13 Months

Anna is getting super old, huh? Here are a few new pictures of Anna: 13 Months Album

That album includes my favorite picture of Anna and I, which Maria just took a couple of hours ago. You can really see how grown up Anna is looking there, and she’s even paying attention to a book.

She’s developing several talents that have proven almost impossible to capture on camera. She’s quite adept at mimicking elephants, monkeys, gorillas, giraffes, dogs, and birds. Well, she doesn’t really mimic birds so much as get excited and make ‘b’ noises when she hears them. I did get her doing “shhhh” like Grover does in the book that Maria is reading here.

Playing with Water

Anna’s most recent obsession is playing with water; she’ll stand in front of the sink and splash around for as long as you let her. She usually needs a new shirt afterwards, but it is a good way to get her to wash her hands after a messy meal.

She learned about how much fun water is when we went to the Children’s Museum here in town. They have a whole room full of fountains where the kids can fill cups and splash around and generally get soaked.
