Anika is growing up

Anika is growing up so fast. She is almost 8 months old already and she is a lot of fun right now. She is sleeping about 12 hours straight at night (LOVE her for that.). She loves attention and eagerly bounces until someone looks at her at which point she will gleefully smile and laugh, especially when Broderick is around. He could entertain her all day. She cannot get enough of him. She is moving, but not in a trational way. She sits on her butt, reaches her hands forward and then scoots on her butt. She's not fast and its hardly noticable, but you'll look at her and realize she's 3 feet away from the spot she was the last time you looked at her.

She is spending more and more time on her stomach and rolling around, so maybe she'll start crawling soon.

And her hair keeps growing. There is actually some hanging over her ears and I can actually comb it a little bit. Here she is doing one of her favorite activities. We'll set her on the floor and the next thing we know, she has scooted over to the magazine rack and is destroying one magazine at a time. It entertains her for long periods of time.

We went to my friend Tina's the other day and got to meet her friend Åshild and her boy Thomas. Åshild and her husband just adopted him from South Africa a few months back and he is adorable.

Anika is getting some help from Christoffer with her pacifier and here's Thomas charming the camera.
