My dear, sweet Anastasia. What a beautiful, big, clever girl.
She has been the baby that has caught on the quickest with a lot of things - She learned to sit up, crawl, stand and walk the earliest. She was also able to do the actions to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" from a super young age. She is a happy girl, a fun girl.
Thankfully, she has transferred from the age of ripping up books to the sweet stage of looking at books. We'll often find her lying on Ambrose's bed or sitting in the big easy chair looking at a book, albeit it sometimes up-side-down. She, of course, loves being read to and there is nothing like her lit up face and giggles when I sit on the floor and ask her to bring a book to read.
Unfortunately, she hasn't learned the difference between a story book and a coloring in book. Her texta marks have therefore been permanently added to many of our favorite books (not to mention the furniture, walls and floor :).
She loves being outside and one of the first places she runs to is the strawberry patch. She'll plonk herself down in the middle of it and eat anything that slightly resembles a strawberry - be it red, white or green.
She is so full of life, curiosity and exploration. She is copying a lot of her parents' and siblings' actions. It is heart warming to look over and see Anastasia studying you so that she can fold her arms in the same way you are. It has been a good teaching time for the kids (and us). Anastasia is learning from you, so what kind of choices are you going to make today?
