New Tricks

Hattie has been working very hard lately at developing a few new tricks!  About 2 weeks ago she started really grabbing for things, not just batting at them.  I still remember cooking in the kitchen and hearing the music this little flower makes, when Ainslee pulled it for the first time (it feels like yesterday!).  Ainslee and I got so excited when Hattie did it for the first time.  Ainslee kept praising her, it was super cute!

Here is the look of determination:

 Got it!

 As you can see, she is quite pleased with herself

Hattie has also become strong and steady enough to start sitting in the bumbo seat.  Ainslee is a bit jealous of this trick, as she has become quite fond of the bumbo herself (yes, she still fits in it).

Here's a little trick Hattie Cakes can do with her hair!

And last, but certainly not least, Hattie learned how to roll over on Veteran's Day (Nov.11th)!  We were spending the day with G-Ma, since Daddy and Grandpa were both out of town.  I laid Hattie on her tummy to show G-Ma just how much she despised tummy time, and she just rolled right over!  Of course I did not have my camera, but here is a little photo sequencing so you get the idea. :)

Hattie, we are so proud of you!  But really, if you want to just stay my tiny little baby forever, your mommy would really appreciate it!
