  • Use It or Lose It

     So, I got an e-mail from Xanga not long ago saying that if I don't blog sometime soon I will lose my username (apparently there are lots of people trying to get user names that are already in use).  Even though I haven't had time to blog at all this year(that's crazy!), I want to, and I definately don't want to lose the blogs I have already done.  So this blog is to say "Xanga, please don't delete me ."

    And, since I'm on here, I'll add some pictures of our sweet, silly girl :

    It's bedtime now.  I will try to tell more soon about the silliness and the wonderfulness that is Hannah.  If you want more, let me know...the more people I know look, the more likely I am to blog more frequently.

  • Hannah's First Birthday!

     

    It's hard to believe it's been a whole year since Hannah was born!  Here is a slide show of her first birthday.  We had a great time and she got tons of great presents...almost more toys than our little house can contain.  She is so much fun!  She isn't walking yet, but she could if she decided to.  She babbles all the time and we have been able to distinguish several words she consistently uses: Mama, Dada, Ki-e (for "kitty"), bwaucka-bwaucka (for "duck" or "quack").  She waves sometimes and says bye occasionally (usually just to Daddy).

    Shawn & I are doing great as well.  He is now working in St. Joe (instead of driving back and forth to Olathe).  And I got a job with the State in September.  I really love the job and the people I am working with...some days I really wish I could stay home with Hannah, but this is working just fine for us right now. 

    Let's see...oh yeah, my niece, Gabrielle, is turning 2 on the 14th (Valentine's baby).  She sure is a pistol.  I don't know if I would have the energy to keep up with her 24/7...Kelly is a strong woman.  Gabbie and Hannah sure do have fun together.  I was in St. Louis (where my brother & sister-in-law live) for a week in October for training for my new job, so I took Hannah and she stayed with them while I was training.  That, by the way, is where Hannah really started crawling and pulling up.  Kelly is so great with the girls.

    Okay, I have to say so long for now.  I do plan to update on here every now and then, so if you want to know when I add something without having to check back, be sure to subscribe to my blog.

    Have a great day, week, month...whatever until I find time to write again:)

  • New Developments

    There have been a few new developments in Hannah's life since my last post.  I mentioned that she was working on crawling, but she finally has started getting up on her hands & knees quite frequently.

    Isn't that just one of the cutest darn pictures!  I have to laugh every time I see that little mischievious look :)

    She has also finally taken to eating solids better...thanks to finally trying carrots.  She loooooves them!  She practically dives for the spoon as it approaches her mouth.

    We had some visitors this past Sunday & Monday.  My brother, Brian & his girlfriend, Angie, came to visit and Hannah had such a good time with them.  (Shawn & I did too:).

    Angie got Hannah laughing that adorable little belly laugh that babies do that just makes you have to laugh right along.  I was unfortunately out of disc space on my camcorder, but here are a few pics:

    It's not the same as hearing the wonderful little laugh, but it will have to do for now.

    I also wanted to include a couple of pictures of Hannah sitting...she sat yesterday for about 30 minutes and only keeled over once:

    One more picture of Hannah playing Peek-a-Boo:

    Well, I guess that's all for now.  I have so many pictures from the last two days, I have been off work and didn't have anywhere I had to go, so we have had a blast!  Anyway, I'll post again soon (I hope:).

  • Mostly Pictures

     I don't want to take a lot of time right now...I haven't had much chance to get on the computer lately.  Hannah is now 6 months old...it's hard to believe.  She is such a joy.  She sits up fairly well now and has started working on crawling.  She babbles a LOT and is such a happy baby.  She sleeps between 10-12 hours every night (only waking occasionally if she can't find her pacifier).  We are so incredibly blessed.  Here are some pictures.  I will try to post more so I can put some cute stories on here, but no promises.

  • Hannah Update

    Hannah has recovered from whatever was ailing her.  All her bloodwork came back fine so we think it was just achiness from a little congestion.  She has started smiling more and more and she has even giggled a couple of times!  It is so fun to watch her discover new things.  We just got back from a trip to my parent's house and she has finally started noticing the live animals.  Mostly because Bear, my parent's dog, demands noticing by getting right in your face:).  I am going to try to get a couple of videos of her and put them on here, but that requires two people and we haven't got that coordinated yet.

    Here is a picture of Hannah's second outing in the stroller.  This time I put her forward facing in the stroller instead of in the car seat facing me.  We got a lot further that the first time before she started fusing...and I think that was mostly due to the sun getting in her eyes.  She didn't actually cry until we were a few feet from the house (last time I only made it to the end of the block).

    Okay, I have to go eat now before Hannah wakes up from her nap.
