1st Haircut








As you can see, somebody got her first haircut last week at a professional salon. I wasn't present, but it went well. It doesn't look much different, but we decided to keep it short while she is so messy. Somehow when eating breakfast, it is nearly impossible to finish a bagel & cream cheese without getting it in your hair(front, top and behind the ears). Anna is still working on walking steadily. She gets up on her own and moves quickly around furniture but she has not mastered the art of deceleration. Every step she takes increases to the point of running, then crashing. It won't be long. We have now taken Anna to dinner twice to our favorite Mexican restaurant, as long as she has food she is quite happy and has yet to create a screen which might require a sudden exit. Kim and Anna go to the pool frequently and she loves the water. We have to drag her out of the tub. Amazing considering the first few weeks we had her, she would scream like a maniac whenever we tried to give her a bath. Kim seems to enjoying her time with Anna and Nina and I am enjoying having no household responsibilities since Kim is home all day. I have put a special thank you out there to Marylin for teaching Anna to throw rocks a few weeks ago. Not only is she getting really good a rocks, but she seems to have decided that throwing everything else is just as fun(her sippy cup, wooden puzzle pieces, dinner plate and Nina's ball's) I feel bad for Nina, she loves to chase the balls, but Anna's accuracy is a little off. Nina has taken a few shots in the forehead and on the nose with the hard plastic balls. Nina's reflex's have improved tremendously over the last two weeks. I am off to the Virgin Mobile Rock Festival at Pimlico Park this Saturday with AJ, we are special guests of the Foo Fighters so no blogging this weekend. I should have some exciting stories from the mosh pit.

Ok, I want to hear the mosh pit stories.
But first, SUCH cute pictures! I keep seeing the cutest photos of Anna on my screensaver, as her photos come up, and I miss you all..

Tell Nina that Abby sympathizes. Abby is also having things thrown at her.. Kajsa doesn't throw Abby's ball yet, but she does throw food, toys, books, sippy cups.... so Abby understands. Sigh. And yet she loves her Kajsa, too.
Peace, Cathy
