Baby Dedication

Well, we have a ham. Aanika was dedicated to the Lord on Sunday, March 7th and brought down the house! She and her "cousin" Hannah (also from China) were up front with Pastor Tim when Aanika decided to be funny and start flirting and making faces at everyone in the audience. Wouldn't you know it, it's a very serious moment and nobody can keep a straight face (laughing out loud), I'm hiding behind Kevin's shoulder because I was laughing so hard and Kev's doing his best not to look at her (he was holding her). Yup, you guessed it - the more we laughed the more she did it! All in all it turned out wonderfully and we have some great video to show her later.
The newest thing is that she's very aware that she's funny. A couple of days ago she was showing off, covered her mouth with her hand and doubled over at the waist with laughter. Let's just say that it's gonna be an interesting ride! She's an absolute riot.

Our other big hurdles are finally coming together. It used to be that we couldn't get her to put things in her mouth to eat and now we can't stop her! Oh the joy of Cheerios and Cheddar Gold Fish from Peppridge Farms. The other thing we had trouble with has now been solved with something as simple as a straw. Aanika simply would not drink from a sippie cup and was a disaster without a lid so out of desperation I tried a straw. I've never seen a one year old able to master a straw but hey, yeah for us!
