"I don't like Richard Scarry Mama"

Video of Violet feeding Anara - sorry about the size.

We have been going to the library and picking out books for the summer reading program. I always pick a Richard Scarry book, but I shouldn't have told Vi the author's name because now she won't read them with me. Apparently he should have written under a pseudonym because Violet is fixated on the "scary". She doesn't like "Scarry" books.

Tonight we moved Anara out of our bedroom. She is still sleeping in the pack-and-play, but we put it in the guestroom. We hope that someday she and Violet will share a room, but it doesn't appear that will happen soon. Anara is really sensitive to loud noises, and she lays flat on the ground and hits her head when Vi yells at her. Violet knows this and so she purposely screams at her to make her start hitting herself. One night I thought I would be smart and put them to bed in the same room. Violet screamed and screamed and Anara cried and cried.

Anara is eating more and more solids. She loves Cheerios and Goldfish and will try almost anything as long as Violet is the one putting it in her mouth. She will drink from a sippy, but only if Violet is holding it.

Here are some pictures of Anara playing with the dollhouse. As you can see she is starting to sit. I actually put her in a sit position to see if she would play with the dollhouse, and she only stayed in that position for a few seconds, but it was long enough for me to snap a picture.

Here is a video of Anara saying and signing "More", and I have no idea what Violet is doing in the background but she does say, "That scares Anara Mama?"
