But I think Brian got the easier stage before Analise was mobile!  Now she&#8217;s rolling, crawling (albeit backwards and in minute increments!), reaching, sitting, grabbing, leaning and drooling endlessly.  It&#8217;s fun!  Toss in trying to slowly unpack, organize, laundry, dishes, finish me much belated Christmas letter (or shall we say Valentine&#8217;s letter!), and walking to try to get myself in a little better shape and my day is full!  Of course, I&#8217;ve got time for a phone call, IM conversation or a visit&#8230; if you want!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/apod\/ACrawl.jpg\" height=245 width=350 border=1 hspace=5 vspace=5><\/td>\n<td>On with the show.

She doesn&#8217;t look too impressed, does she?  It was quite comical.  She was making terrible faces before it even got to her mouth.  After nearly 3 weeks, she&#8217;s only barely tolerating a taste of solids.  She&#8217;s a mama&#8217;s milk kind of girl!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/photos\/family\/apod\/KTAWalk.jpg\" height=478 width=300 border=1 hspace=5 vspace=5 align=right>Last glimpse of the day is Analise and I out for a walk around our neighborhood.  We got this great backpack from my parents for Christmas, and Analise smiles at everyone while I take her everywhere in it.  Our neighborhood is very hilly, and we&#8217;ve been enjoying walking every evening before dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, I&#8217;m hoping to update this more often because I know there are lots of you out there missing our smiling faces!
