Big Picture Update - February!

Here's a big pile of pictures documenting Anna's sixth month ... she's getting so big (she's grown THREE inches since her four-month appointment!) but is still a little peanut (only weighing in at fourteen pounds and ten ounces). She's waving in three different ways - the open-and-closed fist, the arm flap, and the Miss America side-to-side - and greets me with at least one kind when I pick her up from day care each day. She can roll to get to whatever she wants (scary!) and is getting more and more independent with sitting on her own. She's also getting extremely vocal stringing together da-da's and blah-blah's (and blowing lots of raspberries) ... she's quite the singer, reader, and entertainer (wonder where she gets that from?!?!).

Here she is reading Valentine's cards from Grandma Patty and Aunt Jess:

Reading a Valentine's book with Daddy (thanks, Chad and Allison!).

Thanks for the cute bows, Mom ;-)

Helping Mommy cook dinner:

Getting curious about the camera:

I love this sweet grinning girl!

Thanks, Nis for this great Sesame Street toy. Funny story - the first time I put Anna under it, she screamed when the Elmo popped out and yelled, "Peekaboo, baby!" Like, she SCREAMED ... in holy terror. So I waited a few months until she could sit in front of it and play ... success! She loved it! Thanks for the fun gift!

We've finally had some nice days to get out and walk ... makes me excited for summer!

Goofy faces:

At the beginning of another walk:

And at the end:

Snoozing for a few minutes while Mommy got ready last week:

Lots of good play time with Daddy after his trip to St. Louis last week:

This last one makes me laugh - not only was her pacifier halfway out, but it was upside down. Anna was pooped after a busy day!

I'll try to be better about posting pictures more frequently ... it's been a busy month ;-)
