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.
