Anna is growing fonder every day of her activity mat. I'm pretty sure she discovered her reflection in the hanging mirror toy this week, and I don't think it's a coincidence that she's bopped it with her fist a couple of times in an arguably coordinated fashion. Watch out boys - she's got a wicked right cross. She's also been doing her daily strength training, i.e. laying on her stomach to pump up those neck muscles. A head-turner since birth, now she's able to turn her own.
Anna isn't a big fan of her stroller, so we've been trying to take her out for her afternoon walks more in a sling or Baby Bjorn. She looks so comfy snuggled up next to mommy (Editor's Note: despite appearances to the contrary, her leg is actually not as thick as a tree trunk).
Her days wind down with bathtime. Ducky can testify that she's a kindred water-spirit, sitting in her little bath tub like she's lounging at the pool. As you can see, mommy strategically placed a washcloth over Anna in this picture to avoid any further embarassment as a result of her father's lack of photographic discretion.
Hello!
After 5 weeks of home cooking, the urge to splurge on Mexican got the best of us on Saturday. Our first solo outing as a party of 3 to Sabroso was a modest success. It certainly was the quickest meal we've eaten at a restaurant in some time. Very little savoring going on. Patrons around us did report hearing Anna distinctly tell the waiter, "Quiero mas chips y salsa, por favor!"
