Peak-a-boo with Daddy

Fun With Hats!

Hannah was home sick for a couple of days last week, but on the second day she really wasn't sick it just hadn't been 24hrs since having a fever. I was cleaning out the 3-6 mo. clothes from her chest of drawers and decided to play with the hats. The white bonnet is actually mine from when I was a baby. She smiles anytime she sees a camera held up, but I don't just blame Chris and myself, but also her teachers at daycare because they also take pictures during the week .

Halloween Costume

Here are a couple of pictures of Hannah on Halloween. To daycare she wore a jack-o-lantern outfit the hat didn't last very long I was told because another baby just thought he needed it.

They said that she was playing in the exersaucer and he would stand up at it and reach and she would lean back as far as she could and give him a look. I wish I could have seen it. They also say that he takes toys from her, but she holds her own. I did get to see that one morning, it was pretty funny. He pulled the truck to himself and she pulled it right back and wouldn't let go as he tried to take it back.

She also had a real costume. She was a little bear. I know it is kind of silly, because she didn't go trick or treating she just went to the door with us a few times, but this is her first Halloween, so I felt that she should have a costume. I think she was pretty cute!! At first she wasn't so sure, but I think she got into it.

Saturday Outing

We went to the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday. It was very busy, but we had lots of fun. Hannah enjoyed being outside. She is such a good baby, she never was fussy. She smiled at anyone who would look her way! Here are some pics from the day.

Green Beans!! Yummy!

Here are a couple of pictures from our first meal of veggies with rice. We started with green beans for the first veggie. She didn't seem to really care either way, but then she made this funny face. She hasn't done this since so not quite sure what it was about. She definately eats her green beans better than I do. But now maybe I have an excuse, since that was one of the foods I tested positive for at my allergy testing. Anyways! We have now also tried grean peas and she really likes them. She get frustrated with the bites of cereal between the bites of peas, so I put a little of both on each spoonful. I guess next will be carrots?

Here are a couple of pictures from this morning. Isn't she cute!!?!!

Sitting Tall

Hannah has now added sitting unassisted to her list of skills. She turned 5 mo. on Monday and these were taken on Tuesday. I can't believe how big she has gotten. She has two teeth! We weighed her Wednesday (we don't weigh her often, but we needed to know so we could give her the correct dose of Tylenol) and she already weighs over 16 1/2 lbs. No wonder a lot of her 3-6 mo clothes have gotten too small and the 6-9 mo are fitting pretty good! Definately got those genes from her daddy!

My silly kitty, Ariel, is making me laugh again!

Hannah has started laughing at the cat. She has been watching her as she walks by, but now she smiles at her. Especially when the cat is rubing on against my arm as I try to take a picture Hannah.

Bath Time!

Hannah still really enjoys her baths, although I think she enjoys her feet more! She can't get enough of them and bath time is no exception.

Here are some (not many) pictures from last weekend with the family. We didn't take a lot and I have to apologize to my Mom and sister-in-law Susanna that we didn't get them in a picture! But we did enjoy having everyone here!

Baby Dedication

We had Hannah's baby dedication last Sunday morning. Both sets of grandparents were able to come and Aunt Susanna, too. I didn't do a great job of picture taking, but here are a couple of pictures of Hannah in her dress. I am pretty proud of this dress. It is from Gymboree and is probably the most fancy dress she will have for quite sometime. Unless when I go shopping with her Aunt Stacie and we find another great deal, because Aunt Stacie is great at finding good deals. Like when she came down last month and we went shopping I got 10 things from Children's Place for just $18!

Oh, Daddy you make me laugh!

We got our first video of her really laughing, not just squealing. She provides lots of good entertainment. I believe Daddy was have just as much fun as Hannah.

Rollin'

On Friday, Chris and I got to see first hand Hannah rolling and not just the finished product. Know she rolls as soon as you get her on her back, it is a never ending cycle. She likes performing the trick, but is not always happy with the end position, especially when I am asleep and don't know how I got this way.

Friday night

Saturday when I woke up from my nap.

Big Girl Pacifier

Here I am with my big girl pacifier. No more newborn pacifier for me!

Thought this was cute. It looks like she is multi-tasking with her toys :)

Burr!!!! That's Cold!!!!

I gave Hannah a chilled teether today thinking she might like it. I will let you judge by the expressions on her face!

Firsts

Yesterday we got to experience a couple of firsts. First, in the morning she was crying with her mouth wide open and I saw her first tooth coming through on the bottom right middle. She hasn't really been fussy or anything, which is great!

Then later yesterday evening, I was in the kitchen doing some dishes and Chris was watching the Olympics and he called in and asked "Did you put her on her tummy or back"? Yes, that's right, she had rolled over while neither of us were paying attention. Here is a post roll over picture. I think she looks proud of herself.

Weekend with the Alveys!

Yummy Cereal!!!!

Not quite sure what this stuff is . . . . . . but a couple of tries later it's not to bad (although Daddy says it needs some salt). Here is a short clip.
