Just The Girls this week

Jay just left for a conference in Milwaukee, so it's just me, Blue and Anja for the week. I will be posting daily updates and pictures for Jay so stay tuned!

This past week we had a great time up north with family. Anja is the youngest of 5 cousins and it was fun for everyone to be together for the first time. Anja also met several more Great Aunts and Great Uncles. Here she is in her role as "Eco Baby", on the new blanket from Lois and Ken: made from recycled and organic materials, ordered from NPR (not pictured are her new books, "Eco Babies wear green" and "Adventures of Michael Recycle":

Here is Anja with her cousin Kai, closest in age to her:

And here she is at Perch Lake Camp for the first time:

Anja has been very active lately. She has started rolling over from stomach to back again, and has even rolled both directions now. She is also getting better at grabbing toys that she wants. She still likes being held up so she can "walk". Yesterday while on her stomach she pushed herself up high enough to raise her elbows off the ground. But here is a picture of how she usually tries to crawl:

This isn't very efficient, but several repetitions of this can scoot her across the blanket.
