Anna is now sitting on her own. She topples over easily, but does pretty good sitting and playing with a toy for a while. She is rolling all over the place, and twists and turns, and pushes up on her hands while on her stomach, that I would think crawling is in her near future. She is also getting very verbal. She's muttering an "ama" sound, but I'm not convinced it is directed toward me. She has two bottom teeth. Here are some pictures Miss Lilly took of her at school. She sat up in her crib one day and started playing. Miss Lilly has taken some of the best snapshots of my kids. (Anna 7 1/2 months - 20 lbs.)

Here are Eston and Anna playing together on the floor at Mimi's house. They love to go over there after school and play.

A couple of stories:

When I get ready in the morning, I usually put Anna in her play saucer thingy that she stands in and has activities all around her in a circle. She loves it. She was in the living room with Eston watching Dora on tv. I come out of the bedroom, and Anna is still in the saucer, but in the corner in the kitchen. I asked Eston how she got there. He drug her, saucer and all, into the kitchen away from her because she was making too much noise and he couldn't hear Dora. I told him not to do that again and to let Anna watch Dora with him. He walks off and says, "that is rediculous." I couldn't help but laugh at the little brat and his choice of a big word. I'm wondering if this is a foreshadowing of many other times he will want to get Anna out of the picture.

I hope I tell this next one correctly, since it happened at school. Miss Lilly was bringing out a plate of cornbread from the kitchen to serve the kids at lunch. There is a boy who is allergic to eggs, so when she handed the plate to Miss Lo, she made the comment that there are eggs in the cornbread. Eston gets his piece, takes a bite, studies it, looks it over some more, and states, "there are no eggs in here." Not sure if he was looking for a whole egg in a shell or maybe some scrambled egg?
