24 weeks

Thanksgiving week and we have so much to be thankful for...most of all our beautiful healthy baby girl. Anna is growing so fast. She loves to talk to herself and to other people. Her vocab is expanding to "words" other than da da. She even said ma ma today! WHOOO HOOOOO! However, her new favorite sound to make is her fake laugh. I have no clue where she picked it up but it is so funny. Out of the blue she will just literally go "HA HA"! Nothing has to be going on...she can just be sitting there and she will do it. When you look at her she gets the biggest smile on her face and will often do the fake laugh again.
For Thanksgiving we went to the DFAC because Daddy had to serve the Soldiers. It was amazing how many families were there.
On Friday we had a first...our firt BLACK FRIDAY. We got up at 4 in the morning and headed to the mall. By the time we got to the mall, the line for toys'r'us was already about 200 people long...JUST TO GET IN THE DOOR. So needless to say we didnt get to that store. However, we did get a lot of shopping done and Anna picked out some new winter outfits. Anna did so good shopping we got her a new toy...its one of those bed bug bopper things (see pic below). SHE LOVES IT. Most of the time she just bangs the bugs with her hand (ok she is banging the entire bed) but there are times when she will use the hammer and try to bang the bugs. She gets so excited with this toy. Its so cute to sit her in her chair and watch her.


Two nights ago Anna crawled for the first time!!! BACKWARD!!!! She didnt go very far and hasnt done it since but it was funny to see her go backwards!
Anna is starting to get very picky with what foods she will eat. Currently her two favorite foods are prunes (no idea where she got this from) and applesauce.

Anna is also staring to whine a little more than we are used to. She doesnt cry, she just kind of whines. Not sure where this came from but we think it has to do a little with her teething.
Today Anna turns 6 months old! WOW!!!! Amazing. I think it will always seem like just yesterday she was born.
