Trying to get a smile at the same time. Almost!
"Hazel, where are you going?"
"Okay, Mom, I'll smile for you!"The kids are doing great. Here are a few facts about them:
Hazel recently started babbling. The day she turned 10 months, she was only saying mama. She only said it though as part of a whimper cry that she does before she goes down for a nap. "Whimper, whimper whimper, hmmmma. Whimper, whimper, whimper, hmmmma. hmmamama". Now she also says, "baba, gaga, aga, ahhh", and occasionally, "da". She opens and closes her mouth a lot, trying to say "ba", but a lot of times no sound comes out. It's pretty funny.
She LOVES Cheerios, but is not too interested in most purees.
She HATES sleeping and this is a daily battle (naps and bed time) and no longer sleeps through the night. She will not "cry it out". We have tried...numerous times...and are tired of the several hour scream fests that take place.
Jude is having an occasional sound come out of his mouth too! It's usually either, ma, ba, or da.
Jude is a CHAMPION sleeper at night. He usually sleeps a little over 12 hours without a peep! However, he takes 40 minute naps, which is quite frustrating (especially since Hazel's naps are much longer...when she actually goes to sleep).
Jude has a new found love for screaming (for joy), which (I admit) gets under my skin, big time. He's SO loud!
Jude is doing great with purees and eats pretty much anything we give him. He's not ready for the Cheerios yet though (he chokes).
Well, I better leave it at that since I have 2 screaming babies calling to get out of bed. One slept. The other didn't.

Hi Noel and Heidi and Jude and Hazel too:) We are amazed how Big your children are getting and how well they are doing in their developing stages:) We are so glad to hear that you all made it to your new home and calling.
Have you tried any nature sound cds to help Hazel to go to sleep? We have a 10 cd set that I could send you. You could give it a try if you have not already.
Just fb us and I will get them to you asap.

That was one of my favorite posts. You captured daily life perfectly! Don't worry...they say it gets easier. Although I think that's when they're out of college, so we only have another 20+ years. Ha! :)
Your little kiddos are adorable! Your honesty is beautiful and you are champion parents! Thanks so much for sharing. Glad to hear all of you are well. :)
Okay, my favorite part of that post was Hazel's skinny jeans- so cute. All baby girls should be required to wear skinny jeans- I just love them!
We can't wait to 'see' you via skype here soon. Happy 10 month birthday Hazel and Jude!! They are soooooo cute and we are encouraged they still remember us as 'aga'. =) hehe. We hope you have a wonderful Sunday....
Love,
Christen & Tony, and Baby Bordenkircher
