This is one of those “I haven’t blogged in a week so I should write something” posts.

Let’s see… Anna can push herself from lying down up into a sitting position by herself now. Consequently, we lowered her crib mattress a couple of notches—she’ll be pulling up before we know it. She can do the soldier belly-crawl wherever she wants to go, and she can get up on her hands and knees and kind of go backwards, but she doesn’t really know what’s happening. It’s kind of funny—she looks at me with this mildly distressed look as if to say, “Help! That’s not where I wanted to go…”

Our other baby, Sasha, is still doing well (David wrote an update here). She appears very healthy, lymph nodes are still down, and she has no evidence of any more tumors right now!

We’re almost done with our Christmas shopping. Before we went, David wasn’t all that excited about getting Anna presents. He said (and he’s right) that she won’t know what’s going on, she’ll just play with the paper, etc. But then we browsed through the toys, and he changed his tune—he wanted to get her everything! We restrained ourselves, though, to two toys, a couple of warm sleepers in the next size up, and a few little stocking stuffers.

Anna now gets an OOY—Ornament of the Year. She helped us… er, watched us… hang it up last night.
