Following on from the post with pictures from the 4th of November, here we have three videos shot around the same time. You can see how she still liked to travel in reverse when the need arised, and that the cushions at the time were still in place around some areas of the living room. …
As you`ll know from the previous posts, Anna was already happy not only pulling herself up to a standing position, but also walking around a little. However, she had not really decided that crawling forwards was worth a lot of effort. Backwards crawling mixed with rolling from front to back and so on seemed to …
As promised, here we have the videos shot around the same time as the pictures (30th October) when Anna was just starting to find her feet, when it came to moving from one steadying item of furniture to another.
By the 4th of November (for new comers to this blog, dates are included on all of Anna photo and video posts, as they are automatically exported to her own site, and rather than spend a lot of time altering the timestamp of each post, I have included the date within the text, so visitors …
I’m splitting this into two separate picture and video posts so Anna Merriman’s blog doesn’t get all confused and duplicate things again. Anyway these photos were shot on the 13th of October, and demonstrate that our camera can struggle without the flash being turned on. Irina doesn’t like the un-natural lighting, and I don’t like …
Although as I write this post in December, the thought of Anna not being able to walk around from one item of furniture to another seems like a long distant memory, the photos and videos (see the next post) were taken on the 30th October, so not that long ago at all. She can now …
Not actually another picture with Anna being fed, this time she was feeding one of her teddies,with Babushka`s help. The photos were taken on the 25th of October. I have no idea whether it helped Anna understand the process of eating at all, whether it was just fun for her, or if it caused confusion, …
23rd of October and we have (I think) the first pictures of Anna in her winter outdoors outfit. Whilst it would be overkill for most situations in Britain, with temperatures here in Astana regularly dropping down to -25 Celsius, and occasionally colder, you can see why a body, jumper, dungarees /salopettes and a thick snow …
As promised, here is the second part of the series from the 13th October. Shot around the same time, we have some video of Anna chewing on her poor rabbit’s ears, and checking to see if the book by her feet has been read already.
No Amsterdam related posts for a while to come sadly, this is a few photos from the 7th of October with Anna enjoying her stacking pots. Although she has recently started putting them together and extracting them from each other, they were originally used pretty much as chewy toys.
A bit of catching up to do with Anna’s video and photos once more, sorry. I’ve got all the videos on my YouTube account (AstanaClydach) ready, and most of the photos selected and resized, now it is just a case of writing the posts and publishing them. So, these pictures were shot on the 30th …
It only got (a lot) messier from here… http://twitpic.com/sdp0d (Anna eating borsch)
Not a reference to my less than perfect low speed driving/parking techniques, but one of the few videos that did not fail to upload to YouTube recently. Shot on the 7th October 2009, we can see one of Anna’s previous approaches to getting over the living room ’safe and particularly clean area’ fence. Although she …
Gwen was obviously feeling a little left out on the 1st of April, as Ira and I were both videoing Anna in her cot downstairs, and so resorted to throwing toys at us, in the hope of reminding the silly humans what we were supposed to do with cow and blue dog. You can see …
Skipping forward a little, this camcorder video was shot on the 22nd of March, meaning Anna was now one month and a day old. Seb had come over ( ), and we decided to have a walk along Port Talbot beach, so he, I, Irina, Anna and Gwen all piled into the car, and drove …
