Morning Play Time!

This week Anna is starting to pull herself up--mostly on Mommy or Daddy. She is very proud of herself when she gets to a standing position! We also think she's close to getting her first tooth. She's been pretty miserable a couple of days this week--biting on everything and loving her cold teething rings. We added carrots to her repertoire of foods last week--she liked them very much. This week is pears. Her favorites are still sweet potatoes and squash, however. She has a new little friend at "school" this week--Amber. Amber is a couple of months younger than Anna, so she is no longer the "baby" at school. Amber wears bow wraps around her head, and Anna looks at them as if she's plotting the day she'll crawl over and take it off of Amber's head. Of course, Anna thinks everything must go into her mouth now, so I'm sure that's why the bows on Amber's head are so interesting--they are something she has not yet been able to taste. Anna's favorite friend at school is still Ross. He's a couple of months older than Anna, so he can show her how to move around a little more than Amber can. They sit on the floor and play together. Ross isn't crawling yet, but I'm sure that when he does, Anna will be even more motivated to get going herself! She is starting to pull herself forward on her tummy--just in the past couple of days. She can also go to all fours from sitting and then back to sitting again. We think she leared this from Ross. The teachers at her school all say that Anna is much older than her age--so much personality and great communication skills already! We can't believe she'll be 7 months old next weekend!
