i’m not smart enough to embed this video of anna into this post, so until i figure that out (or derek figures it out for me), you’ll have to click this link to see the girl stand all by herself for 10 seconds or so… the stander.
anna
lucky number seven.
the girl is seven months old on this day. she turned seven months way faster than isaac did. it’s flying by so fast. she’s super cute and fun these days. i love watching her face light up when she sees isaac. she can hear him when he comes down the stairs in the morning and […]
mobility
well, the anna baby is 100% mobile. she was utilizing a combo belly crawl and inch worm technique for a week or so, but has developed a nice little rhythmic crawl. an efficient one. shortly after mastering (slightly obtaining?) this skill, she moved on to pulling up. onto everything. which has increased the occurrences of […]
a-n-n-a flannel letters
made these awhile back to hang in the anna baby’s room. i had been on the search for some letters for her name, but couldn’t decide what i wanted to do. i saw a tutorial for a whole alphabet of these letters that i had filed away for a rainy day. then it hit me… […]
anna baby’s quilt
yesterday was my birthday. isaac finally went to school in the morning (after a week off from illness). and anna slept for 2.5 straight hours yesterday morning. glorious. anyhow, it freed me up to make some really great progress on her quilt. enough that i was compelled to stay up late last night and finish […]
0.5 years! (and one day)

halloween, part two. (the nerd).
as once promised, here are some additional halloween pictures. i did a terrible job of capturing the festivities via digital camera, but thankfully jude was on the scene with her fancy pants camera. she captured some shots of the oldest lid kid, dressed up in his nerd costume which i had NONE of. and a […]
making baby thingz
in an effort to keep from losing approximately 3 pacifiers per week, i decided it was time to invest in a clip attaching anna’s pacifier to her (tiny little) person. well, the choices were not aplenty, so i decided i would make my own. and here it is…. we have also been in need of […]
single girl quilt top
quite a while back, i got the terrific idea to make a denyse schmidt single girl quilt for the anna baby. ten minutes here, an hour there… and a nice long stretch of time today… and i have completed the 16 blocks, making 4 rings, each with 31 pieces of brightly colored fabric and a […]
