Ok, we are starting a blog for Anya. Daddy has been saying "we" should make a blog and since he has not made any effort, I guess he meant "I" should make a blog. Anya is growing by leaps and bounds. She is 10 months old now and we have recently realized that she is more like a toddler now than a baby. She is pulling herself up on everything and crawls all around the house. She understands when we tell her simple things like "no" (in baby language,this apparently means do whatever you were doing faster), "clap", "drink", "hug", and "make nice nice" (this means to pummel in baby language). Anya has her first cold, but she is taking it like a champ. Daddy and I just love going out in public with boogie marks on our shirts. She has her two bottom teeth and is just about ready to have her top two teeth come in. I noticed that it's not the top front teeth, but rather the ones next to the front teeth so I guess she will have fangs...that figures....
Anya is also saying lots of words now like "dog/doggie", "hi", "mommy/daddy", and "yeah". She also waves hi and bye and is not exactly scared of strangers, but she will look to see our reaction to strange people before she responds to them. We recently took her up to NJ for Thanksgiving and then drove to Buffalo. She had lots of fun with all of her family. Next we are on to NH from December 22-29. It's going to be cold!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
love,
The Kendzioras
