This short video was shot on the 6th of March, with Anna having some tummy time on the floor. The snuffling was just how her little nose sounded when she was very little, most of the time she now sounds absolutely fine The ah-ah you can hear being handed out is to Gwen, who was …
March the 5th saw Anna asleep downstairs in her cot. The noises you hear were her little blocked up nose. Saline drops did the trick, but she didn’t really seem to enjoy them. Anyway, as she grew bigger and her nasal tubs expanded, that phase was certainly grown out of. For a little while, it …
Shot on March the 1st 2009, Anna is now eight days old. She is sat on the sofa with Aunty Chris holding her, and you’ll see Irina, John (Aunty Chris’ John, that is) and Mum towards the end of the clip. I should point out the raspberry sound is me attempting to get Anna’s attention, …
As I have mentioned a couple of times previously, the videos of Anna on this site have all been taken from Ira’s photo camera. Although we had a camcorder in Britain and here in Kazakhstan, we didn’t often get it out to tape Anna. Not sure why, but there you go. Anyway, I’ve finally dug …
This looks to be the last of the backlog of Anna’s pictures. Taken on the 27th of September 2009, in the in-laws’ kitchen again. Anna has since discovered the joys of crawling forwards, as well as backwards. Anna has a slightly mischievous look on her face, can’t remember for certain, but a likely reason is …
Again on the 24th of September, we have a couple of videos. Relatively new additions to the in-laws’ house seem to be asking “Mum, Mum – What Is It?” It is a small version of its mummy. Don’t worry. Applies to both species
So, these two are the last of the Anna videos for now. I think we’re up to date finally, although that means there weren’t any pictures or films taken of her in October? I’ll check the memory card in the camera later. Anyway, here we have Anna eating her toes again, experimenting with sounds and …
Anna started to learn the art of camouflage around the 24th of September 2009, as this picture of her attempting to blend in with a kitchen chair demonstrates Where Is Anna?
Again taken on the 23rd of September, here we have four videos of Anna playing in her rocking chair horse. Rocking horse chair. Horse shaped rocking chair. Chair shaped rocking horse. What ever you call it, that what she is playing in. Now she can sit upright on her own, we are happier leaving her …
I’ve never tried horse riding. Never really want to – if I’m not using my own feet, I want somebody (preferably me) to have some sort of definite stop/go pedal arrangement. The idea of trusting an animal to not just throw me off the moment it senses my lack of faith in the whole experience …
Once more WordPress has lost all idea about which post the following pictures are assigned to, so no fancy layout. Click the thumbnails to see a larger version… The 19th of September saw these photos being taken. Before setting of for a walk to the Mega shopping centre, Anna had another little experimental toddle around …
Again shot on the 13th September 2009, just a single photo this time, with Anna striking her normal facial pose – smiling! (Not withstanding her “I’m not sleepy, you can’t make me go to bed” moments, of course). Anna Smiling Sat Up On Sofa In In-Laws’ Living Room
Shot three days later than the last photo (making it the 16th September 2009 when it was shot), this shot makes me wonder whether Anna or Ira and I enjoy her trying new foods more. We try not to take a picture each and every time she makes us laugh or smile, but this one …
This time we’ll have the videos first, and the photos later. I was previously posting both media types in the same post, where appropriate. However, this caused problems with duplications on Anna’s site, so they’ll now be split – whenever practical. Anyway, this was shot on the 13th of September 2009, at Irina’s parents’ house. …
Shot on the same day (11th of September 2009) as the Smiling Anna At Home post from yesterday, here we have a couple of new videos for you to watch. Not really a lot of movement going on, this is really a post for the friends and family back in Britain who’ve not seen just …
