Pics for Mara and Rob J





At Aunt Mara's request, we bought a Bumbo! Hannah was so funny when we put her in it. She couldn't really figure out how she was sitting up by herself, so she just kept wiggling around. Then she realized she didn't like and started to cry. The second picture is of Hannah in her "Vance Refrigeration" onesie (pronounced OH-NESS-EE) that was a gift from Uncle Robert.

12 weeks old



That's right, Hannah is 12 weeks! Time is really flying by and she is getting so big! For the past two weeks she has been spending her days with her GG (Suzan), since I returned to work. She has really developed and is now smiling and laughing a lot. This week she learned to play with a rattle, and really got a kick out of the noises she was making. She is starting to raise her head while she's on her back, so our new fun game is to help her pull herself upright. She just laughs! We are having fun dressing her, too, now that more of her clothes fit. It is crazy how quickly she is growing. Some of her outfits that were too big last week fit her this week! Today we are going to run some errands, so we put her in this cute bubble. It may be hard to see it through the car seat, but I didn't want to wake her. She looks like a little doll!

On the road again




Yes, Hannah took another weekend trip! This weekend we went home to Mobile for Passover. Jason and Hannah came to pick me up from work late Friday afternoon and we headed south for a few days. Hannah was excited to see her grandparents and aunts, uncles, and cousins. Saturday we went over to Mamaw's house for a modified Passover Seder. As the youngest attendee, Hannah got the afikomen, with some help of course! Unfortunately, she was sleepy, so it wasn't very amusing to her. This weekend's visit was short, but nice, and we can't wait to come back soon!

Hannah has just started responding with smiles and laughs, so stay tuned for some great pictures and/or videos. I'll be trying to capture as many as I can!

Noah & Lara's Wedding




This weekend we all went to Atlanta for Uncle Noah and Aunt Lara's wedding. We had a wonderful time. Friday night we had a nice Shabbat dinner hosted by Lara's family. On Saturday we went to services and had a delicious kiddush luncheon hosted by my parents, grandmother, and aunts and uncles. Saturday night was the Rehearsal Dinner at the hotel. The food was great, and the speeches were both funny and sentimental. Sunday morning we were up bright and early for makeup and hair, and the wedding began at 12 noon. The ceremony was outiside, and the weather managed to hold out for us. Lara made a beautiful bride! The reception afterwards was so much fun! The band was really great, and the dancefloor was full the entire time. Hannah had a fun time getting to know all of her cousins, aunts and uncles, and friends that she had not yet gotten the opportunity to meet!
