Anabelle has been quite busy lately. As you know, Anabelle comes with me to work, as employees in my office can bring their babies until the babies are six months old. Here's Anabelle with her "work buddies" Kourtney and Jahir. Yes, none of them are smiling, but just getting three babies to look at the camera at the same time is kind of a small miracle. Anabelle loves playing with her work buddies. They smile and coo and share toys. It's pretty cute.
Anabelle has also slowly started to ease into her daycare routine. She has been going to "school" two mornings per week for a few weeks, and she's doing great! Next month she'll go half time, and she'll work up to full time in daycare in May. It breaks my heart to think I won't be able to take her to work with me forever... but fortunately her daycare is REALLY good. She is happy and engaged in daycare, and I know I'm leaving her in good hands.
Anabelle has been trying really hard to start crawling. You can't tell in this picture, but she has her knees up under her belly and she's pushing herself forward. She also pushes up really high on her hands sometimes, and does a few other things that look like complicated yoga moves. She's determined to be more mobile, but I'm in no rush for that!
Anabelle has a favorite toy. This dog she is holding is actually a toy Vita used to play with, and Vita has no problem sharing her old baby toys. Anabelle absolutely LOVES this toy doggy. She gets so excited that she sometimes flaps her arms like a bird.
She also loves sitting up in this Bumbo chair. She's getting pretty strong, and pretty soon she'll be able to sit up without one of these supportive chairs.
Anabelle has a beautiful smile that can light up a room, but I love all of her facial expressions. This is the face she makes when she wants to eat, and I'm taking too long to feed her and she has about five seconds more patience before she's going to completely freak out. Isn't it a cute expression?
We recently borrowed a friend's high chair. When we pushed this up to the table, Vita said "now we can all eat together like a family". Its amazing to think that in just one more month we can start to introduce solid food.
And finally, Anabelle is a good sport about dressing her up in absurdly cute outfits. Look at my little monkey!
