Boppin' to the tunes

She loves to sit by this little song thing on the side of the washing machine and push the button to play the different songs over and over again. I hope she has her father's sense of rhythm. So far so good, I think?

Taming the monster kitty

Anna has somehow consipired with Pocheen, our formerly evil cat, and they are now friends. Pocheen lets her pull her tail, laugh loudly in her face, bang on her back, pull her hair... and has not (yet) given her a swipe. I know it'll happen eventually, but I'm shocked every time I look over and Anna has a handful of Pocheen's fur, and Pocheen is just looking at me wistfully, remembering the days before this little hellion arrived.

I wanna play COMPUTER

Determined, to say the least... she always wants to play with the computer. I especially like the laughing she does now whenever she's headed somewhere.

Button pushing

On, off. On, off. On, off.

Walking girl

Anna's been doing this level of walking for about a month now, that teetering, careful stepping... here's 10 steps caught on film, finally.

How big is Anna? 8/20/06

So big! This is a new trick that the west coast Chanoffs taught Anna when we were on LBI.

Aili and Annie bop with their dads on LBI 8/18/06

Anna shows Olli and Lexy's daughter Aili how she dances. She also gives us a signature Anna face towards the end of the video, and shows off her new "Mama" skill.

Cripple Creek 8/18/06

The first recorded "high five" occurs at the beginning of this video, as she and David Chanoff and Ev dance to Up on Cripple Creek.

Our girl's got some energy 8/18/06

She knows the word "dance" 8/17/06

All you have to do is ask her if she wants to dance, and she starts dancing. Evan's concerned it doesn't bode well for high school.

My daddy is hilarious 8/10/06

Killer giggles.

Caps lock baby 8/10/06

This is the oft-discussed skill Annie has developed of clicking only the caps-lock key on the keyboard, since it makes the light go on and off. She is a true computer genius.

Anna is a ham 8/4/06

In more ways than one. She loves eating it, too.

Dancing 8/4/06

Anna works the remote control here, replaying the part of the song she loves and dancing to it.

The Creeper 8/4/06

Although Annie can walk without support, she still loves "creeping" around, leaning on the furniture.

Soy cheese mustache

Today for lunch Anna had a bunch of soy cheese. It was sooo hot out, it melted on her tongue and she stuck her tongue out, covered in cheese. Then she brought her tongue back into her mouth, giving herself quite the funky mustache.

Skeels. Our girl's got skeels.

Evidence that our girl is BRILLIANT. I kid you not.

Poop - Shudder - Clap

Love this combination of events... the elusive poop - shudder - clap. Ha. I can't stop watching this one, the shudder is so fantastic.

Can you pinch an inch?

Anna's a pincher now. She pinches me all the time, but here's a rare moment where she turns the talons on herself.

Somebody can eat WHOLE blueberries now
