First Tooth

Well we had an exciting weekend as Anna's first tooth appeared Saturday evening. We had been out to lunch in Carborro. It was a beautiful sunny day and we sat outside to eat lunch. Anna was trying a bunch of new foods, including some tater tots off Daddy's lunch plate. We then strolled around a bit and Daddy took a bunch of pictures of Anna and Mommy that you can see below.



When we got home Anna was a bit cranky and when Mommy checked, she felt the first tooth breaking through. By Tuesday the second bottom tooth had appeared. Anna's been understandably a bit uncomfortable.

Anna has been eating a lot of new food lately and now sits at the big kids table at daycare to eat her lunch and snacks. She's been picking up her food and feeding it to herself very well! So far she's tried peas, green been, carrots, puffs, crackers, bread, banana, the aforementioned tater tots, and ravioli. Anna's teacher reported she was also trying to get to her friend's chicken and rice at the table. I think we'll wait a week before trying that ;-)

Gram's Visit

Well Grams visited us in NC last weekend. Anna was so excited when she woke up Thursday morning to Grams smiling at her! Grams and Anna spent a lot of time playing and cuddling. You can see from the photos below how much fun they had! Anna was showing off and got up on all fours. I think she will be crawling soon. She sure was trying hard this weekend!

Jon, Deb and the boys came over for a visit as well. Anna has really taken a liking to Tyler. He is so good with her and she is really drawn to him. It's really cute!

Grams even gave Bryan and me a chance for a date night on Saturday. We had a good time, but were home early on account of Anna's new trend of early morning awakenings.

Unfortunately, Grams got pretty sick as the weekend progressed. She has a very bad sinus infection/flu and flying home was no fun for her (and besides, leaving Anna is never easy for Grams!) Luckily we will all be in Buffalo soon for Easter weekend and will see everyone again!

Waiting for Grams

Well we are all excited as Grams is coming to visit tomorrow. Anna gets to stay home from daycare and hang out all day with Grams getting all the attention and love possible! We will also be celebrating Grams birthday this week (it was this past Sunday). We should have plenty of new video and pictures from her visit to post soon.

Here is a few recent bathtime fun pictures:


Here are a few more pictures. These are of Anna in a cute white sweater from Lindsay (doesn't she have great taste :-) Anna is also seen sitting in the rocking chair from Grams and Grandpa Maglich cuddling with her white teddybear. She has really been loving her rocking chair lately. I think she feels like a big girl sitting in it on her own (or with Mr. Bear).

Early spring

We in North Carolina have been enjoying some incredibly warm weather, with the last couple of days in the upper 70s. We've all been taking a lot of walks and playing in the garden. Unfortunatley Anna, along with every other child in her daycare room, has had a perpetual runny nose. She's still in good spirits though. Anna has been getting even more active. She is getting in to everything lately, always wanting whatever Mommy or Daddy has. Grams (Maglich) comes next week. She's going to be so shocked to see how different Anna is. Both Anna and Grams are so excited about the visit (so is Mommy!) I have some photos from last month that I'm just getting to uploading that show Anna playing with a bunch of her new Christmas presents. Thanks to Aunt Jude, Aunt Norma, and Aunt Jer :-) Here's another couple of pictures of Anna this past week. The ones with her playing with Jesse are some of my favorites. Below is a video I took 2 days ago. Anna is having a great time playing with her Daddy and her dog Jesse. I think even Bry has softened to the dog a bit as he sees how much Anna adores him.
Lastly, here's a video of Anna doing her most recent favorite thing, blowing "razzberries." This was cute at the beginning, but has become less so, especially when she does it while she has a mouth full of sweet potatoes.
