It's been raining non stop for the past few weeks, so we've been doing some fun projects inside to occupy our time. I've taken a short break from painting and decided to work on my craftiness skills. I wish I could sew better. I enjoy it only when things go well. If I'm constantly ripping out seams I get frustrated and want to scrap whatever I'm working on. This week I decided to try a few sewing projects and they actually went well. I'm excited to find more sewing projects. I may even attempt to make my own curtains for our dining room. <br />

Ever since I got the phone in August I never get on our home computer. Why would I need to when I can everything so much easier on the go on my phone. Life has been busy since August. We had so much fun this summer swimming and camping. Blake's parents moved from Washington to Idaho in September, so Hannah and I braved the long car ride all by ourselves. We stopped once for gas and lunch, but otherwise we were on the road having fun. Once we got to Idaho Blake's sisters drove up and Blake flew in to meet us after a business trip. Fall was great. Hannah LOVES leaves. She was obsessed with picking up as many as she could hold in both hands. It would take us forever to walk to the mailbox because there were leaves along the way that just needed to be picked up. Hannah finally started walking at 14 1/2 months. She was so comfortable being carried everywhere she didn't really need to walk. We like to call her our lazy baby. She knew how to walk pushing her baby stroller for months and months, but was so hesitant to walk without any support. Halloween was so fun. Hannah was Minnie Mouse, and actually went trick or treating to a few of the neighbors houses. Thanksgiving was spent in Idaho with Blake's family. It was so fun to be with all of his family again for a week. Christmas was great spending time with my family and not traveling out of the state. Since Christmas we have been busy decorating and organizing our new house. We decided to start looking for a new house in October, found one three weeks later, put an offer on it, sold our house 4 days after that, and moved 2 days after Christmas. I will never move around the holidays again. The nice part was that Blake was home for the break, and we were in town for Christmas this year, but Christmas just didn't feel the same as in years past. It felt rushed so that we could pack up and move. We love our new house. It's 1 mile from our last house, in the same ward boundaries, we have great neighbors, more privacy, a bigger backyard, and more square footage. It's funny to see the inside because 3 of the rooms have no furniture. In due time. I'll post pictures of the house soon.<br />

My brother was in town last week from Germany, so Hannah and I tagged along with my brother and parents to Seattle for the day. Hannah loves her uncle Justin. She met him earlier this summer when we were all in California, but she loved him even more this last time he was in Seattle. We walked around Pike Place Market, did some shopping, rode the carousal, and ate at Ivar's with all the seagulls. Hannah loved the carousal ride, and was very intrigued by all the seagull at Ivar's on the pier.

This past weekend we took our first family vacation. Where did we go?.....camping along the Washington coast. Every year Blake and I suggest going somewhere over the long weekend, but by the time we actually get around to planning something it's too late. This year we got online early, reserved a camp site, and kept our fingers crossed for nice weather. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The sun was shining, the ocean was surprisingly warm, Hannah loved the beach and did great sleeping in a tent, Lucy was in heaven being in the woods and water, and the best part was no cell phones or internet for 2 days. Blake and I had some great talks around the fire with no interruptions from phones, we were able to play games, and just enjoy each others company. Life has become so focused on "being connected" but it's really important to unplug from the world every once in a while. We had such a great time, we may have started a new family tradition of camping every Labor Day weekend.

At Hannah's last appointment with her pediatrician, she suggested that I start letting Hannah feed herself with a spoon and fork. Of course that gave me a little anxiety with how messy things can get, but doctors orders. Here was our first attempt with yogurt. Hannah thought it was fun and did fairly well.

I can't believe that our love bug will be "1" on the 31st. Where has
the time gone?! With each milestone, it's bittersweet. I miss some
things about her being little, but at the same time I'm also so grateful
for the stage we're at now. This past weekend we celebrated her
birthday with family and friends. I went a little crazy with learning
new skills, and putting them to the test for her party. I knew she
wouldn't remember her first birthday, but my philosophy was if I never
have another girl I wanted to make sure I made this the best girl
birthday party ever. I took a cake decorating class and learned how to
work with fondant. I learned how to make tissue paper pom poms at a
mutual activity. I made stuffed animal owl party favors, inspired by
someone selling them on Etsy. Best of all, inspired by Pinterest, I
made a tulle tu-tu and a fabric cake and sewed it on a onesie for
Hannah's birthday outfit. It was all a lot of work, but so fun at the
same time. Hannah had a blast with cousins and friends and she loves
all of her new toys. <br />

It's finally summer here in Washington, so Hannah and I have had a few play dates at the local outdoor pool. I think Blake felt left out, so we went last night. The water was warm, but the air was cool so our swim was short. Hannah loves the pool, so I'm sure her and I will be going again soon.

We had great intentions to join in on the festivities, but when we checked locations to camp everything was taken. Instead we stayed in town and hiked Saturday, went to Yakima to visit Blake's parents Sunday, and had a BBQ with friends on Monday. By Tuesday, we were tired. Hiking was so much fun. It was Hannah's first time, so I was curious to see how she did. She loved it, but then again what's not to love when you're carried around for 7 miles. Lucy had a great time too. She loves being outside in the woods. When we got to the top of the mountain we had our picnic and enjoyed the sights of the waterfall. The way down was the funniest part of all. Lucy was wet from the hike up, but fairly clean. Until she saw the biggest area of mud. She literally went up to it, laid down, and then proceeded to roll around a few times. She was completely covered. Hannah made us laugh coming down the mountain as well. She was making noise and kicking around, and then all of a sudden she was silent and her head was down. She had fallen asleep.

We thought she would never master "commercial baby crawling" but she surprised us a few weeks ago. She getting really fast, and likes to get into everything. Today I had the laptop on the floor and I turned my head for one second, she grabbed the top of it, her hand slipped and her eye met the laptop. She's usually tough when it comes to hurting herself, but this one made her cry and left a mark. I felt soooo bad.

There was this adorable cherry stocking cap that went with it, but the weather has gotten too warm for that, so I made a headband that matched.

Lucy's birthday was back on April 22nd. There's this local pet store called Paddywacks that have these special birthday dog treats, so we picked out one that looked like a cupcake for Lucy's big day. I thought the birthday hat was only fitting for a picture :)

The time has gone by so fast. It makes me sad sometimes to think how big she's getting. I keep reminding myself to cherish each day with her because the day will come soon enough when she doesn't want me to snuggle and rock her to sleep. I think that will be the thing I miss most as she gets older. She is such a snuggle bug and I love that about her. Hannah is at such a fun stage in life. She has such a little personality that makes me laugh. She will chuckle when you tickle her. She's big enough to sit in her stroller without the car seat attached; she loves to look out and see where we're going. She has two little chicklet teeth on the bottom. She will eat just about anything you give her, especially ice cream and Greek yogurt. She's starting to warm up to my dad, and that's a big feat for her. She loves the sunshine. There for a while she acted like it was going to burn her eyeballs. Now each sunny day we have a play date in the backyard with toys and Lucy. She loves Lucy and I can't wait to see her chase Lucy around in the backyard. They're such good pals.
I took these pictures about 3 weeks ago, before her teeth started to show.

Being a mom has apparently made me think I can do that often. For example, the last time I was at Babies R Us I had Hannah in her Sleepy Wrap and someone was checking us out. I decided that I would let her know that the Sleep Wrap is the best and that we use it all the time. Did she ask me about it-no, maybe she wanted to and I beat her to it. So I've decided to share a few of my favorite things with all of you. They include the BOB stroller- the best jogging stroller, a food processor, Kaboom shower cleaner-I just tried it today and it works like magic, 4oz jelly jars to can your own baby food, Pinterest, the Disney channel, the Sleepy Wrap- thanks Mikell and Heidi, online shopping-great deals, better selections, and less traffic, Pampers diapers, the Garmin Forerunner watch, Smartcare shirts-they sell them at Nordstroms and we only buy them during the men's sale but they really are WRINKLE FREE, the Cuisinart homemade ice cream maker, Chobani greek yogurt, and the Sonicare toothbrush- we got one for Christmas and it really is as great as they say.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850761242610113141.post-39683016165156188192012-03-04T15:49:00.002-08:002012-03-04T16:02:44.240-08:007 MonthsWhat can I say about that sweet face....just that she really is sweet! She has really set the bar high for siblings to follow. She loves to snuggle, smiles all the time, says mama, plays well with her toys so I can get stuff done, watches the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on my lap in the morning, thinks dancing is fun, enjoys car rides, loves baths and showers, and loves to eat. She does hate to be put down for naps. If she had it her way she would stay up all day just to make sure she wouldn't miss out on anything. She isn't crawling yet, but I'm waiting in anticipation that it will be soon. I have the video camera charged and waiting on the kitchen counter to capture the big moment. She scoots backwards and does get on all fours, but that's all for now.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT11lUpbijhqocbJ6G75vyR8QPpmtcYgJtDTYgxbjF-Ik8D-Z5P0w-irs8jJ3xggyS3kUjG9LQkCbA5V4aoqb9oFZbgtVQTworb2RPggqLqRtmOlS-32QitoSFez9iA8vLMUdDx-RgMZhb/s1600/DSC08372.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT11lUpbijhqocbJ6G75vyR8QPpmtcYgJtDTYgxbjF-Ik8D-Z5P0w-irs8jJ3xggyS3kUjG9LQkCbA5V4aoqb9oFZbgtVQTworb2RPggqLqRtmOlS-32QitoSFez9iA8vLMUdDx-RgMZhb/s400/DSC08372.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716193983482370898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtKu8nCYXEk-3H1Wj6gsjNHxRSvV0bnZLgpYJdKU_olf1qJaOFUty9q2NTAtjdaK81W2yTJSgCIhIyWN59PSwuRJ7dNh9nyulTEn1Wes6FfNg7bRNpS75TH6kvIUu2BGGj43P7favysMM/s1600/DSC08377.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtKu8nCYXEk-3H1Wj6gsjNHxRSvV0bnZLgpYJdKU_olf1qJaOFUty9q2NTAtjdaK81W2yTJSgCIhIyWN59PSwuRJ7dNh9nyulTEn1Wes6FfNg7bRNpS75TH6kvIUu2BGGj43P7favysMM/s400/DSC08377.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716193989066256306" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850761242610113141.post-83656407130661872762012-03-04T15:33:00.003-08:002012-03-04T15:48:23.177-08:00Seeing Herself<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHeQbD3BuDV-X2I9C5EBT1gmMh8B_gOxEdT6KSiazqshqL1O8xSZqR6UEt34S-YF3TUDq2lyyf6XeNEK3LY_GOcfTMJ7KACC0n2DgvzKRqg3rwndN85a5AAzTr0u7MCcVgCbVZcupzmY8j/s1600/DSC08354.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHeQbD3BuDV-X2I9C5EBT1gmMh8B_gOxEdT6KSiazqshqL1O8xSZqR6UEt34S-YF3TUDq2lyyf6XeNEK3LY_GOcfTMJ7KACC0n2DgvzKRqg3rwndN85a5AAzTr0u7MCcVgCbVZcupzmY8j/s400/DSC08354.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716192678519120706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXEKutajvuP0acS1RU4LjJvrAgDEQTtPgGD7MLnDTGcXqG9WS_nF4zhZvOmjXrvp2dglt_WDD_sSVW0FaU4ZstNauLDIJap1Y-Q7YYrevaIi8c6ESiDHQxdK0EcgL9jXTVQ5E2Lo_Z_n-d/s1600/DSC08353.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXEKutajvuP0acS1RU4LjJvrAgDEQTtPgGD7MLnDTGcXqG9WS_nF4zhZvOmjXrvp2dglt_WDD_sSVW0FaU4ZstNauLDIJap1Y-Q7YYrevaIi8c6ESiDHQxdK0EcgL9jXTVQ5E2Lo_Z_n-d/s400/DSC08353.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716192673100497026" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7KpDeXY-jMG-Zz251sYvoHdJa_vleNzXdN04ml66s8Urztmz-reF1NLqnHQ8gshhURjFn2u9SnhZGxyN5e0KEYCICVjF2WMCowlZ3C-_Rw03EHEACa1I4VJgpyXtHQfg-AWkKBaG5Ygo-/s1600/DSC08349.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7KpDeXY-jMG-Zz251sYvoHdJa_vleNzXdN04ml66s8Urztmz-reF1NLqnHQ8gshhURjFn2u9SnhZGxyN5e0KEYCICVjF2WMCowlZ3C-_Rw03EHEACa1I4VJgpyXtHQfg-AWkKBaG5Ygo-/s400/DSC08349.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716192666394873698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU7OEll2Ikr9OXR20qbQrKfdST0k9u7aITY7oPDKlzxXJydzcJS0z152StuDukGa12mm-1CJjLXVJIpuW7YPHTGf9akkD9XGR9G2pjwjHjSIzL-5GZy-G5ZrKXioxXZKcxMscNktuF01OW/s1600/DSC08357.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU7OEll2Ikr9OXR20qbQrKfdST0k9u7aITY7oPDKlzxXJydzcJS0z152StuDukGa12mm-1CJjLXVJIpuW7YPHTGf9akkD9XGR9G2pjwjHjSIzL-5GZy-G5ZrKXioxXZKcxMscNktuF01OW/s400/DSC08357.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716192688440090050" /></a><br />How fun is it when your baby notices their reflection in the mirror?!

It's amazing how much changes from month to month with this girl. I think from month 5-6 has been the hardest for me. At the beginning of last month I was happy with how well things were starting to settle. Hannah was like clockwork with her naps, she was starting to sleep consistently through the night, and I could get caught up on sleep. The past 2 weeks have been a nightmare, ending with tears from me on most nights. She has always loved to be swaddled, still to this day. The downfall to her liking to be swaddled is that she now rolls over onto her tummy, but not back over very well. You can imagine what that must be like when your on your tummy and your hands aren't free. It turns into a constant battle during her naps. I'm forever going into her room to turn her back over. She hasn't figured out that she can sleep on her belly if she turns her head to the side. The funny thing about this post is that I wrote all of this yesterday, but now as I sit here today things are SO much better. We had a check up this morning with her pediatrician and she assured me that Hannah is doing great! She actually uses the word "perfect" and she probably says that about all the babies, but I like to think that it's only for the truly perfect ones. She is growing like crazy; 87% for her head size :), 57% for weight, and 75% for height. She gave me some suggestions about her napping, and I tried it today and it was pure bliss. She told me that Hannah may be one of those babies who doesn't like to nap as often as she once did. She used to take a one hour nap in the morning, a 2 hour nap mid day, and another one hour nap in the afternoon. Today we tried the nap in the morning and she slept for one hour. Then really late this afternoon we tried another nap and she slept for 2 1/2 hours. Let me tell you, it was exhausting keeping her entertained today from 10:30 until 2:00. I know that doesn't really seem like a long time, but when I'm used to her only being awake for 2 hours at the most, it was challenging for me. I needed a nap too. Hopefully this new schedule will continue for a while. <br /><br />These pictures are so funny to me. It's so hard to get a picture of her smiling at the camera. She just loves to give the pouty look. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgXnWCjifJYq19b4IlCwUe-jL2J1PzHB59LJrVKeYgFK-kzlhV4FMCdyXw9FpTuH_IK7D0D4DMjgBG7fGvEMf4qIfN6nEeT5HPnyzdgoRtOm6N9Vy1fOmWIRvE_qAFVU-3aikbyMP9O0Fl/s1600/DSC08288.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgXnWCjifJYq19b4IlCwUe-jL2J1PzHB59LJrVKeYgFK-kzlhV4FMCdyXw9FpTuH_IK7D0D4DMjgBG7fGvEMf4qIfN6nEeT5HPnyzdgoRtOm6N9Vy1fOmWIRvE_qAFVU-3aikbyMP9O0Fl/s400/DSC08288.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701723115174687058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3XwoR5WuR2ZXETLHr0lSmmQEzfEpQiTxUo7EjGQe497cHGEkZybGX0uwtmmXON28Q-eYYWeOhcjJKqEeXK4kDwQE3y9Mb-4hAdCxg6XqBGv9PXO3HU9aDN35JuInfkVDouy_N19B_oTfO/s1600/DSC08307.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3XwoR5WuR2ZXETLHr0lSmmQEzfEpQiTxUo7EjGQe497cHGEkZybGX0uwtmmXON28Q-eYYWeOhcjJKqEeXK4kDwQE3y9Mb-4hAdCxg6XqBGv9PXO3HU9aDN35JuInfkVDouy_N19B_oTfO/s400/DSC08307.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701723105512063410" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850761242610113141.post-39589938572485406862012-01-15T19:14:00.001-08:002012-01-15T19:25:25.314-08:00Rice Cereal and Sitting UpHannah has been eating rice cereal now for 2 weeks. These are some pictures we took from the first time we introduced cereal to her. The pictures tell it all....she thought it was gross. We kept at it and now she loves it and even makes a "yum" sound after each bite. This weekend I was able to introduce one more food to her. We chose bananas and instead of buying baby food I thought I would make my own. I tried to puree the banana, mash it with a fork, mix it with a little apple juice.. you name it she would NOT eat it. It was so funny because she opened her mouth every time I came at her with the spoon but she literally gagged every time she realized what I had put in her mouth. I thought it was maybe the texture she hated more than the flavor itself, so I broke down and bought a jar of baby food and she loved it! She took to it right away, with the "yum" sounds and all. <br /><br />It's so easy to have Hannah play on her back or in her Bumbo, but lately I've been working with her to try to sit up without any support. She does okay for a little while, but then topples over to the side. I was able to get this really cute picture of her sitting up all by herself, and she even had her adorable mouse hat on.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXu3KbV6Ur3ptOjhr-Onag45QCayubaTBBnGn0jTEjoiMW7vnO4j543BVLsfL_KkE0gmkGCYAyGcB5wd_GB8cvTBT5HbHtJ8OsWByZOF-jOz5GjM9cjJbzBTiyIzymaTUOSfS7ErZjeYV/s1600/DSC08243.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoXu3KbV6Ur3ptOjhr-Onag45QCayubaTBBnGn0jTEjoiMW7vnO4j543BVLsfL_KkE0gmkGCYAyGcB5wd_GB8cvTBT5HbHtJ8OsWByZOF-jOz5GjM9cjJbzBTiyIzymaTUOSfS7ErZjeYV/s400/DSC08243.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698063298639112434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8eBTogw3s3PEdEAy0VlD0fw-M10255lGzhReYOmxrTqFtZd8Cfgz7OeRFrtLIBOGyDCSCoytHnVeE8STKOPqF5k2CsWBDTlHbV4mA4Xi3KxaGfb2igvSIUT83qe2NKAMGPO649SXkhqgC/s1600/DSC08242.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8eBTogw3s3PEdEAy0VlD0fw-M10255lGzhReYOmxrTqFtZd8Cfgz7OeRFrtLIBOGyDCSCoytHnVeE8STKOPqF5k2CsWBDTlHbV4mA4Xi3KxaGfb2igvSIUT83qe2NKAMGPO649SXkhqgC/s400/DSC08242.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698063280870021426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEnmzj9IRVre9eL5ReOYv2yRMOQxYtpYo-VYHOSoWJEJfd-DT0fVhBbFDNtslnuM7CkY6g3LoS81t8M_bMA5TmbaO1eXurH0t45oPBLXf9qNlio1TErpKXUCkg8pcH20obRI8gkFJOOYh/s1600/DSC08253.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEnmzj9IRVre9eL5ReOYv2yRMOQxYtpYo-VYHOSoWJEJfd-DT0fVhBbFDNtslnuM7CkY6g3LoS81t8M_bMA5TmbaO1eXurH0t45oPBLXf9qNlio1TErpKXUCkg8pcH20obRI8gkFJOOYh/s400/DSC08253.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698063275627905714" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850761242610113141.post-18222969726689749222011-12-30T10:52:00.001-08:002011-12-30T10:58:30.280-08:005 months<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSe3ceCQk9tm4xlOEyfM_ETUe7g4N3VSdGeSidZcUPSg-RVef_oUBzAxxZdkF6G5y14lrta7MzPWtdmYyPQWm7AW2jTHOHwxXRyItS0YbuPcXD-7e2Ym-3OPHPXfSs6yyoplHqhZLSB7rn/s1600/DSC08233.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSe3ceCQk9tm4xlOEyfM_ETUe7g4N3VSdGeSidZcUPSg-RVef_oUBzAxxZdkF6G5y14lrta7MzPWtdmYyPQWm7AW2jTHOHwxXRyItS0YbuPcXD-7e2Ym-3OPHPXfSs6yyoplHqhZLSB7rn/s400/DSC08233.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691997548092590594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH595HV7GjaU5fdj1iB0zYVTHndqWlI-Naoeoeld39eGYUVLaWgN_dFhDrk_5-9TjhkXgyc_kejHcAhMpo4WAhnUpPE2D1LdUM2yHNl6qS2sLwT_T_lQ3kuDKqluj1CZgXZhDNpHYH6_YR/s1600/DSC08220.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH595HV7GjaU5fdj1iB0zYVTHndqWlI-Naoeoeld39eGYUVLaWgN_dFhDrk_5-9TjhkXgyc_kejHcAhMpo4WAhnUpPE2D1LdUM2yHNl6qS2sLwT_T_lQ3kuDKqluj1CZgXZhDNpHYH6_YR/s400/DSC08220.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691997520461467858" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8NzOQDI5lDSFI8YzkHPWh3LWyiLHl2RJXQ8Dh41MseFoTxJ860Cnycty405NjtgtDs2cWYGlw2lvJjE4QQLqkyMwjHVoDB3j84zwWFV_mWYaaplLTeRy87O7docmDL8AuOdeuM3bdyG-i/s1600/DSC08202.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8NzOQDI5lDSFI8YzkHPWh3LWyiLHl2RJXQ8Dh41MseFoTxJ860Cnycty405NjtgtDs2cWYGlw2lvJjE4QQLqkyMwjHVoDB3j84zwWFV_mWYaaplLTeRy87O7docmDL8AuOdeuM3bdyG-i/s400/DSC08202.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691997517047364722" /></a><br />Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Gibbons, Hannah has been rolling over for the past 2 days. For Christmas they bought her a snail that plays music when you touch it. I've been a mean mom and placed it just out of her reach so she has to roll at least part way to touch it. Every time I place her on her blanket with the snail it's tummy time :) The only downfall is that she can't figure out how to roll onto her back from her stomach and it makes her pretty mad. <br /><br />I can't believe Hannah is already 5 months. The time has flown by! She is so sweet that I can't imagine our lives without her. This weekend we're starting her on rice cereal and I can't wait to see how she handles it. I think it will be funny and entertaining to watch.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850761242610113141.post-82045595098882750312011-12-28T17:20:00.000-08:002011-12-28T21:50:55.255-08:00Christmas Vacation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqUjBoa4Pqy8I8lDLet_ndCQE7miFDR0nuJsYiO3V5C_cOZ0RRjzPUr-Qd_-hT9ZNrSt8gUztPu7-qIDgBtMn4KanU6a4azj4wrqOIn8FSfhYPOMcTmTZTUh2OIpwuLIWyHkl5dWn5EJO/s1600/DSC08162.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqUjBoa4Pqy8I8lDLet_ndCQE7miFDR0nuJsYiO3V5C_cOZ0RRjzPUr-Qd_-hT9ZNrSt8gUztPu7-qIDgBtMn4KanU6a4azj4wrqOIn8FSfhYPOMcTmTZTUh2OIpwuLIWyHkl5dWn5EJO/s400/DSC08162.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691356774181232786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOxiTtpn2U4DJizJ7M467tHhqJazotFumtPsCsiOiku3xDEhXdhOh-CwZFcOCqRB1JJTp66MHYbxDVnIX9mSLU5R_kLKr3aoPGRMyDf4fbBwwvn57q0-bIO1CCGGoH9sj5KwDD8Hebcwft/s1600/DSC08158.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOxiTtpn2U4DJizJ7M467tHhqJazotFumtPsCsiOiku3xDEhXdhOh-CwZFcOCqRB1JJTp66MHYbxDVnIX9mSLU5R_kLKr3aoPGRMyDf4fbBwwvn57q0-bIO1CCGGoH9sj5KwDD8Hebcwft/s400/DSC08158.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691356762535491986" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYiw2CfdJrGWmdC_EEATS-FcKl_ApcFeomN9T6cdt-hXiNZXiihPZ6r-u0XJthccpq739mDqX7OYfheME8ewKJt7Ujc-9LbLRTrj1Xea6WRFqquRoRoO5mDDY_cxJmKgJPJjDkUd15W85/s1600/DSC08139.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDYiw2CfdJrGWmdC_EEATS-FcKl_ApcFeomN9T6cdt-hXiNZXiihPZ6r-u0XJthccpq739mDqX7OYfheME8ewKJt7Ujc-9LbLRTrj1Xea6WRFqquRoRoO5mDDY_cxJmKgJPJjDkUd15W85/s400/DSC08139.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691356753663048018" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-LoJuzpNxdTjcpfWFi0VAjGfF4v4YZr_4nQArSd8EgAQuRVBFjGoNEl1ovUeM5gFpr0dnyNcM0pqne0SeD2e182E2QqNI3MZ4yKZSwQo5djStXtxpvA6b4y0q5vOSN3iJXbgrpYwVE4A/s1600/DSC08182.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-LoJuzpNxdTjcpfWFi0VAjGfF4v4YZr_4nQArSd8EgAQuRVBFjGoNEl1ovUeM5gFpr0dnyNcM0pqne0SeD2e182E2QqNI3MZ4yKZSwQo5djStXtxpvA6b4y0q5vOSN3iJXbgrpYwVE4A/s400/DSC08182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691354644986502466" /></a><br /><br />We had such a wonderful Christmas. First we started by celebrating Christmas with my family on the 22nd. We went to my parents house, had dinner, opened presents, watched a movie, and spent the night- just like we usually do on Christmas Eve. Then we headed back to our house, showered, unpacked and repacked and we were off to Yakima to spend Christmas with Blake's family. At Blake's parents house we played Wii Dance 3 and it was hilarious to watch. It was so nice to relax and visit with family over the week. Hannah had so much attention and love from everyone that I wondered if she would be sad to come back home and hang out with just me during the day. She loves her grandparents and all her aunts and uncles so much. I Hope everyone else had a great Christmas.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
