Tooth Watch 2009

Just to keep everyone up-dated. Anastassia got her first tooth (or at least we saw it) on May 16. This weekend we found her chewing on her crib railing (a Neroda trait) and discovered a second tooth has finally made an appearance. Of course the first tooth is on the bottom front right side. The second tooth in top left second from front tooth. Hopefully this is not a sign of orthodontic bills to come!

Catching up - Easter, Mike's birthday

Catching up on pictures. These are a bit out of order but it was taking too much time to re-order them. Hoping to post the remaining pictures thru Anastassia's first birthday before the end of the week when we head to Watertown for a vacation, family reunion and Jennifer's high school reunion.

April 09 - In Charleston, SC with grandma and grandpa for the Cooper River Bridge Run.

May 09 - Race for Cure in Atlanta - grandma pushed the stroller 5K.

May 09 - Mike's birthday - Anastassia is still trying to figure out this present deal

May 09 - enjoying Spaghetti-Os - her favorite saying is "Uh-OH"

April 09 - sick day from daycare due to virus - she doesn't look very sick but at least it was an unplanned day off for mommy - also the first day she took steps with her walker - she just stood up and walked across the room - at lease mommy didn't miss it

April 09 Easter- getting clean for the Easter bunny with my cousins - Anastassia was getting a bath and Jocelyn and Riley came into the bathroom and decided they needed a bath too - so before I could say anything they had shed their clothes and were in the tub. At least everyone got clean for Easter morning.

The boys and their babies Easter afternoon in GA

Mike bonding with all his girls after finding eggs Easter morning.

So are you telling me a big bunny brought all this candy and eggs?

Easter morning after finding eggs that Mike hid outside at 7:00 am so the girls could look from them outside (a treat none of us from up-state NY had the pleasure of doing)

Hunting for eggs

Anastassia was happy with an egg for each hand

How am I going to eat all this candy without any teeth?

Checking out my basket

Finding baskets Easter morning

"Here comes Anastassia cotton tail, Hopping down the bunny trail...."

I'm not too sure about this?

Making Easter cards - Anastassia has a "taste" for art.

What no more paint? What about play-dough or glue?
