Anna's on the move

So Anna turned 5 months old on Sunday and decided she wanted to start moving around. She had been rolling over for a couple of months now, but she finally figured out that she could keep on rolling over and get to new places. It's fun to see her brain finally start connecting the dots:) I laid he down on her blanket and this is where she ended up,

now she needs to learn how to roll the other way:)

She has also discovered that her feet taste yummy. I didn't see it, but Mark said she was sucking on her foot last night. This is the best picture I got of it.


Anna accomplished yet a third milestone this week, she started eating rice cereal. I was little nervous about trying it, but she absolutely loved it.

Here she is in her high chair getting ready for the big event.


Here is the first bite.


She insisted on holding the spoon and feeding herself. We couldn't give her a bite without her holding the spoon.


And here she is all finished.


She had so much fun. Mark and I couldn't feed ourselves until she was all done, because she kept wanting more to eat. She is growing up so fast, it's fun to watch all of these milestones happen.

As for me, I've been out working in my garden. We got a lot of stuff done this past weekend when it was so nice. Here is my garden, I'm proud of it this year, it is doing really well.




Life has been busy, but it has also been a lot of fun. I'll keep you updated on all of Anna's accomplishments.

Moab and other fun stuff

Last week Mark, Anna, and I went to Moab with my friend from high school and her husband. We had so much fun. We explored Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Goblin Valley. I don't know which place I liked more, they were all so much fun. We needed more time down there. Anna hated being in the car, I think the 5 hour drive down scarred her for life,







but she loved hiking around in the front pack.



We had a lot of fun and are definitely going back to this area. Here are some more pics for you to look at.

Canyonlands National Park




Dead Horse Point State Park


Mark and I love the National Parks, we hope someday to visit them all(except the ones in Alaska). So far we have six down and about 50 more to go. We highly suggest making a trip down here, it was a lot of fun.
