I’ve never seen this before – Anna fell asleep on the ride home tonight, and she didn’t wake up when I came around to get her. So here is something very rarely seen: Anna sleeping.

First up is a video of Anna pushing a chair around. Right before I shot this, she was working very hard to pull the chair around with one hand.

Now that Anna has something like 3 teeth with more coming in, she’s started worrying about her dental hygiene. She’s taken to brushing her teeth quiet well:

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.

This is a quick one – another failed attempt at getting Anna to stomp. But I still like it.

This is Anna pretending to user her nose spray on herself and on Mom. She is making the “pssh pssh” noise that the spray makes when you use it!

I tried to get one of her stomping her feet (like an elephant), but she wouldn’t do it on camera. We’ll try again later.

The bucket that normally holds Anna’s blocks also makes a lovely hat. Also, you may notice in the background, Sesame Street has changed a lot since I was a kid.

Anna spent her first Christmas in Iowa with her grandparents and her Uncle Jon and Aunt Rae. We had a great time, and Anna even started growing her first tooth! (Finally.)

Here are three videos captured the night before we left and while we were there.

Anna was pretty excited about taking a bath this evening.

And had a pretty good time in the tub, too.

We haven’t posted anything for a while, so here’s a few good minutes of Anna playing before bed.
