Just one more video (yeah right).

Is anything more fun that posting videos of baby? Well, maybe watching them. This one again is primarily for Seth, but it shows Annika as we usually get to see her (when she's not sleeping). I am almost certain that I have never encountered a baby this young being so alert and interactive. And lest you think this is just a new mother's prejudice, her grandma suggested the idea first, and she has her own children to take into account.

This past weekend has also seen several milestones: she lost her umbilical cord, she smiled her first possibly not gas smile, she dirtied four outfits in one day, and she met her paternal grandparents for the first time. They brought her swing and put it together. (She is happily swinging as I type.)

Here is Pake Jake, holding his granddaughter for the first time. It's kinda funny to see something so small in the hands of someone so big.

And here is Nana Judi putting sockies on Annika's hands. (Niki has a habit of scratching her face. She likes to have her hands in that area.) Below, Nana finally gets a glimpse of baby's blue eyes. Baby was inclined to keep them closed for most of the weekend. And one more picture of Annika, just because she's so cute!
