For those of you that are still wondering if she is sleeping through the night yet... the answer is NO. I don't think she ever will. For the longest time, people would ask and then say "awwww... well she's stiill young." Well... she's not so young anymore! She should be sleeping through the night but she just won't do it. She won't even go to sleep without me around. Its not even the nursing thing... its just me putting her in her crib. She rolls over and goes to sleep right away. With Adrian, he'll put her in her crib, and before he gets his hands out of the lion's cage, I mean crib, she's standing up, head spinning around, eyes turning yellow, spitting mad at him... and we all know how big Adrian's heart is, so she wins because he picks her up and brings her downstairs to hang out.
Anyways.. all is well at our end. She is growing like a weed. She's losing her chub on her arms... but her legs are as chubby as ever. Adrian just commented on her drumsticks this morning when putting sunscreen on her. She's loving the pool and playing outside on the deck in her playpen. She's eating almost everything, and prefers to do it herself.
Anika is enjoying the summer holidays. She's sleeping in everyday until at least 9-9:30am. Her day is spent in the pool in our back yard and at the park. The weather has been great the last few weeks... hot and dry. She starts summer camp on August 18th and goes Mon-Fri all day long, and then the week after she has gymnastics camp - trying out for Junior Panthers Group... which is the competitive side of gymnastics.
She's really looking forward to her visit with Oma and Opa who will be arriving at the end of August. She can't wait for them to meet her sister, and for them to spend sometime with her just hanging out.
Here are a few recent pictures of the girls...
