Sitting Up and Rolling Over - All in One Weekend!

Thanksgiving with the Habers

She Says Dada!

She's been saying it for the last two days. Pete says she's been saying "mommy" for a long time, but I've never heard it. She CLEARLY says dada. I'm not sure she necessarily associates it with Pete, but she just loves to rattle it off over and over. We've tried to get it on video, but whenever we've put the camera on her she stops talking and just stares at it.

Playing "Boo!"

Baby Loves Disco

We went to event in SF today called "Baby Loves Disco." They open a night club in the afternoon for the kiddies and have a DJ spinning 70's tunes. Hana had a blast. All her favorite things - people, music, lights. There is also face painting and other activities for the older kids. Here is a video of Hana dancing - she's really kicking her legs around, just like she does in music class.

Some pics

Here is Hana in her high chair, practicing what it will be like to eat with us at the table. And the other picture is of Hana in her winter fleece, playing outside on the deck.

5 Months

Hana turned 5 months old this past Tuesday. The time has just flown by. She's still changing every day. She took a hiatus from her constant babbling for about 2 weeks, but now is talking non-stop again. Her teeth are now too sharp to let her chew on our hands. She's able to sit on her own now for about 15 or 20 seconds if I help her get balanced. And the sleeping is getting better - I've learned that instead of picking her up and nursing her every time she wakes up during the night, if I just let her fuss for 2 or 3 minutes she goes back to sleep on her own. Hallelujah!

Our friend Mike from Philly was in town and came to visit last night. Pete was out, and when he first held her I think she thought he was Pete. But a couple minutes later she looked at with me with the "Wait - This is not my dad - you tried to put one over on me!" look and started crying. She's usually good with strangers, but when she thinks we're trying to trick her, it doesn't go over so well. :)

More pics to come soon.
