We were going to use last year's tree,

but Boo made a rule that from now on our

Christmas tree has to be taller than Ha Jyn.

I agree.

Seeing that we both top out at about 5'3 I don't really see

to big of trees in our future!

In other news it was discovered how hard getting a

few simple Christmas photos can be....

One second it's this

and a half second later...

I tried a second day to get a better shot,

but the lighting was no good and Ha Jyn was

wanting nothing to do with it.

Ha Jyn is now 11 months old!

This last month was big changes for her.

She now crawls and gets into EVERYTHING!
It is like my best friend Kelli says,

"When they are babies all you want them to do is walk and talk.

When they get older all you want them to do is to sit down and shut up!"

With her new found independence Ha Jyn loves to investigate and

much like her mother if food is involved she suddenly appears right next to you. She eats everything. She even likes Kim Chi!

She also loves to be dramatic. (she must get that from her father!)

Changing her diaper has become an Olympic sport.

She no longer signs for "more" instead she grunts or fake cries.

All in all she is a very happy kid.

And more than anything she loves to be around other kids.

Here she is with her best buddy Celine.

They know how to PARTY!

We finally sold our table and now Ha Jyn has her play room.

Thanks Granny J for the Santa slippers!

Our new crooked curtains.

I got this fabric for way cheap on clearance at IKEA.

To be honest it was the 1st time I have bought fabric and I sorta

forgot about how the fabric is folded. So I basically bought twice as much as I needed.

Oh well lets just say I have found ways to get rid.... I mean use the rest of it.
