Splish Spash Into 10 Months

Dear Kiddos, 

We have had a pretty fun week with visitors and lots and lots of pool time. Let's start off with the beginning of the blog week when we visited Daddy at work. Nathan, you love the pizza, and Hannah, you usually get the quesadillas or grilled cheese. We need to remember to order more onion rings because apparently everyone in the family (except for Hailey, for now) loves onion rings. (Just the AMD ones because we ordered onion rings this weekend and none of you guys liked those. 

Of course, when we visit Daddy at work, we also make the obligatory visit to the arcade down in the basement. Nathan, you are getting pretty good at skee ball. And Hannah, it is totally fine that you are still working on making sure the ball gets past the initial hump.

On Friday, we completed a service project to serve meals on wheels. You guys decorated food bags that will be delivered to people who utilize the services of meals on wheels. 

 Auntie Momo and Shelby came to visit for a few days. We played board games and I've noticed that Hannah really enjoys being the "banker." You are not very interested in playing, but you will distribute resources and take money for about 45 minutes before you become uninterested and slowly migrate a way.

 Nathan and Hannah both don't like Shelby too much. Nathan is allergic to her and Hannah is just afraid. Hailey, on the other hand LOVES Shelby and will screach when she sees her.

So Hailey officially turns 10 months old this week! You are sitting up. Saying "baba, mama" even on cue. You are sleeping from 8:00 to about 10:45, take a quick feed and then sleep until 2:30, which you wake for another feed and then you sleep until about 7:00 to 7:30. Your naps are still pretty horrible. You are still waking up after 30 minutes. Sometimes you will go back down, sometimes you don't. I'm enforcing an hour rest time, and I don't get you until that hour is up. 

 We were so lucky to receive a new to us kitchen. Hannah has really enjoyed this kitchen and will spend about half of the day playing in the kitchen.

 Even Hailey likes to join in on the action.

 Yesterday we drove up to Round Rock to go visit a friend. The babies played well and interacted so addorably

 You looked at each other, talked to each other, danced with each other and shared puzzle pieces with each other.

 The neighborhood pool also had a splash pad, so now we can check that off of our bucket list.

 And then this morning, another friend came over and we swam at the pool for a bit. I have to give the following photos credit to A. Lemon.

 Hailey loves being thrown up in the air. I used to dunk you in the water, but you let me know that you don't like that anymore, so I've stopped for now.

 Before I sign off for the week, here are 3 pool photos of all three of you from when you were about 10 months old.

 Grandma and Grandpa will be here in a few days, so I'm sure things will be exciting. Until next week,
Love,
Mommy
