Hannah and her best buds...


The two girls (L-R) are Laura and Nikki. They are in our youth group and they absolutely LOVE Hannah...they come every Sunday night to take care of her while we have Bible Study. She loves to have them play with her too. Here they were putting her toy rings on her piggy tails to make her look like Princess Leia. They just can't get enough of hanging out with her. :)

Such a busy body



Hannah has just started to learn to crawl and to pull herself up, so she is now starting to get into everything! It is fun to see her go, go, go and you can tell she is so excited about it because she breathes in and out really quickly when she is crawling towards something, or when we go to get her out of her crib and she is standing up. She also likes to give herself "kisses" in the mirror. She gets so excited to see herself in it (even though she most likely doesn't realize its herself). :o) She is usually a very happy-go-lucky baby, but she also has her moments. Like last week a couple of days...she had an ear infection plus two teeth coming in that were bothering her...we felt so bad for her and all she wanted to have us do is hold her, but that's ok...that meant cuddle time, and since she is always wanting to be on the go, its hard to get her to stop and snuggle a little. :0)

Fun at the Carousal




A couple weeks ago, Hannah and Carissa met up with Auntie Anna, cousins Josiah and Micah and Grandma Julie at the Salem Riverfront Carousal. Hannah seemed to enjoy it, although she was on a horse that moved up and down as we went around and looked like she didn't feel too well, but made it through smiling at the end. We'll do it again...probably when she's a little older, so she knows more of what's going on. :0)

Daddy's Future Firefighter



On Monday, Jan. 15, we went to the Keizer Fire District Reception and so Hannah got a picture with the big fire truck and then also a little toy one...she loved to pretend she was driving it...its kinda hard to tell, but she's got a smile on her face. David says she's gonna be one just like her daddy. :o)

Let it snow...






We woke up to snow this morning...it was the second time its snowed this winter. We had more this time than last, but as soon as the sun came out it melted quickly. We took Hannah out in it...she wasn't quite sure what to think of it. When Carissa put some in her hand, she thought right away it was something to eat. :o) Not sure if she liked how cold it was though.

Our little girl...




Hannah is such a joy in our lives...its hard now to imagine what life was like without her. :) She is now 7 1/2 month old and is a very active little girl! She keeps us very busy all the time, and we think she is planning in her little head to keep us more and more busy chasing her! She sits up and leans over into the crawling position, but hasn't quite figured out how to get anywhere. She does lay on her tummy and pushes herself backwards. Once she learned how to do this the other day, she has started rolling from the carpet to the hard floor, because she knows that once she gets there, she can push herself backwards all around, and quite easily at that!
She got her 2 middle bottom teeth when she was 5 months old and a new one has just started popping out - this one is on the bottom also - second one over on the right. We thought she was going to get her top middle ones, so it surprised us! Getting this one in has made her quite cranky, much more than the first two, which has resulted in her waking us up in the middle of the night or very early in the mornings! We got too spoiled with her sleeping through the night 10-12 hours! Thank goodness for Tylenol, though!!
She loves taking her baths - she could stay in there forever splashing around, getting us all wet! She also will let you hear about it if you take her rubber ducky away from her! :o)
She has 2 cousins, Josiah (2 yrs old) and Micah (3 weeks younger than she), that she likes to play with. Another friend of her's is Carter, which is a week younger than her, although she doesn't see him quite as often. David and Carter's dad, Jeremy, have prearranged their marriage. :) She also goes to youth group with us and has lots of friends there that will spoil her, plus a few little friends in the church nursery.
That's the newest on Hannah...until next time. :o)
