Happy Valentine's Day!

Mommy holding her little Valentine.

Daddy holding his little Valentine.

Mommy was planning on taking pictures scattered over the whole weekend, but Hadassah had a fever Friday and Saturday. She didn't feel like taking any pictures. The ones I did take, you can tell she isn't feeling well.



Poor baby.


The fever was gone on Sunday, though, so we took several pictures in her Sunday clothes.










The only reason Rista is this close to Dassah is because Michael is holding/petting her.





"Okay, Mommy, that's enough with the pictures."


Tired out after the photo session. Let's all take a nap.

Pretty baby!

Our internet was down yesterday, so I went through and edited all the red-eye out of these pictures. There are videos at the end of the post.


Fun with Daddy

Dassah is stylin'

Helping Mommy fold laundry

Sorting the socks

Waiting for a bath. Dassah loves bath time.

Please Mom, no embarrassing pictures...

A little musician with her piano and drums. I don't know why this picture turned sideways.

Trying a sippy cup.

Cheerios!!!

Reflections are so much fun!

I like this one because Hadassah's reflection seems to have a different expression than she does.

Mommy and Dassah are dressed alike! (almost)

Look at all the toys in this toy box!

"I can be an Airman just like Daddy."

Daddy is so much fun. Mommy thinks they look so much alike.

This is Dassah's favorite toy to sleep with.

A frog

I have been thinking about using cloth diapers as a way to save a little money by not having to buy new diapers a couple times a month. Cloth diapers are not what they used to be. I don't need a plastic cover because a waterproof layer is built right in. Instead of safety pins, the diaper is closed with snaps or velcro. The ones I bought are adjustable so they can be worn from 8 pounds up to about 30 pounds. They also come in cute colors and patterns. Yesterday was Hadassah's first day in cloth diapers.

Let's do a headstand! Another cloth diaper.

Rista Cat is running out of safe spots.

Dassah is helping with the laundry.


What amazing noises we are learning to make!


Dassah enjoys chasing the cat...


A reflection makes a good friend.


Dassah has discovered a new sound; the "B" sound!

We have a crawler!

Hadassah started crawling with her belly off the floor shortly after Christmas. Mommy has just taken forever to upload pictures on to the blog. There is a video of her crawling at the end of the blog. I can't seem to get videos to post anywhere except for at the end.

Dassah uses a pacifier like she does a teething ring. She chews on it instead of sucking on it.

Standing up! Daddy's leg is her only support. You can tell by her face she's not too sure about it.

I gave Dassah the computer mouse and opened the paint program. Except for changing the colors for her, she "drew" a picture for Daddy.

The pretty picture Dassah drew. All the lines the same length and angle are where she hit the scroll and click buttons at the same time.

Dassah is able to pull herself up to a standing position!

My little Smiley!

More smiles.

Rista Cat doesn't realize she won't be safe up there for too much longer.

"I'm so cool."

Our little helper. Dassah tries to follow us around everywhere.

She is so happy all the time.

"I'm taking the car for a spin, Mom. Hope you don't mind."

I like seeing her smile.

Such a pretty smile.

Peeking over the edge of the couch at me. I don't know why the picture turned sideways, though.

Boxes are fun!

So messy.

"I think this is yours, Mommy."

Look at her go!
