Long time, no blog!

I have been really bad about keeping up with the blog. Like you guys haven't noticed that! We had a great Christmas trip home to Albuquerque to visit family. Anna got to meet her aunts and uncles and cousins. She had a great time meeting everyone--really didn't have much "stranger anxiety" for the most part. She liked playing with her two cousins, Riley and Jacob, who are 5 months older than her. They all played more "near" each other than "with" each other. I'm sure as they get older that will change. Santa was very good to Anna this year. She was needing some more interactive toys (lights, buttons, music, etc.), and she got 'em! She loves them. Playing with toys has reached a new level. She also has one of her top teeth breaking through as of this morning! The other one is not far behind. Watch out Cheerios, here we come! She has been so much fun to watch this past month and a half. She is blossoming every day--discovering things, becoming more mobile, her expressions are PRICELESS, her laugh is so great, and you can just SEE her learning and figuring things out. I'm a little sad that I have to go back to work this week. I've enjoyed having all this time with her. She seems to have lots of fun at day care--and I'm sure she'll enjoy playing with the toys and her friends even more now!
