March 14, 2011

Baby Anya is developing so rapidly. In the last several days (since about Mar. 9) not only is she sitting strong and pretty all on her own but she has also begun to babble for real. She loves repeating dadadaa and gagagaa. Very exciting for this now 8 monther.

Forgot to mention something about Milena in my last post. Just wanted to always remember the infamous "wall of boogers." Gross indeed!

Just got back from a great family vacation in San Antonio. Would love to return someday. Highlights included a wacky mirror maze and dinner at the Magic Time Machine. Our waiters were Alice in Wonderland, Woody from Toy Story, Tinkerbell, and Peter Pan. It was so funny because my kids can't quite discern real v. imaginary yet. Alexander asked Alice "Who are you?" and she quickly replied, WHO ARE YOU? He was was very engaged, and before the end of the night he was also "the (under the) table monster! We loved the river boat ride also. Kids waited for 2 days to finally ride. They loved it, but Ana, of course, breastfed and was lulled to sleep half way through.

Dad survived the trip-- but had to come down hard on the kids a couple times. Once he was driving and things started to get loco. Fortunately, Ricky got his road rage under control rather quickly. Poor Milena has to put up with a lot of FOCUS!!! She distracts way to easily for Ricky's taste. Hope she's not permanently scarred. Natalya and Alexander sometimes imitate their dad when talking to her now. It'll get on her nerves for sure!
