Anka Progress

Well last night I sat on the floor and held Anka on my wrist with my arm on the floor. It took her awhile, but she did step onto the floor. Except she doesn't just walk around down there, she bites the carpet each time she takes a step forward - guess it's dangerous down there!

Next step - I sat in bed with a blanket over my legs and sat her there. Same thing, but the blanket moves when you tug on it! Instant good time for Vasa girl.

I tried to hand her some foot toys, but she recoils and whines.. still working on that

Brock

Fun stuff Brock! I started out putting a blanket over the bed, toys in the middle of it, and letting Vinnie play with whatever he wanted. But he didn't want to be on the middle of the bed, he wanted to be in my lap. So he figured out how to stand on my knee and pull the blanket so the toys come to him

Any more he hardly plays with the foot toys at all. He starts out just preening himself, and when he's done puts his head down for scratches. Last night he was particularly rolley-polley. I just crossed my arms while I was watching him. He climbed up to them and flipped himself over, so it was like I was cradling him; only I didn't do it! I let him choose what to do at his pace. Last night was the first time I ever held him in my arms belly up like that, and it was all his doing. Oh so cute!

Aren't they a great time! So much fun these big babies.

Congrats to both of you!
