First Crawl

Here's a clip of Anna crawling for the first time. It happened a couple weeks ago during "diaper free time" when I think she was feeling a little less encumbered.

Thanksgiving

Wow, so much to talk about! The past couple weeks have been very eventful. First, Anna started crawling a few days before Thanksgiving - finally! [video to follow as soon as I figure out how to edit on our new computer] Her first attempts were kind of shaky but she's now crawling around the house and exploring like an old pro.

We celebrated Anna's first Thanksgiving here at our house with Grandma J, Jack, Emily, and Ben. Anna loved all the attention from Grandma J and was happy to show off her new crawling skills! Here are a couple pictures:



A few days after Grandma J went home we hopped on a plane for Casey's wedding in East Lansing (one of Todd's buddies from high school). Anna did really well on the plane rides but didn't sleep very much so Todd and I were busy keeping her entertained. We stayed with the McKay's whose two little girls, Georgia and Ruby, were gracious enough to share all of their fun "big girl" toys. Anna loved watching the girls! I can't wait until she's a little bit older and can interact with them more. Sadly, we didn't take a single picture while were there but we did take home some fun memories.

Anna's nine month check-up was yesterday. She's in perfect health and is now a little over 21 lbs and 29 inches tall. Her top two teeth are just visible beneath the surface so I'm sure they'll be popping through any day now.
