Mirror Image and Other Stuff

There is a full length mirror on the closet door in Hadassah's room. Dassah loves to play with her reflection.

We also have a small toy mirror. The other day she started kissing it.

Mommy likes to play with the mirror, too. At least, take pictures of Dassah playing with the mirror.

Cool, there's a fan on the ceiling!

Kissing her reflection again.

Give the Teddy a hug.

Cheerios!!!

"Ummm, am I supposed to eat this?"

Sitting up! If she looks around, she unbalances herself, but she's getting so good at it! She's holding the small mirror here.
She's starting to get up into a crawl (or even hands and feet!) position.

Look at that tongue!

Hadassah loves Rista Cat. Rista Cat tolerates Dassah.

Mommy loves her little girl.

Daddy loves his little girl.

"Wake up, Daddy!"

Our dryer isn't working! I had to jerry-rig a clothes line. At least we have the space...

I fiddled around with Windows Movie Maker and came up with this. I added some captions as to what I think she might be thinking.

A video of her kissing her reflection. So far, that little mirror is the only thing she gives kisses to. I didn't fiddle with this video.

Christmas Pictures

Michael's sister Danielle came over a week ago to help us decorate for Christmas. Hadassah "tried" to help decorate too.

We thought Dassah would be cute inside one of our big stockings.

On Wednesday, I thought I would try to take some cute pictures of Dassah's first Christmas. (No ornaments were broken in the taking of these pictures.....)







This one shows off her one little tooth.

Painting the bedroom and other pictures

Mommy put sock rattles on her hands. Look at that expression!

Hadassah's first snow!

Sharing Isaac's toys.

"Can Dassah go get the kitty?" Notice Rista's ears are back.

"I really want to go get the kitty!"

"Mom! My bowl is empty!"

"Is this how you hold it?"

She sits up alone! (For all of one second.)

And painting her bedroom.
First we put down plastic and put up painter's tape. Then we had to start with the white trim.

I painted the door too.

Then we painted the yellow. Michael did the edges and corners.

I used the roller.

Final touch up.

The finished product.
Dassah's crib will go in this corner.

Dassah figured out how to work the jumperoo. She just goes and goes and goes.....

5 months!

A week ago, Hadassah turned 5 months old! It's amazing how fast she's growing.

We got her a jumperoo because she was trying so hard to sit upright. She absolutely loves it. Here, she's trying to decide if she can reach the toys dangling over her head.

Such a cute little face!

Dassah likes to flip over and look at things upside-down.

When she sleeps on her back, she likes to have her hands behind her head.

We've made some new friends in Wyoming: Kaitlyn and Isaac.



Laugh as loud as you can!

Dassah loves Daddy!

Toes are tasty!

Such a pretty smile.

Teddy Bear

The cat just walked past. Dassah says, "Come closer so I can chew on your tail."

Look out Mozart! Here she comes!


Dassah also likes to sleep on her side.

She's so adorable!

Enjoying some plums in a mesh baby feeder.

Playing with the leg of the coffee table.

Overalls are so cute on her. After looking at this picture, I've decided her eyes are denim blue.
Another picture with overalls, and Giraffe! Dassah loves Giraffe.

In this wrestling match, Dassah won.
