Anja wants to talk

But she doesn't know how to yet. She does sometimes try to babble. The first morning after we stayed in the cabin at Leelenau State Park this past weekend she was talking in an urgent whisper, it was really funny. Here's a picture of her doing it:

I really love these dinosaur pj's, I'm a little sad that she has outgrown them now. Her wrists are really stretching out the cuffs. But they're just so cute!

We had a four month checkup today. We switched doctors and now I'm much happier. We are now going to a father/daughter DO practice, in fact they are the husband and daughter of one of our midwives. Anja is 13lb 13.5 oz and just under 25inches long. Still long and thin: 59% for weight and 82% for height.

Check out Jay in his wedding attire from this weekend:

And here is Anja in her cute wedding outfit. With her foot. In her mouth.

As you can see we've clearly entered the "everything she can grab goes into her mouth stage." Or at least in the general direction of her mouth, sometimes she just mashes her toys into her face while her mouth is open.

In a couple of hours we're off to the Traverse City area for Heidi and Justin's wedding. Can't wait! The ceremony is at a lighthouse 400' from our cabin at Leelanau State Park.

"Tug of Nuk" is not a game

But Jay and Anja think it is:
