This time we’ll have the videos first, and the photos later. I was previously posting both media types in the same post, where appropriate. However, this caused problems with duplications on Anna’s site, so they’ll now be split – whenever practical. Anyway, this was shot on the 13th of September 2009, at Irina’s parents’ house.
The first couple are of Anna playing with one of her teething rings and a ball.
The next is of Anna playing pass the ball with Babushka (her Babushka being Irina’s Mum. Babushka is grandma in Russian).
The last two are of Anna playing/rolling on the floor, on the same day.

Anna – you are looking so grown-up and just too beautiful. Lots of love – Nana

Thanks Nana/Mum/Carol. We passed along your thoughts to Anna. All is fine here, she had her second “swimming” lesson today.
btw, if you use John’s PC to leave comments on this blog, you’ll need to check what is entered in the name box – you are currently showing as John 🙂

hello Chris, Irina, and Anna (what is uncle in Russian? I tried lookinging it up and it looked a bit like ‘arar’ but with syrillic letters, what is the phonetic breakdown?) it’s uncle Nick – brother Nick sounded a bit more spiritual than I can claim to be.
Anna is looking lovely and i see from the 1st vid that she has Irina’s gymnastic legs! hope all is well.

Uncle is pronounced something like “dya-dya”. Say Da-Da, like PaPa, but with a ‘ye’ sound in the middle of each syllable.
All is fine here, looking forward to the five (or even six, depending on our and Roz’s timing) of us meeting again.
