Dress "up"

It wa sa cold and rainy say and we had to stay inside. So, what does a little girl and her mommy do to keep entertained? Play dress up of course.

This is Hannah in her tutu and riding her horse, like a little princess that she is.

Hananh loves her baby dolls.

Hannah got a pair of Wes' shorts and decided that she needed to put them on. Or try to. Here are a few pictures of her "wearing" his shorts.

Hannah was so proud of herself for putting the shorts on her head. She just laghed and laughed at herself.

Hannah likes to put blankets around her head or shoulders and just walk around the house.

Lunch in the Park

We went to the park to have lunch with Wes. Hannah hasn't eaten her lunch outside before or played in the park really. Hannah loved it. She got to see a lot of people walking by on the patch while she ate lunch, she thought that they were all there to see her and couldn't figure out why they just kept walking and where they were going.

This is Hannah going down the slide "alone". She really like the slide.

Hannah seemed to really like the purple dinasour.

Not "HO HO HO" Santa

We finally had Hannah's picture taken with "Santa". This is actually Wes' dad. You would think that it wouldn't bother her, she watched him put his Santa costume on. She was freaked out as you can see. This from a child who thinks everyone is her friend and goes up to everyone to "talk" or play with them.

It just breaks my heart to look at her so upset. I have to admit I am glad that I wasn't there for this picture, I don't think we would have gotten any taken.

Twas the Days Before Christmas

This year getting ready for Christmas and all that the festivities was completely different than last year. I say it a lot, but a year ceratinly does make a difference. We spent a lot of the Christmas holiday's with family. Hannah like the tree, loved touching the ornaments that she knew she wasn't supposed to touch and would try fairly often, especially when we had visitors. We did eventually move the ornaments up the tree, out of reach of little hands.

We went to spend some time at my parents house while they had my neices over to bake cookies. We didn't help with the cookies, but Hannah did dress the part like her cousins did. The apron is an apron from some stuffed animal.

I love these p.j.'s, we got them from Wes' cousins who live in Australia. I couldn't wait to put htem on her, we got them during their "Christmas". She was truely "Santa's Helper".

I love this face. I don't know where she learned to make that face, but she has done it since she was real little. It's really cute. Wes said that she has seen me do it, I don't know about that, but this little girl is so adorable and yes, I know she is mine.

We did Christmas with Wes' family a few days before Christmas. She didn't care so much about the actual presents that she received, but LOVED the ribbon. She held onto that ribbon and walked around the room over and over and over again. Tell me again why we spent all that money on the "real" girfts?

Remembering the Good Old Days

Hannah climbed into this car seat while we were at church. I think she was remanicing of the good old days of when she was in an infant carseat. She grew out of hers so quickly. She stayed in it for a while before climbing back out.

Just chillin' in the seat. Oh those were the days!

So Much to be Thankful For

This was Hannah's first Thanksgiving. It was so much fun to have her. We stayed home this year and spent Thanksgiving with my family. We went to my grandmother and Aunt's house. Everything was really good. Hannah was full of herself as usual. She wasn't having any part of a nap, but we certainly did try. She walked around the house and everyone took a turn on folling her around making sure she wasn't getting into anything she wasn't supposed to.

This is a picture of my mom, Grandmother (Nana, who is 90), Hannah and I. We have to take advantage of these precious moments! Hannah has amazing women to look up to.

We take a picture of Hannah with her great grandmother every time we visit her. We try to visit her as much as possible.
I love this picture of Hannah. She stopped for 2 seconds and the camera actually worked fast enough to take this picture. I just love my little "monkey".

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.
