the winner...

Anya took her first step* today over at Bobby & Amy's house. 6:08pm.

She then promptly fell down.

Angie is the winner with her guess of September 6th at 4pm. If we were in Hawaii or Guam or somewhere in the middle of the Pacific today, she'd be spot on.

Yay Anya!!!

* Chris and I decided that "first step" means one foot coming forward and the other coming to meet it

milestone

Anya has her first cold :-(

Anya Speaks!

I'm no longer yielding to naysayers (Amy) who claim that it’s just a coincidence. I’m now totally confident in proclaiming to the world that my child has spoken her first words. I wanted to make this announcement after our trip to Cleveland during which *I* believe she said both “clap” and “kitty”. But since it was not reproducible or published in a peer-reviewed journal Amy told me not to.
I can be silent no longer! My little girl very distinctly said “kitty” this morning TWICE while clamoring over me to get at Zahra.
Anya has therefore officially moved on from the grub stage of life into the fully and uniquely human stage of the linguistially-abled.
She rocks.
