To: Mom From: Hannah
Dear Mom,
So we've gotten to know each other pretty well over the past 10 months and I've got to say... overall, you're like the best mom I've ever had. However, I feel as though there are several changes that need to be made in order for us to grow closer. So instead of waiting another 10 months for you to figure them out... I've made a short list (Dad taught me how to make lists).
1. I have pretty much mastered napping now. At 10am and 2pm everyday you'll find me in my crib. So, give me some credit when occasionally I decide not to nap. Maybe I'm just not in the mood to take a snoozer every once in awhile. During these times, why don't you think back to all of the times that I have napped and just be content with that.
2. You've started to notice that I am not in the best mood from 4pm-5pm. This has come to be known as the "witching hour." At this time, here are the things that will make me happy: Feed me or take me for a walk. Nothing else will work... not playing peek-a-boo, not changing my diaper, not reading a book, not even tickling. So just get over it and stop trying.
3. I love the bath. I will stay in the bathtub until I've turned into a giant prune (which are quite tasty by the way). I really appreciate you playing with me until my heart's content... but, quit dumping water over my head. This I do not like. I don't care that you need to get the soap out of my hair, find another way to do it.
4. Speaking of soap... I HATE IT WHEN YOU WIPE MY FACE. As you can see from the pictures below, I am just fine with food (especially blueberry) all over my face. This includes my nose. I know that it has been extremely snotty the past few days, but I'm ok with crusty boogies.
5. Please let me climb the stairs whenever I'd like. I can get up them on my own without your supervision. And quit trying to teach me how to get down them. I have no need for that talent just yet. I just want to get up them so I can "squawk" from the top and here it echo throughout the stairwell.
Ok mom, I know this sounds harsh, but I tell you these things because I love you! You're my best friend. Ok, I lied, Lily is really my best friend, but your like my second best. Tied with Dad:)
Love,
Hannah

Hold on.... I'm coming.
So in case you haven't noticed.. I'm having a hard time posting pictures on the blog lately. I'm trying to figure out what is going on and I'll get some up soon. And for those of you who would rather have a really witty post instead... I'm working on that too. Not that I think that I am witty, I'm just quoting a few readers who have told me they think I am. Ok, now I'm rambling. More later!

She's on the move!
So I am having a lot of trouble posting pics to the blog lately. Those will come some. Until then, here are a couple of things I am learning now that Hannah is crawling.
1. My mind is now constantly thinking of ways to contain her while still allowing her to be free to roam. For example, would it be cruel to set up one of those zipline things in the house and just attach her to it? That way, she could still crawl around but could only go on the path that I set up for her. I'm going to invent something and put it up on Ebay and see what I can get for it. Any takers?
2. The dishwasher is no longer a household appliance... it is now a climbing apparatus. Forget all of the toys and tupperware lying around the kitchen floor. It is much more fun to climb in/on and around the dishwasher. Especially if it is full of dirty dishes! And some how, every time she gets into the silverware part of it she grabs a knife. Don't worry... I'm always right there to get it from her.
3. The dog food bowl is a baby magnet. And so is the dog these days. But seriously... I am constantly moving the dog's food bowl to different places and she always finds it. She's like the Sherlock Holmes of dog food. Unfortunately, the dog does not possess the same skill and most of the time it's not until I hear her stomach growling that I realize she has no idea where her food is. However, I have also realize that baby barf is a dog magnet.
4. Other things that are amazing to a nine month old who now crawls: Stairs (she has learned to climb up them... now we need to figure out how she'll get down), fireplaces, baby gates, her reflection in the shiny oven door, and cords of any kind. Yes, I realize pretty much all of these things are dangerous.
5. Walking is soon to come! I don't think I'm ready for this at all. Neither is the house, dog or husband. She's growing up way too fast!! Next she'll be running around, riding a bike, driving and all of those other things you do once you know how to walk.
