Best friend

Anna's best friend is the ceiling fan (Ventilator). In this pic they are having a very intense conversation.

Sunday fun at Townlake

Flying and playing with Daddy

hanging out in the grass and finally sleeping

First roll from back to tummy

While at work today I got a call from Nathan saying that Anna had rolled from her back to her stomach. He came back into the living room and found her "stranded" on her belly. She can't roll from stomach to back yet and is not that coordinated with her limbs - just look at her arm stuck behind! She has been practising the last few days but I didn't think it would happen so quickly. Smart child - didn't let anybody witness her big milestone!



"Daddy, quit playing with the camera and come help me!"

More hiking

On Sunday we went to Hamilton Pool. It was a beautiful day but not quite yet warm enough for swimming. This was actually quite a bit more hiking than the week before - and our picnic was more proper.

In order to get to your picnic rock, we had to climb a bit. Anna too..

But we made it.

Walking makes tired!

First time hiking

This week went hiking with Anna for the first time. I guess it was not a reeaal hike in the mountains, but a start. We went into the Austin Greenbelt and had a little picnic. Anna had to keep her head up for probably 45min in each direction (she doesn't like facing toward the chest but want to see) and just started getting impatient towards the end.

Daddy bought her her first hat (H&M Chicago). It's still a bit large though...

Anna really had fun outside. She loves talking to the trees and makes funny noises. Where did she get this tree fascination from???

First time not the little girl anymore

Today I went to see the neighbor's new baby girl. Though Anna is constantly changing and learning that made me realize that Anna is not a tiny baby anymore. Anna still is a small baby (25 percentile) but she looked like a GIANT next to the 7-day old baby.

Sitting up

Anna likes to sit up - being held up. The Bumbo (foam seat with high back) allows her to participate and learn how she will be able to help out Mommy in the future!
