Fruit Moving
Following on from the earlier Apple A Day post, we have three videos shot around the same time that the phot was taken, back on the 6th February. And still no one has poked me to re-insert the embed code for Anna’s videos over on her blog – AnnaMerriman.com! Anyway, I’ll need to leave the PC uploading the other videos for the night, so I’ll stop writing for now.

An Apple A Day…
Getting back to photos being posted in the order they were shot, here we have one from the 6th of February, the weekend before we left for Britain. Anna has recently really started liking eating apples (one little bite after another all adds up), as well as ecstatically devouring bananas whenever she spots one. Anna is sat on the new playmat/rug for her in the kitchen in that house. She now wears shoes most of the time she is up and wandering about, though we do also try and occasionally ensure there is some bare feet time 🙂

Ravioli Gets The Thumbs Up
As with most pasta based dishes, pelmeni is always met with a smiling face, and finished with a certain amount of mess on Anna’s face. As it is reasonably similar to the Italian dish of ravioli (being little packets of meat in a pasta envelope), Mum and Irina decided to see how Anna liked it. The main difference is that ravioli (at least the tinned variety) normally comes in a tomato sauce – not normally an issue for Anna. The short story is that Anna loved it, and you can see it being consumed with Anna in her high chair in a picture below. John took the photo sometime after the 14th February I think.

Daring Donkey Dives
As John drove us back from Heathrow to Clydach, we stopped off at one of the motorway services stations for a chance to stretch our legs (including Anna, who walked the length of the car park!), take a comfort break and grab a bite to eat. As Anna went past the first shop, her eyes were immediately drawn to a huge display of stuffed toys. Cynical marketing (like putting sweets at eye level for children at supermarkets check outs), but it worked, as Anna started making some noise and pointing. John succumbed and bought Anna the donkey she seemed to be most interested in. When we got home, we discovered that Anna loves to tackle the poor thing – she’ll literally dive onto it from a standing position, then roll around on the floor ensuring it can’t escape!
Again, credit to John’s blog for the original posting of this picture. The date was around the 14th February.

Anna In The Garden
I haven’t got around to finding our camera yet, so these pictures of Anna may well be out of sync, if we still have Kazakh photos to post.
Anyway, these were shot on the 13th or 14th of February – I think it may have been the latter (Valentine’s Day)? You can see the original Anna And Her Entourage post at John’s blog, but in case you haven’t got around to checking it recently, here are a few of the shots…
Head on over to John’s blog to catch the recent posts on their holiday, and don’t forget his gallery.

Anna Behaves Well
We hadn’t originally planned to have a lot of friends over for Irina’s birthday this year, but quite a few turned up whilst we were at the in-laws’ house. Anyway, here we have a short clip of Anna and friends taken on the 31st of January. Anna behaved very well considering all the faces around her, and the attention she was given. We just hope she behaves as well back in Britain. Speaking of which, we’ll be in Istanbul in less than 24 hours now!

Hands Free
We finally have some good video clips of Anna walking completely solo. Ignore the date Irina gives, I’ve double checked and it was in fact the 30th of January…
It is great to see Anna happy to stand up on her own, decide where to head, and just start walking. She is just as happy changing direction mid-journey, and carrying cups/toys etc. in one hand. There are moments when she is too tired or grumpy, as she will return to crawling, but the moment she first had the confidence to start taking little steps on her own will stay in our memories for ever 🙂

Advanced Drawer Clearing
The 25th of January must have been a slow news day, in terms of Anna at least, as the photos are again of her cleaning/clearing out the computer desk drawers. Having said that, there is something quite cute about her look of accomplishment, sat like that.
