Annalise

Annalise turned nine months old this week. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She has lots of new tricks. She is getting up on her knees and rocking back and forth. She likes to get in push up position and today she got herself in downward dog yoga style. She is also scooting along but only in a backwards direction(it's pretty funny). She also sat up by herself this week. She is so close to crawling that I sit around with the camera a lot trying to catch her doing it.

Anna has not ever been a great eater. She is only mildly interested in bottles and when it came to baby food she was not having it. I tried the stuff in the store, I tried making it myself, I tried everything a person could try and was thoroughly rejected. Finally, I realized that she just hates anything that is a baby food texture. However, if we give her little bits of real food that she can mash with her gums (still toothless!) she is happy as a clam. In the picture above she stole my apple and was sucking away on it. She loves puffs, cheese, peas popped out of their shells, watermelon, apples and pears (she just sucks on them, and any kind of bread or cracker.

Dan's parents came to visit for a few days and Grandma tried her hand at feeding the Bug-a Boo. We went away for the night up to Salt Lake and left the girls with my parents and Grandma took her official 9 month photo. I will post it after I upload it from her camera
