Friends and Firsts

We first thought we'd share pictures of Anja's and Pip's closest friends in the neighborhood. Pip can't walk past Bailey's house without going crazy. If we let him off the leash in our front yard he makes a beeline for Bailey. Anja does not quite have the same reaction with Sophia, but they were meant to be friends. Born a week a part and sharing the same outfit, we better watch out.

Anja had her two month checkup this past week. As you will notice, she has a lot of bandaids on her legs. Everyone told me how traumatic it is to watch your child get shots. Either I have a heart of stone, or Anja was really pretty good, but we both made it through relatively painlessly. Part of the thanks perhaps should go to the doctor. Anja had already received two vaccines before her or I even knew she had been injected. Anja wailed like there was no tomorrow when shots three and four were injected, however, she stopped within seconds of the last shot. I was pretty impressed.



For those who read "chubsicle" the doctor assures us that Anja is still within the 50th percentile for her age in weight. Height is another story; she is in the 90th percentile. She clearly is taking after her father in that category. Hopefully she gets her father's hands too, and not the dreaded "Hanle hands".

Oh, and the "first" that the title suggests. We have now had three nights in the past five where Anja has slept six hours straight. After two months of getting up every three hours (+/- 15 minutes) six hours seems like a vacation!
