These days, as Anabelle gets bigger, knows how to sit up, rolls all over the place, and is almost crawling, she is much less fragile and Vita gets to play and interact with her more. They hug and play and laugh all the time.
Anabelle looks so cute in Vita's old hand me downs. These pajamas bring me right back to Vita's baby days and I remember so many snugly bedtime routines in these. This developmental phase, right around six months, is SO much fun.
Anabelle is also starting to expand her vocabulary of noises. Although she still loves blowing raspberries, she's also starting to say things that are a little closer to words. Lately she loves making "g" sounds, mostly "ga ga ga ga ga..." Anabelle is also eating more new kinds of foods, and we try a new food every few days. She loves to eat.
This Sunday, Grandma Victoria came over with an old friend of hers and we all had a blast.
Here's Vita doing Jacky's hair.
Here's a close up of Lucile.

Do you see the puffy, swollen gums inside this mouth? I think a tooth is starting to work it's way out, and it's keeping Anabelle up a lot at night lately.
Vita has as much fun with Anabelle's toys as she does with her own. She loves to show Anabelle how you're supposed to play with things, and Anabelle loves to watch her big sister. In fact, I don't think there is anything Anabelle loves more than when she has Vita's full undivided attention.

Finally, our BIG news is that we just adopted four baby chicks, just a few days old. They are so sweet, and they already have distinct personalities. You can already start to see who is at the top of the pecking order, which chick is smartest, and who's the sweetest, too. From left to right, they are: "Heart Pumpkin" (named by Vita), "Lucile" (named by Jenny), "Skeeter" and "Professor Cluck" (both named by Ernie).
Here's a close up of Lucile.
And another of Professor Cluck, looking quite distinguished indeed.
