End Of May Video With Anna
These two were shot when Aunty Sveta was still around (28th May), over at the in-laws again.

Aunty Sveta Seems To Approve :)
The following photos were all taken around the time (26th – 28th May) Aunty Sveta came to visit us at Irina’s parents, with some other family members. Aunty Sveta was very glad to finally see a small addition to our family. The pictures were all taken around the in-law’s home – in the back garden, kitchen and on the garden swing.

Bouncy Chair
Although not quite the panacea to Anna’s refusal to sleep when we were back in Britain, the bouncy chair that we were given over here is definitely very useful, we now use it at meal times so she can feel a little more included whilst we eat, and when we come in from our (very nearly) daily walks, Anna can be put in the chair whilst we collapse the pushchair, wash our hands, and generally go back into house mode 🙂
Anyway, here is a quick shot from the 24th May, showing Anna enjoying the chair. I’m hoping Irina will occasionally add to these posts with comments about Anna’s clothes, as I’m not exactly an expert on them. In general, they are pretty, and lots of them were given by lovely relatives and friends. To be honest, if Anna is comfortable in them, and they aren’t black, purple and brown pinstripes, I’m happy 🙂

DanD Comes To Greet Anna
The next day (22nd May) DanD popped over to Chubary (where Ira’s parents live, and where we were based until our flat was redecorated and had hot water again) to see Anna for the first time.
He and Lara have very well behaved and cute twins (given a discussion I had the other day, I would just like to point out that the two of them have their own unique personalities, and referring to them as twins is a lazy label. There, think my arse is covered now), who haven’t yet met Anna. Once they do, I’m hoping they’ll be a positive role model for her 🙂

First Kazakh Video With Anna
Here we have Anna at her Babushka’s in her bouncy Chair, shot on the 22nd May
Finally we have a very short video of Anna in the back garden at the in-laws, shot a few days later when Aunty Sveta et al visited (26th May)
Right, I need to check if there are any new videos waiting on the hard drive to be uploaded of Anna. There are a lot more already on YouTube of Kazakhstan, Dubai and Britain in general, but they’ll have to wait until I’ve at least cleared the backlog of Anna’s pictures, and I’d like to transfer and upload the DV camcorder footage we took of Anna back in Britain.
Wow, there are a few there, I’m uploading them now, but will probably have to leave it running over night (I’m actually writing this post Thursday night, but post dating it 12 hours so there is a bit of a gap between blog entries.)

Babushka And Dedushka
A week after we arrived in Kazakhstan (so the 21st May), a couple of quick shots with Anna and her Kazakh grandmother (babushka) and grandfather (dedushka) in their kitchen. The sunglasses aren’t a fashion statement, the lights were too bright for his headache 🙁

Sleeping Beauty
Oh, someone remind me I need to upload the rest of Anna’s videos to YouTube, and actually get around to embedding them in some posts as well. Please.
Anyway, back on track, this photo was taken of Anna on the 20th May, just outside our block of flats. She is happily sleeping away in her car seat/pram combo – we’ve now swapped to the proper pushchair attachment for the frame, as she is getting too big to spend too long in the car seat 🙂
