Little Ladybug

Hannah was a ladybug on Halloween. She was super cute and didn't seem to mind being dressed up. We took her to our neighbors house in the cul de sac. With help she walked up to the houses and knowcked on the door. She had a good time. Both sets of grandparents were here to enjoy the fun. We know next year will be even more fun.

Hutto Parade, waiting

Every year the chity of Hutto has Hutto Olde Tyme Days. It includes a parade and then there a ton of booths that you can walk around. The whole family went to the parade. Hannah really liked the parade and would wave to people as they went buy. She would even wave when there was a lull in the parade and no one was in front of us. Here are a few pictures of Hannah and cousins waiting for the parade.

Kayla who is 4 held Hannah first and Hannah was just in aww of their stroller. Kalya is such a sweet girl and is so sweet with Hannah and gets so excited when Hannah does something new.

Hannah with Lindsey her older cousin. At 7 doing bunny ears is really funny. Hannah loves Lindsey. She will just talk to Lindsey, smile and kick her legs when Lindsey comes in the room and talks to her.

Haley, who is 2 had to hold Hannah because her sisters had held Hannah. Haley is really sweet with Hannah. I hope that they will be good friends when they get older.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch. Hannah wasn't real sure what to think about the pumpkins or what to do with them. She was a big fan of the hay though. But she did get to wear her new bow and shirt with a pumpkin on it and looked super cute.

You can't tell in this picture that she has a piece of hay sticking out of her mouth like a little farmer girl. We did have to eventually take it out before she swallowed it. I think she liked the hay much more than the pumpkins. Maybe next year will be different.

Hannah wasn't sure what to think of the pumpkins. Hannah wasn't going to give us a smile, but it's still cute.

Our latest family picture.

10 months old

Hannah is 10 months and this picture shows it all. She really didn't want Daddy taking her picture, plus it was bed time. Hannah is growing and changing all the time, it is hard to keep up with all that she is doing from one month to the next. Hannah lets go of whatever she is holding onto and stands in place for a bit and she is also taking steps. She took 12 steps on Monday (10/19/09). She is just becoming more and more brave all of the time. Hannah has such a sweet spirit about her. She will just pat and pat you on your back, this she has been doing for a while now. I love getting her up in the morning, she is so happy and so excited to start her day. I usually sing a little song to her and she just bounces and claps her hands. Hannah is constantly talking, what she is saying I am not sure. She will say Daddy and Mama, mostly daddy. Hannah has the wave down and will really get it going when she gets excited. She has said "bye bye" a time or two. When I took her to the doctor on 10/20/09 she weighed in at 25 pounds. And then flu shot didn't make her cry it was afterwards when the nurse wiped it before putting the bandage on it. She didn't cry long and was a very good girl for the whole thing. Hannah is a very, very active baby. Sitting still doesn't come very often, usually only at naps or night time. Hannah doesn't leave her socks or shoes on while in the car, taking her socks off is a new thing that she has learned and will clap because she is just so proud of herself. Hannah is starting to notice people she doesn't know and will put her head down on whoever is holding her like she is shy. She does warm up after a bit. Hannah has also learned to stick out her tongue courtesy of her dad. Hannah loves her cousins. She just lights up and tries to crawl after them as quickly as possible. Hannah will just play and talk with her cousins when they are around. Hannah loves music. She will dance when the phone rings or music comes on the tv or we sing. We can't say enough how much we love Hannah and how grateful we are that Hannah is in our lives. She has changed our world and we wouldn't change that for anything. Hannah is an incredibly sweet and loving baby.

I couldn't resist taking pictures of Hannah this morning/evening. She looked so cute. This first picture is this evening when she was playing with her stoller/walker. She got it stuck at the wall. She didn't seem to mind too much though.

These three pictures were from this morning before we left the house. It was fun putting winterish clothing on her. Yesterday she wore rompers. What a difference a day makes.

A walking we will go

On Thursday, October 3rd we got out a little walker for Hannah after she tried to push the big girl stroller at my parents house. She pushed that walker all over the house and ran into walls and would get so frustrated when she couldn't get the walker moved away from the wall. Hannah took 3 steps on Saturday, October 3rd. It hasn't happened since then. On Monday Nana bought Hannah her first stroller/walker. We put it together and once it was she walked every where. She would watch her cousins when they would walk off playing with her walker.

She went into Nana and Pop's study and got her stroller/walker stuck on the desk, but she was able to go in there and take it away from her cousins. She's a mess. Hannah things she is hot stuff.

Peek A Boo

Hannah thinks that she is a big girl crawling into her bouncy seat. She doesn't want to be put in it, but will get in there on her own. One she was in she looked through and just smiled and laughed and did that over and over, playing peek a boo.

Hannah just continued to play in there and got her legs in there good. She was so funny to watch trying to get in and out of there.

Sitting with the toys

Hannah thought she was big stuff, after trying and trying to get in this pink basket that has some of her toys in it.

9 Months and growing

Hannah is 9 months old now. She just keeps growing and changing. Hannah is such a happy baby, I don't think I can say that enough. She is so sweet, has the sweetest smile. Hannah seems to be learning a new "trick" all the time. She can clap and loves to clap at herself. She will tell us "more", which is big step. Hannah keeps us busy with going everywhere, we have started closing doors because she thinks it's so much fun to go where she's not supposed to, plus she's so curious. She likes to play get you, she'll crawl away a little bit and then stops and looks to see who is going to get her. When you start to chase her she just stars laughing so hard she goes flat on her tummy. Hannah will crawl under the coffee table and go around the couch to the side table and go under there and wait until someone looks at her and she laughs because she is so proud of herself. Hannah pulls herself up onto everything she can and walks around it. If it's something that can move she tries to push it and move it. When Hannah gets out of the bath, she will put the towel over her face to play peek a boo and she will do the same thing when she has a longer shirt or dress on. Hannah does talk a lot. We wonder what she is saying sometimes and know the days of none stop talking are to come. This is just a such a fun age. She gets excited to see us when we've been apart or just when waking up in the morning or from a nap. Mornings are a fun time to cuddle and just spend quality time. Even feeding times are sweet times not to take for granted. I'm not sure what the best part of the day with Hannah is. I mean each is a time to cherish. Bed time is a time I look forward to as well. Not because she's going to bed, but because we get to rock Hannah to sleep. She just lays her head on our shoulder, puts her fingers in her mouth and we just sing and rock her to sleep. It's hard to put her down in bed at times. Hannah is such a sweet baby and I thank God every day that she is in my life.

Just a swinging

It was a nice morning so Hannah and I took a walk down to the neighborhood playground. Hannah loves to be outside and enjoys swinging. Here are a few pictures from out mini outing.

Good looks

Last Wednesday was my mother in laws birthday. We went over to celebrate with her. We had a great time, so I had to post a few pictures of Hannah. As you can tell Hannah had a good time. She tried real carrots and real squash, which she ate no problem. I have posted a picture of Hannah with her grandmother (Mimmee) and as you can see this is where she gets her looks from, as well as from Wes.

Having a good laugh.

I look like Mimmee

Yes I look like my dad.

Fluff

I never imagined that we would have a dark, curly hair baby girl, but I do and I love it. It's hard not to mess with Hannah's hair, so from time to time Wes and I fluff Hannah's hair. Here are a couple of pictures from the other night.

Sept. 10, 2009

Hannah is 8 months and 3 weeks. Time really does fly by. Hannah is a busy little girl. She is getting into everything. She is quickly learning the word "NO" and doesn't always like to hear it and other times she turns and gives a big smile and laughs. She really is a bundle of joy. I feel blessed to be her mom. We are having a lot of fun with her. She walks while holding onto something, such as the coffee table, couch and so on. Recently she has started to point at people, strangers and people she knows. A few days ago she has starged growling. It's really cute.
