Another new post!

Jay is gone this week for work, so I'm trying to update with lots of pictures and videos, since he will have internet access.

Here's Anja running around with her pirate doll. Until she finds something more interesting.


And here she is trying to sit in her already occupied bunny chair, but she is too tired to figure out the problem.


And some of our newest food adventures. She has shown a lot of interest in the spoon lately, and eating with her fingers. Not bad for a kid who was such a poor eater for so long. She has been a great eater lately. Sometimes she doesn't eat very much, but she never completely refuses to eat anything. Except for maybe the beet greens I tried to give her once. We've tried to give her some of everything we eat too, and so far she loves Chinese and Mexican food, and even ate my mildly spicy veggie chili. I want to get her started on Indian food soon, but we don't have a cheap place around here and that's one food genre I can't seem to conquer at home. We've also started to give her whole milk products, which she loves (imagine yogurt that tastes like ice cream).


Anja has also learned recently that if she brings you a book, you will read it to her. We read 5 or 6 books in a row this morning as she kept bringing me more. And she sits so patiently by herself and flips through books for maybe 20 minutes at a time. It is very very cute.

Thank you, thank you! I feel better now. :) What a wonderful age, exploring everything, learning so much, trying to talk. She's a delight! A joy to love, even from afar.

Oh, you two, aren't so bad either. :)

could you send me a list of the books she already has! Also let me know which are her favorites.... How we miss reading all those books at our house.
