Wear silly hats while you can

Yesterday when we went to the park, I put an especially silly and bright hat on Annabelle. She looks adorable in it. It was quite shady where we were swinging, so Chris kept trying to get me to take the hat off Annabelle. I think he was slightly self-conscious for her!

But I wouldn't take it off her. This is the only time, besides when she's an old lady, that she can wear silly little hats without caring or being embarrassed. So I say, bring on the funny hats! She's too cute in them.

Annabelle has had a wonderful week. She's still not crawling, but she's into everything. I just weighed her a little while ago, and she is coming in at 17.8 pounds! Big girl! She is adorable. This morning on our walk, she had a 30-minute conversation with herself. It sounded quite important and interesting. She is a very smiley little girl, although you'd never guess that from the pictures we take. I love it when she's really excited and smiles so big, she wrinkles up her little nose. And shows us her two little teeth!
