What a wonderful, fun, happy little Anna we have! She is a joy to be with. This month got to spend lots of quality time at Glenbrook with her Smuesby family where we discovered that Anna loves the water at the beach (and has no fear). And (thank goodness) her mother managed to take more photos. She is pretty cute in her photos. I had a hard time choosing.

Anna spent most of the day with Gramma and Zeke. Zeke actually got Anna to go back to sleep after she woke up in her nap. That has to be a first!

Anna may be headed to one nap land sooner than expected.

Anna is cruising! She can jet around on her little feet as long as someone is holding her hands.
Wed, Jun 23, 2010
Anna's hair is actually starting to fluff out a bit in places. Just not everywhere.
Thu, Jun 24, 2010
Anna has a runny nose and is waking up earlier and earlier. I think teeth though don't see any peeking through.

Anna was quite sad today. She is not doing well with this tooth (which continues to refuse to make an actual appearance but which is clearly bothering her.)

Anna spent the day at Brady's birthday party in the city hanging out with "Brady's Blake" aka Baby Drew. She was a very good sport despite only a brief nap in the stroller. She does NOT like tart yogurt.

Anna loves, loves, loves to play outside crawling all over the grass and in and out of the tent. She can entertain herself for a very long time much to her mother's massive appreciation.

Anna is still waking up at 4, maybe in pain due to teeth? Hard to tell. Requires a bottle to back to sleep. Argh. How do I keep getting myself in this situation?
Tue, Jun 29, 2010
Anna has many tricks now, and nearly all involve her hands - she waves with her whole arm, can high-five, can clap, can hug (mommy's favorite) and sings along when we go up the wooden hill.

Anna is potentially dropping her morning nap but then surprises us. She is truly not a regular sleeper. Her schedule remains a mystery…
Thu, Jul 01, 2010
Anna arrived in Glenbrook late last night and promptly decided to give up sleeping. Much to everyone else's discomfort at 4:20 in the morning.
Fri, Jul 02, 2010
Anna is completely done with eating mushed up food. She won't put anything in her mouth that comes on a spoon, even when she is very hungry!
Sat, Jul 03, 2010
Anna is not scared of the water! She crawled right in to the creek and played along with her big sister despite the fact that it was absolutely freezing. She also likes to eat the sand and would have consumed several rocks had she had her way.

Anna enjoyed the annual Glenbrook 4th of July golf cart extravaganza, watching happily from the baby backpack on Daddy's back while he rode through the parade. It looked a bit precarious but they both seemed to enjoy the experience.

Anna had her first ride in the kid carrier on the back of dad's bike on a family expedition to the grocery store. No surprises - she hated her helmet, she loved it when dad went fast.
Tue, Jul 06, 2010
Anna slept late this morning, all the way to 7:50 (when she had to be woken up.) This was actually her morning nap as she woke up at 5 and demanded a bottle until 5:45 when her mother finally got out of bed and fetched one for her…
Wed, Jul 07, 2010
Anna engages in a nightly wrestling match post-bath, pre-bottle. She is NOT easy to get in her pjs!
Thu, Jul 08, 2010
Anna's big sis has the ability to make Anna laugh hysterically. It is infectious!
Fri, Jul 09, 2010
Anna has now officially "slept late" this entire week! She is still waking up for her bottle but later and later and then went back to sleep. Dave and I have been enjoying the change immensely!
Sat, Jul 10, 2010
Anna climbed all the way up the stairs today, singing and grunting and generally celebrating her success the whole way up. She nearly did a victory dance when she got to the top!
Sun, Jul 11, 2010
Anna went hiking on Mount Tam today with Daddy, Mommy, SJ, Aunt Kiki, Uncle Geoff and Cousin Blake. She rode in the Ergo all the way up and sang most of the way. She ate pancakes at the top and then slept most of the way down. Very nice morning!
Mon, Jul 12, 2010
Anna's second tooth popped out today! Which explains her 3.5 hour temper tantrum yesterday night.
Tue, Jul 13, 2010
Anna is our bambam - her favorite activity is climbing into her bouncy chair, knees down and riding it like a horse holding on to the top and yelling. When she's not doing that she's sprinting for the stairs. When she's not doing that she standing up and trying to climb up whatever flat surface is in her way.
Thu, Jul 15, 2010
Anna is moving into new clothes. She is now wearing size 18-24 months. Not small.
Fri, Jul 16, 2010
Anna drove up to Tahoe tonight with her Mama and her Aunt Whitney. She was very cheerful and easy in the car and then went right to sleep when we got there at around midnight - good job Anna!
Sat, Jul 17, 2010
Anna is such a brave and fun little girl - she loves the beach and thinks playing in the water is lots and lots of fun. She also likes sitting in her little green chair with all the other folks sitting in their chairs.

Anna celebrated Gramma's 60th birthday with her GG and all her Smuesby Aunts and Uncle.

Anna had to learn how to fall asleep last night without a bottle. It took her about 30 minutes. Poor Anna.
