Not much to say with this video, as you may have guessed from the title, it features Anna on her birthday, about to taste her first ever birthday cake. The rest of the year, we’re pretty careful about sugar (and salt) levels in the food she eats (a little more difficult here in Kazakhstan, as …
This is another toy that the authorities held onto for a while before allowing the parcel to eventually arrive (after a large amount of fees were paid). The push along car extends so you can place a seat on it, and since her birthday, not only has her walking improved (perhaps a coincidence, but in …
OK, I think I’ll skip my normal routine of providing the date that photos and videos were taken of Anna. The next few Anna’s Photos and Anna’s Videos posts are all based around her birthday, which is the 21st of February. If you’re reading this over on her blog, please assume the same date for …
This video was shot after the presents were opened, and the bubble machine tested out side. Although we had to wait for the box it was transported to Kazakhstan in to pass Kazakh Customs, it is definitely one of Anna’s favourite toys, especially since we took the audio from her favourite DVD of children’s songs …
I won’t be posting any photos today, as the hard drive is back at home, and we’re still with Irina’s parents. Both Anna and Irina has picked up some sort of lurgy, and so rather than transport Anna home whilst not 100% (and risk up chuck on the car seats), we are staying a little …
OK, so the next few posts will be of photos (and once YouTube behaves, videos) taken on the 21st February 2010, which was Anna’s 1st birthday. Unless you count the day she was born on. Which would be her birth day. Anyway, As there are a lot of photos, and I wanted to publish them …
Alternative title might be “The introduction of Zimmer Framer to the Russian language”… This clip was shot on the 18th of February 2010, when we had just got back to Britain. Anna was (and to a point, still is) at the stage where most items of interest need to be tasted at least once. When …
The 17th of February saw Anna completely at ease with Gwen running around the house, and just as importantly, Gwen feeling brave enough to actually play in the same area as Anna. Having heard of the sort of situation Gwen has found herself in when John’s granddaughter had a birthday party with a few friends …
This picture was taken on the 19th of February (a couple of days before Anna’s first birthday!), when Anna decided to sort her toy box. By sorting, I mean removing most of the contents, and playing with them, before we came along and decided to put them back in. Anyway, Anna was already seemed very …
As promised around ten days ago, here we have the video of Anna listening to John’s instructions on how to play some percussion, and then proceeding to have a go herself (as well as having a quick taste of the drumstick itself. It would seem that this sliver of wood is not in any way …
Just shot this clip (#qik) http://qik.ly/BIuYd
Anna outside Mega… Just shot this clip (#qik) http://qik.ly/BHQKg As with all these posts that contain videos and started life as tweets, you’ll either need to click the qik-ly link or the (0) link to watch the video. Just noticed that if I use the proper longhand embed code, rather than the short version, it …
There seems to be some confusion as to whether these pictures, and the soon to be posted video, were shot on the 17th of February or the 16th. In either case, Anna was being given a drum lesson by John, who obviously decided she was not making enough noise Despite Anna’s best efforts, she didn’t …
These were shot on the 15th of February, and show a cuddly donkey that Anna spotted, and John bought, on the way back from Heathrow airport to Clydach. ROTFTD? A bastardization of ROTFL – (Rolling On The Floor Laughing becomes Rolling On The Floor Tackling Donkeys). Anna took a couple of days to become comfortable …
In case you wanted to see a short clip of Anna taken on the same day (15th of February) as the ROTFTD post, or wondered how John achieved the angles he did, I have good news… If you do not feel a need to watch such a clip, can I recommend you don’t click the …
