The Cele-Brayden Circus & other notes of interest...

On Saturday, we took Hannah to her buddy Brayden's 1st birthday bash. Silly Mommy forgot her camera. Brayden's parents went all out, with lots of games for the kids (and adults), adorable table decorations, even a cotton candy machine! Hannah especially liked the next-door neighbor's trampoline. She liked the bouney house, too, but that was a little hard to get her in and out of since she's not qujite independent, plus we didn't want her to take away from the older kids' fun inside. With the full-sized trampoline, we could stand next to her on the ground and give just the right amount of support. She and her friend Karis loved bouncing with the big kids!!!!

Hannah clapped intentionally and audibly for the first time while she was hanging out with Daddy and our friend Richard. Ever since, she has discovered how much fun it is to clap-clap-clap. She has put her hands together, of course, but this is different. Her face lights up when she hears the "clap".

Our big girl stands up for longer time periods every day. She's stood for at least 20-30 seconds before falling back to her bottom or knees. She loves to climb the stairs (with Mommy behind her, of course).

When Daddy left for work this morning, she said "Ba ba" as she waved bye-bye!

Oh, yes... she continues to want what we eat. She usually refuses pureed baby veggies now and prefers munching on formerly-frozen veggies. It's amazing how much she can chew with those toothless gums! I was a meanie and wouldn't let her have cake at the party, but daddy might have snuck some to her. He tried to sneak her some cotton candy, but she spit it out like a good girl. Last night, she tried to drink her bowl of soup all by herself, dumping much of it in her lap in the process.
