The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Dillan has finally sung a whole song by himself! Usually he picks one line and sings that repeatedly (Jingle Bells, They all...fall...down!, You got a friend in me). Yesterday he sang all of The Itsy Bitsy Spider, by himself, with some of the hand motions! Priceless. Other funnys this week. Kyle has been teaching Dillan "Sham" "Wow." Kyle will say the first word and Dillan will say the second. Yesterday it went like this instead: "Sham" "Poo!" This morning the first thing Dillan talked about was going potty. The second thing he said was something like "Where's Mommy? (I was in bed, eavesdropping) Mommy at Bookclub. I wanna go to Bookclub." I am hosting bookclub this month, I guess I've been talking about it a lot!

Happy 2 Months Hazel

Dillan is learning to play by himself. What a great change! It's a little sad too, like he doesn't need me anymore. Hazel is learning to make sounds, hold her head up, and deal with having a big brother!

Off to church!

She finally noticed the mobile that's been dangling above her head for 2 months!

He looks so lonely, playing all by himself! But he's so satisfied with his project!

What a good big brother!

At first Dillan was telling her about Dragons and showing her the DVD case of "How to Train Your Dragon." She pays very close attention to Dillan.

Hazel, One Month

Dillan's funny quote of the week: Mom: "Will you put that in your toy box?" Dillan: "Uuuummmm....No way......No way"

Dillan is still adjusting to his little sister. He doesn't ever want to hold her, when he tells me he wants to hold her, he really just wants to take her away from me so I can play with him. He's learned to put the binky back in her mouth. Everything has to belong to someone. A few things are designated as Hazel's and everything else is Dillan's: the couch, the car, our blankets, wallets, phones...He still likes to have "tummy time" with Hazel, but he just plays on a big blanket, usually wrapping himself up in it.

Dillan likes to share with Hazel. That's his new basketball.
Can you "spot" the baby? Ha ha!

Baby blessing, February 6, 2011. I made Hazel's dress!

My Moby Wrap (I made it), Hazel's in there. This is how I get my grocery shopping done, with Dillan sitting in the cart.

Dillan still called that bowl "Grandma's helmet" weeks after she was gone.

Our first Sunday. Well, Hazel's first time attending church.

Tummy Time! And Hazel starring in her first video!

Grandpa Tanner's Visit

Dillan learned how to use Grandpa's camera. He is now a budding photographer. This picture was taken upside down orginally.

This is the end of Dillan's first photography exhibition.

Being gentle and trying to hold Hazel.

Climbing the Willamette University Football Stadium and watching the girls' softball team.

Grandpa built a temple (as requested by Dillan) with "angel Moroni" on top.

Bathtime!

Dillan wanted me to sit on his lap.
