The Harris Family

Hats.

We were led to believe that babies love hats. Wherever we go, we see infants with cute little hats on, reclining docilely in their carriers, sleeping quietly.

Not Elsa. Elsa hates hats. If you put one on, she’ll squirm around until the hat is off. Pretty much the same for socks, mittens, and anything else remotely removable. This episode’s set of pictures includes a cute vignette of Elsa delighting in her flowered hat.

Also this week, we tried out Elsa’s new rubber ducky bath tub for the first time. It’s inflatable, and quacks when you touch the nose. It was pretty successful; Elsa likes warm bath water. The process of getting her out of the bath, on the other hand, is something Lynne and I haven’t fully optimized yet, and the transition out of the ducky was not seamless. Elsa is not shy about letting us know when she doesn’t like something, although she’s getting better about not always crying, but instead loudly “talking” to us to express displeasure.

We put Elsa back on her blanket recently to visualize how much bigger she’s gotten in the six weeks since we took the original blanket photo. You’ll find that photo in this set as well.

Elsa – Week 11

Last week, I finally went back to work, so hopefully the flow of photos and videos won’t slow down too much. We have a few things in the hopper that we’ll post when we have a few more free minutes.
