Anna is 3 months old!

... and growing so fast! She's really developed her own personality (see her flirting with the ceiling fan in the previous post), and has changed so much already. She's in her second week of daycare, fortunately a short one due to Thanksgiving, and, as the only girl and the youngest in the infant group, has all the teachers wrapped around her finger. Not that we've actually let her stay there a full day yet, but we're working up to that slowly.

Anna - 3 months

As you can see from the attire, it's gotten colder in Sacramento, but Anna has weathered it in her lovely polar bear outfit, perfect for her walks with Mommy and Daddy.

Anna's crush - with video

So, Anna gives Mommy some smiles. She gives Daddy lots of smiles. But she saves the really big smiles for someone else. Who, you ask, could elicit such joy from our daughter?

Well, Anna has a crush on the ceiling fan. She loves it. She stares at it constantly and gets a huge smile on her face the second it comes into her view. We caught a bit on tape, so click on the link to get a glimpse!

Anna at 12 weeks

Anna turned twelve weeks old today... she's getting so big! She is reaching many developmental milestones. She can definitely recognize Mommy's face from afar, and she will start wailing if Daddy's been holding her and she's hungry. She knows how to reach for toys and grasp them. She loves her jumper and has figured out how to bounce in the right way to set the music off... and yes, that music is driving us a little crazy. She also has started to engage with the little toys on the tray of the bouncer. Smart lady!

Anna starts daycare tomorrow... at least for half days so she (read: Mommy) is accustomed to it. Mommy and Anna did a short visit with her teacher on Thursday and it went well. Anna seemed fine with Ms. Van but somewhat scared of the other infants. Anna is the only girl and the boys are all boisterous crawlers so it was a new experience for her. She's already having to fight off suitors!

Take a look at Anna in her jumper! It's still a little too big for her but we solved the problem with a BC yearbook!

Pop-Pop and Halloween!

Anna had an exciting ninth week of life! First Pop-Pop came to visit, just in time for the World Series! He and Anna really enjoyed hanging out and cheering on the Phillies. Anna got to take long walks with Pop-Pop while Mommy got to run some errands. He even baby-sat so Mommy and Daddy could go out on a date night! We had a great time.

Halloween arrived and Batgirl flew in to save the day. We stayed in with some friends and gave out candy... all the neighbors were excited to see Anna dressed up.
