This picture was taken up at Snow Mountain Ranch, where Mama, Daddy, and all four grandparents spent three nights entertaining the Emdrew. All four grandparents collaboratively babysat for a day so that Andrew and I could go snowboarding. The snow wasn't great, but the weather was, and luckily my first significant separation from Anika was uneventful.
Anika was calling out Grandpa's Scrabble tiles--mostly A's and I's.
In this one (and the next), Anika is dressed up in Grandma Mary's baby clothes. She looked like a doll.
Here's the crucial "Baby's first Christmas" shot under the tree. Andrew's holding on just because she has a tendency to topple, but on the whole she's quite good at sitting on her own.
Facing off with a favorite Christmas gift...
Sitting unassisted!
Thus ends the year of Baby's birth. And what a year! Travel-weary and sleep-deprived though we may be, I think these past few months have been the best of our lives. Stay tuned!
