Me and My Birthday Bear - Day 550

This is a picture from the fall of 2005, and she has her birthday bear in her hand. The batteries have since run out, and I once tried to change them, but Anna got extremely upset that I was taking a screw driver to her toy's bottom side. I can't really blame her; however, it remains unpowered to this day.

I have shared another video of Anna that includes recent clips and her saying "rock on dude" several times. The file is appropriately titled to reflect her new phrase. I posted the video on the 11th of February for Grandpa Greg's birthday, so the video necessarily includes two mentions of Gammy and Gampa.

The quality of the video is a little bit better than the webcam as I have just learned how to download directly from my camcorder. You can go to the "shared videos" link to the right on this webpage to play/download the video. I will note, however, that I only have a certain amount of data that can be download from the site (before I pay for more), so if my allotment has run out and you can no longer download the video, please just let me know.

As for other Anna news, she is really into snowmen because of our recent snowfall. She is seeing snowmen everywhere, though I think she is identifying each big pile of snow as a snowman now. She also sings the words to the 'wheels on the bus' song but instead of saying "round and round," she says "wow-ing around." She also has coined her own verb. She used to say "running" but now she says, "hurry-uping." She loves doing sprints in the house to practice running.
