Other Information
-Anna, when prompted, can count to three.
         You ask her "Anna, how old are you?"  One!!
         "What comes after one?"  Teou!!
         "What comes after two?"  Free!!
-She has also started counting things, unprompted (but only up to 2).  She'll be eating orange slices, pointing to one slice saying "One!", and then another saying "Teou!"
-Anna can say a few letters, when she sees them.  She can recognize and say "M", "I", "A", "S" and "Z".
-Anna knows a few colors.  She consistently can pick out blue, but also can point to red and say yellow "lello".
-She is finishing more of her one-syllable words... now saying "snack", instead of "nack", and "milk" instead of "mil".
-My two favorite words she currently says= turtle (tur-tal, with emphasis on each syllable), and Bible.
-One notable thing Anna did at the Sell Family Christmas, was when she saw Ryan get out an old antique family KJV Bible to read the Christmas story, she came from across the room, pointed to it, and clearly said "Bible".
-Anna will also sometimes say "Amen" after dinner-time prayers.
-Anna practices saying different people's names.  From her high chair, she can see some photos on our fridge, and she'll be sitting there practicing saying names.  Her favorite ones to practice are "Katie, Matt (Matthew), Don (Uncle John) and she tries to say her cousin Clara's name, but can't quite get there.

Anna enjoyed wrestling around with her Uncle John.

We went on a Caribbean cruise while Anna stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Burkle.

This is from when we were seeing Anna for the first time after 8 days.
