Anna's Ride

Anna's got a new ride. Check it out!  

Looking at the water below.

There were toys along for the ride!

Hat Twins.

  

Since she is sitting up so well, we thought we'd give her hiking backpack a go this weekend.  We hiked with some good friends, and enjoyed a picinic lunch afterwards.  Always fun, always yummy.   Anna did really well in the backpack.  So did Allen, for that matter.  The middle of our hike has a nice waterfall and we completed our series of pictures located on the righthand side of the blog.  We now have one year ago, nine months ago, and today. The first picture is 6 months prior to birth and the last picture is 6 months after birth. Kinda cool!

My family!

Happy (hungry) Baby!

"Hiker in Training"

After the waterfall viewing spot, the hike continues up the "mountain," across the "river," and then down the "mountain." The steps after the waterfall really tested out Allen's legs, and rocked Anna to sleep! There was a moment when all four adults were making sure she was still breathing because of how hard she passed out!

All you could see was her glowing red hair!

Anna is turning into a real traveler.  She does so well in the car and experiencing new things. She survived a 2.5 mile hike like a champ, a diaper change on a picinic bench, and a nap practically standing up! It was a great day, and she has taken a couple of good naps since then. I hope that the one she is taking now turns into more of the nighttime sleep type, but we'll see.
