Day 3 - crawly

Anja is all over the place today. She rolls multiple times to get across the blanket, and today when I was trying to take her picture from the side she turned 90 degrees and crawled straight toward me! (for purposes of this post, "crawling" refers to pushing with feet and pulling with hands while dragging belly along the ground)



Today we walked to our voting place for the local primary elections. Even when Anja is squirmy at home she always likes a stroller ride. We walked to the grocery store after that. I'm sure people think our very large stroller is silly, but it's great for running, and bad sidewalks like we have in Lansing, and places where the sidewalk ends. It has such big wheels (20 inches!) and good shocks that she never wakes up, even when the bumps are big. We might drive an SUV stroller for walks but we drive a diesel compact car on the road! By the way, on our last trip to the UP and back we finally broke 50mpg with the Jetta, 50.3mpg for the entire trip! Not baby related, but cool nonetheless.



Last night was more exciting than the night before. She was up at 1:30 and 5:30 and 7:30. Putting her down after feeding her each time was tough because she now likes to roll over right away. The problem with this is that she sometimes gets an arm stuck underneath, or finds herself jammed into the corner and needs to be moved.

She learned yesterday that when you are reading a book to her, she can grab the pages herself. Now she likes to hold the book like this:
