Ana is now almost 8 months old. Can't believe it! She was 27" and 15 lbs 9oz at her ped appt. last week. Her head was 17 1/4" I think. At 6 months she measured 25" and weighed 14 lbs 12 oz. Now for the even more important stuff: Ana loves eating. We don't feed baby food, we just give her small pieces of what we can from our plates at dinner. She sits so contentedly. Ana is a joy, but she does know how to cry when she wants to be carried and one of us puts her down. She loves being carried and cuddled. She started sitting a little by early February but really sat unsupported on Feb. 15 for the first time. It took a little while, but this past week (Mar 1st or so) I can say she really has it down. She arches her back well but doesn't roll over; in our house this is probably good-- much safer.
Milena is the best reader in her first grade class. Not the most organized. She's a spelling princess too! (like mama)
Alexander is a true little boy now, with spikey hair to boot. He enjoys his friends Peter and Max and now frequently comes home with pictures he wants to explain-- too bad it takes him so long to explain. He likes to repeat to make sure I really got it.
Natalya is now just over 3. Please potty train, girl. It's time! She still likes mama's milk too, but I'm fine with that. She was cute yesterday. Alexander was at home sick and not at school or in the van when she got in as I picked her up from school. She looked and asked, "Where's my other one Ale(x)ander?" Her friend at school is Alexander Horne, but at home she looks for Big Bro' Alexander, my other one!
Here's a spelling anecdote:
Alexander, you are D U M B. Milena's insult was lost on him, though. He can't spell yet. He just replied, Milena, you are M P O.
