Our darling little Anna banana turned 6 months old yesterday. My, how time flies. Her sweet, gentle spirit brings balance to our nest. It makes my heart glad to see the love and adoration that is developing between our girls, as sisters. One of Leah's favorite things to do in the morning is accompany me to Anna's room and run up to the crib exclaiming "Da -Mooring, Anna!"
Anna can now sit unassisted and play. She is more advanced physically than Leah was at this age. We expect she will crawl and walk sooner, too. Her favorite veggie is squash, and she prefers all veggies over fruit. She is still breastfed, and we are working on getting her to sleep longer stretches at night. I have been quick to nurse her if/when she awakens during the night because I was afraid she would wake up her sister. So, as a result, she has come to rely on being nursed back to sleep everytime she wakes up....not good. But we are working on correcting that. Another new phase we are dealing with is stranger anxiety. She has started to cry when she is held by people she doesn't recognize. We see this often when we take her to the nursery at church. I pray this phase is a quick one, because it breaks my heart to hear her cry.
Anna will go to the pediatrician for her 6 month check-up on July 19th, so we will see how much she's grown then.
