43 Weeks Old

Anni is standing like a pro and will inch a tiny bit to one side or the other while standing, but not much else. It'll be a week or so before she's cruising around the furniture I think. She's learned to pick things up with her thumb and first finger now, and feeds herself like a champ. I've got a few darling videos I'll post later.

I think her top teeth are coming in now, she's been fussy and had a runny nose all week. Poor little muffin won't eat well and just seems uncomfortable.

Look at all that hair! It curls quite a bit when she's fresh out of the tub.

Anni is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING and getting into tons of trouble. She thumped her little noggin at great grandma's today and has a little bruise. She loves being mobile, and doesn't sit still for a second. At the moment, she's enjoying her freedom at Grandma Cindee's and pulling the movies off of the dvd rack.

She's learned to wave bye-bye and will do it when someone says it to her. Usually.

She's also learning "no" and will usually stop what she's doing and look at us when we say it.

Annika is pulling herself up to standing fairly regularly and her one top tooth is slowly coming through. She's a lot less miserable from it this week. She's just as busy as ever, and seems to be getting more and more ticklish. She laughs quite a bit more than she used to.The newest thing she's started to do is giving kisses. Granted, her kisses are just her pressing her wide open mouth against your cheek, lips, or nose, but it's really sweet. Sometimes she licks our cheek rather than kissing it, but that's just part of her charm.
