and Gabriel had a blast running through the trees. Anya also watched as grandpa cut the tree down. She made sure it was a good one.

November

Anya loves reading books and her new thing is to take her teddy bear and a good book and sit in her rocking chair. She loves getting in and out of things like her rocking chair and cradle that grandpa Roger made her. She has also discovered a fun place that's just the right size for a finger! Funny girl.

Oct/Nov

We have been going to big kid walks lately. No more stroller, she actually gets to walk down the street and watch the ducks at the pond. She is just so much fun right now

Dress up time

Anya played dress up last night. I tried on what will be her halloween costume. Super cute. Some new things: she has her 4th tooth, is obsessed with her bellybutton and anyone elses that she can find by lifting up their shirts (watch out!) She also will point to your eye and say "eye". "stop it" is also on her list of words and she tells Aebo that quite a bit.

new pictures!

Anya and her cousins went to a farm in Andover today to take some fall/winter pictures. It snowed this morning! She saw ponies, pigs, cows, and goats for the first time today. It was really cold today even though the pictures look sunny. Her new thing now is that she loves rocking horses. She can get on them and rock herself it is so funny!

October update

Anya is finally getting more teeth! She got her 3rd tooth about a month ago and now she is getting in her 4th. Two on top and two on bottom. I just wanted to put up a few pictures of her. Her hair is getting a lot longer now with a ton of curl in the back. The bangs in the front really don't curl, but everything else does. I cut her bangs just a little so that they didn't hang in her eyes. She is definitely starting to try to talk more. She tries to repeat some of the words we say. (she is really good at saying no). Oh, she can get into the pantry and get herself a snack of crackers and while I was typing this she reached up on the island and grabbed some graham crackers off. How can she reach that! Wow, now there is a whole new world of things we need to watch out for! She is just so much fun to watch and to see what she can do and learn. What a fun age!
