This afternoon we went on our first walk together as a family. Anya did not like it. She prefers the boxing ring to a stroller but then she was a little hungry as we later realized. It was more for Lindy anyway who has been trying to catch up on sleep and thus hasn't had much time to enjoy the sun.
The doctor said that we should begin spending time with her on her stomach... We don't spend time on her stomach... she does on her own... ;) The doctor called it "Tummy Time." We thought that was ridiculous. Anya's coaches prefer to call it abdominal workout sessions. She is suppose to try and learn to hold her head up and body weight with her arms over time. She didn't do so well the first time (see picture) but you probably couldn't at her age either!
We forgot to mention that boys have already been eying beautiful little Anya. One even gave her flowers (Uncle Mark). We think Anya loves them - she didn't say much... but thank you!
Also, Anya made her first friend at the doctor's office today. This really isn't that significant except that her friend's name is Anya, too! That was weird. The first people we talk to in person after the delivery have a newborn named Anya born one day after... We thought the name Anya was relatively rare. Maybe everyone is calling their baby Anya these days! But a quick check confirmed that only 669 babies born in the U.S. were named Anya in 2005. After some simple number crunching, and assuming the same trend in 2006 (669 babies named Anya) the odds that the first baby Anya met was also named Anya is about 1 in 3000. The odds are even smaller if the baby has to be younger than Anya! (1 in 150,000)
