house warming

So a few weeks ago we had most of Dan's family over for dinner to see our new house. I was sad that things didn't work out for everyone to come, but glad at the same time because Dan's family is huge and it was a mad house anyway. But it was a lot of fun and I got a ton of cute pictures of the crazy little kids. Hannah's cousin Brigham cracks me up because he loves Hannah so much and is constantly all over her giving hugs and kisses. It's so cute!

                                                   So loving. Hahahahaha.

                             Emily having fun on the swing. She's so cute. I can't believe how big she is.

Crazies!

10 months

As I sit here, listening to Hannah scream bloody murder instead of taking her nap, it's a little hard to concentrate and think of things I want to write. This month she has gotten a third tooth- one of her two front ones, the other one is being stubborn- and had an ear infection that sent us to the doctor. She's been on antibiotics for a week and is doing much better, but her fever was pretty high there for a couple of days. We also finally got a high chair. We'd been using her bumbo for feedings, but she had gotten too big for it so we lent it to her cousin Emily and got a high chair. It is so much easier to feed her in something she can't roll out of! And she likes it a lot better, too. She is a really good eater, but she's gotten to the point where she prefers grown up food to baby food, well... she thinks she does, anyway. She always wants what we're eating, but she can't always swallow it and ends up spitting it out. Hannah LOVES music and loves to dance. It is so much fun to watch her. She loves getting chased around the house by her dad, and especially loves reading books with him before bed. Her favorite book is "Llama llama Red Pajama." She's a very happy child most of the time and we love her so much!

Fox hat

As I've mentioned before, Hannah is scared of hats. She's actually getting better, but still cries at them most of the time. One night, Dan was torturing the poor child (a common occurrence actually) and decided to get out his fox hat. As expected, Hannah cried and cried once he put it on, but then he decided to put it on her. She wasn't sure what to think until he showed her the mirror and she saw how beautiful she looked. Hahaha. She loved it. She was smiling and jumping up and down with excitement. Apparently, hats are only scary on other people.

9 months

This month has been a crazy one! We bought a house and moved in, Dan's been super busy with work and school, and Hannah has been growing like crazy. She can now pull herself into a standing position with no problem, and she crawls on hands and knees instead of army crawling. She also learned to clap, and I love it! It's so cute. She's 31 inches tall and weighs 23 pounds. The process of moving was difficult for her, but now she loves her new house and all of the room she has to move around and explore. It seems like there's so much more that I wanted to say, but it's been a while and I've forgotten all of it. Hopefully as I upload pictures I'll be able to remember...

broken

It was a very sad day for me a couple of weeks ago when I tried to recline the recliner and realized that Hannah had pushed my laptop underneath it. The screen is broken and so I haven't been able to upload pictures or log on to my blog. Luckily Dan was able to take an old computer from work so now I can use the internet again. I have a ton of cute pictures to blog about, so hopefully I'll get that done soon.
