Dylan And Amelia

Category: Anna's PhotosChrisM @ 10:19 pm

Once more from the 21st of February, here we have John’s son and daughter-in-law’s children, Dylan And Amelia. They came to help celebrate Anna’s first birthday, and it was nice for her to have some company a little closer to her own age…

Birthday Cake

Category: Anna's Photos,PicturesChrisM @ 10:18 pm

As I didn’t publish a video of Anna’s cake before it had the candle blown out, and was cut up, I wanted to write a quick post and put this picture up. I can just about remember when an accurate number of candles on my birthday cake didn’t set off fire alarms 🙂

A little later (after the bubble machine), we all went back indoors, Anna had a seat in the living room, and the cake was enjoyed 🙂

Gwen Gets A Hat

Category: Anna's PhotosChrisM @ 6:56 pm

Another of Anna’s birthday shots, here we have Gwen being told that not being a homo sapien was no excuse for skipping out on wearing a party hat. She allowed a few snaps to be taken, then removed it. Much like some of the humans in the house!

By this time during our stay, Gwen had learned that Anna didn’t always know how strong she was, or that pulling fur hurt, so Gwen often backed off a little if Anna seemed very energetic. I think our cats should be very grateful to Gwen, as Anna did seem to start to comprehend that little animals should be approached with a bit more care and attention (& less shouting) than previously!

Anna’s Birthday Present Pictures

Category: Anna's PhotosChrisM @ 6:55 pm

Yes, still on the 21st of February, which was Anna’s first birthday. Unless you include the day she was born. Which would make this year her second birthday. Which would most likely cause confusion. when Anna became one year old, we tried to grab a few photos, as well as videos, of Anna opening her presents.

Anna’s Birthday Cake

Category: Anna's VideosChrisM @ 5:46 pm

Not much to say with this video, as you may have guessed from the title, it features Anna on her birthday, about to taste her first ever birthday cake. The rest of the year, we’re pretty careful about sugar (and salt) levels in the food she eats (a little more difficult here in Kazakhstan, as the selection is narrower), but for that one day, pretty much anything was allowed 🙂
Anyway, here she is, sat in her highchair (this one is a little seat that you can attach to most normal “adult’s” chairs, and worked out pretty well), having already blown out her candles…

Anna’s Birthday Car

Category: Anna's VideosChrisM @ 5:44 pm

This is another toy that the authorities held onto for a while before allowing the parcel to eventually arrive (after a large amount of fees were paid). The push along car extends so you can place a seat on it, and since her birthday, not only has her walking improved (perhaps a coincidence, but in any case she can now control the car well), but she is able to get on and off it (when the seat is put in place), without our help, and normally she even ends up facing the right way!
She hasn’t yet started pushing herself along when sat in it, and doesn’t seem to want to raise her feet from the ground to allow us to push her, but in any case, most mornings she can be found ramming sofas, walls or any slow moving cats with glee. (The glee is hers, our cats have tended to jump out the way a lot more quickly now.)
