Anna 9 months

Anna is a very busy, outgoing baby. 

She's been our first explorer and only child to take all the toilet paper off the roll, open and empty out cupboards, wave and talk to everyone who looks her way. 

She generally loves to be around other people. 

We can call her Anna Lyn, Anna Banana, and Leah likes to call her Annie, and, of course, Annie Bananie.

She eats almost everything, and is a pretty good sleeper. 

I think because of her outgoing personality bedtime has been a little harder for her than the other girls. She cried harder and longer than the others did when I decided not to go in and check on her at 3 am. After a few days of lots of tears, she has settled in nicely to sleeping at night.

Anna loves when her Dad gets home and will point and get crazy excited when he rings the doorbell. She also adores Sophie and crawls after her most of the day. 

She likes to sit on Sophie's pillow in front of the window and watch everything going on in the neighborhood.

Gore's Visit

We are always excited to see cousins. The Gores came down for a visit over Spring break, and we had a really good time. 

Easter egg hunt

Games in Grandma and Grandpa Stathis' backyard.

The ever popular swings.

Sasha sharing her piano skills.

The human pyramid was hysterical.

I don't remember what game this one was -- it looks like ring-around-the-rosies -- I'm sure it was something much more fun.
