July update - 11 months

Well, we are off visiting relatives, which for the most part seem to be the folks who read the blog anyway (sorry Jenna, Stephanie, and Karie). This week we are with the Phillips family in Cathlamet, WA. Apparently instead of celebrating the fourth of July, in Cathlament they have Bald Eagle's Day today and the town fireworks will take place this evening. Ani is now 11 months old and getting bigger every day.

She's mostly done with baby food and willing to eat just about any kind of adult food we can cut into small pieces. She says "hi" to everyone we meet, and some inanimate objects. She can also say Daddy very clearly and sometimes she can say "yay" "whee" "yeah" and "doggy". She loves the kitten at her grandparents house. The kitten is named Zoe and Anika adores playing with her. So far Zoe is very gentle and never puts out her claws so she and Anika are good friends.

On Monday we will fly to LA for a week to visit my brother Dave and his family, which should also be fun and exciting. Well, that's about it for now.
