Anna gets some snuggle time with Great-Grandma














My favorite thing about Thanksgiving? Leftovers!!! I just threw away the last of them, but I could eat them forever! Anna loved having Great-Grandma over for the night of leftovers after Thanksgiving because she got her all to herself!

Bubbles!!!



I'm not sure why we hadn't brought these out before now, but we just found the bottle! John is very good at blowing BIG bubbles...





Anna's early Christmas present from her Mom and Dad


We decided to go ahead and get the next best thing to a tank-kinda-carseat. This thing feels so secure yet soft. It fits up to 65 pounds, so we figured that since it won't get used by another sibling, we could go ahead and get a girly pattern. I love it! My favorite feature is that you can velcro the straps on the side of the carseat so that you don't have to hold them at the same time you're trying to put the baby in! It is a little challenging getting Anna ready to go out the door with all her STUFF, and carrying her with everything to the car- it takes a little more organizing and baby wrangling, but I'll get used to it! It beats lugging this little chuncker in that carrier! It seems like over the past week Anna has seemed heavier every time I pick her up! Is there lead in her formula?? Haha.


On a different note, we've decided to switch pediatricians, due to the fact that ours is leaving Richmond, and based on others' recommendations. I'm excited but nervous to learn a different group of doctors, but I'm also happy to have done this before Anna gets any older. She has her 9 month check-up in 2 weeks with the new group.


Anna is "scooting" now, half crawling but using one elbow instead of her hands to move. She rolls/scoots wherever she wants to go, so she's not missing anything!! She also just started getting into a sitting position from her stomach. She seems very proud of herself when she does this, and gets quicker everyday. Her favorite toys right now are the remote control, phone, any sort of cable, and Madeira's bones/toys (yuck). Apparently, Madeira likes to share, because everytime I look around, a bone or toy is on Anna's playtime blanket!!
