Grandma and Cousins

Hannah hasn't had the opportunity to see her cousins Riann and Jesse or grandma in a while, so they met me and my mom for a visit at the mall Saturday morning....

I think the kids were ready for play time at Chucky Cheese...

Daddy's Girl

Some pictures have no need for words....

Valentine's Day

Byran and I celebrated Valentine's Day this past weekend while grandmama babysat Hannah.  It was our first date night out since Hannah was born....

Hannah gave Bryan his card before we left.  It has smiley faces on it and she told me to write "I love it when you make me smile"on the inside.  Her little sleeper also says "daddy's sweetie".

We went to Oasis in Franklin to eat (didn't want to get too far).

A Spring Day in February

Ahh...Spring is on its way.  68 degrees in Franklin, KY yesterday. 

Hannah and I celebrated by playing with the ball popper OUTSIDE!!!!

Hannah absolutely loves being outside.  We started out just walking around our yard, talking to the Hoss and Daisy(our two dogs), talking to the cows and talking to Jack(the neighbors donkey).  Then we ended our outside adventure on the front porch.

Here are Just a few more sweet pics from the week...

Hannah reunited with her old buddy octopus man.  She loved him from 2-3 months and then all of a sudden decided she  would cry every time she saw him.  But, as you can see, she has given him a good talkin' to and evidently they have made up.

Daddy's Home!

 

Happy Spring Everyone....and just a side note...the prunes worked...flood gates are open and we are back in business!

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge."  Psalm 19:1-2

This and That

Note to self:  Start next baby on 1 tablespoon of new food only when starting on pureed baby food.  So, I got super excited when Hannah started gobbling up the carrots like a champ.  She kept opening her little mouth like a little bird...and it is so much fun to feed a baby that likes to eat!  However, too much food too soon=major constipation.  That's been our week in a nutshell...constipation.  She's doing a little better now since I started her on infant acidophilis, and we're off to sweet potatoes.  She still hasn't had a major blowout yet though, so I'm thinking about a little prune juice added to the "so thin you could drink it through a bottle" sweet potatoes.  Other suggestions are welcome from all you experienced moms. 

Bryan and I have also started a home project...we are putting in hardwood floors in the living room and hallway into the bedrooms and tile in the kitchen....I'm super excited!  Bryan's actually doing the work.  Hannah and I are supervising.  Here are just a few pics from the week...

I really wanted to get a picture of Hannah outside with the pretty snow in the background, but it was -2 degrees on the day that I thought about it, so we took an inside pic with our hello kitty winter hat and snowman on.

The snow was already melting(I don't know why I didn't think about getting a pic of the freshly fallen snow), but the sunset behind our house was just breathtaking.

Hannah sitting up all by herself...no help from the boppy pillow.

My first try at sweet potatoes.

Before the rip up began.

And off we go...notice the horrible water damage in front of our back door...the reason we started this project in the first place.

Carpet is up and living room is cleared...well, almost cleared.

Hannah supervising Bryan as he worked. 

She was not giving out any smiles this day, but her little face was just too cute not to get a picture.

Oh, and just a side note...it's 53 degrees outside today!  Spring is on its way!  I think we'll spend some time outside today...maybe a trip to the park.  Happy Monday everyone!

Carotts:Take 2, Superbowl and Sitting Up

So, here is day two of eating big people food....a nice swap from day one's scrunched up nose....

Superbowl Fun!

(yes, I know they lost)

Sitting up with a little help from the Boppy pillow...She is sitting up for short periods of time without the boppy, but she tends to throw her head backwards when she's done with it, so I was afraid she'd hit her head if I tried to get a picture.....



Happy 6 months!

Happy 6 months to Hannah today!  Well, we have celebrated by taking fun pictures with Hannah's sticker onsie, playing and trying out our very first people food...carrots!  I was super excited to get to try out my new beaba baby food maker that I got for Christmas.  I then made a special treat for Bryan and I to snack on later....Banana chocolate chip muffins!  That doesn't seem right does it?  Hannah gets mushed up carrots and we get Banana muffins....But we deserve a treat too....we made it 6 months!  What a precious blessed, wonderful, full of adventure 6 months it has been.  I am so thankful to God for our precious gift....

Carrots chopped/diced

Into the steamer they go

Steaming...

And Wa La!

So, Hannah has no idea what is getting ready to take place in this pic

Thinking..."What is this mush?"

Thinking..."OK, I might be able to handle this"

Mommy put way too much in the bowl....

Her very first taste of food on her 6 month birthday.  Where have the past 6 months gone?  It just doesn't seem right that she is already a half a year old.  My prayer for Hannah...that she may "obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus" 2 Timothy 2:10 and that she would have a desire for God's Word knowing that it is "more precious than gold; even much  pure gold; and sweeter than honey and drippings from the honeycomb." Psalm 19:10.  I love you baby girl!
