Pictures as promised!

There are so many pictures that I decided to put a link to my album rather than spend hours posting them all on the blog. Hope you enjoy!

November/December

I'm a better mom for not spending so much time blogging

Sorry... I realize I have not updated the blog in quite a while. We have been very busy over the last month. November brought Thanksgiving and the Iron Bowl (ROLL TIDE!), and Hannah turning 10 months, and December has been Mara's Wedding, Hannukah, Christmas, and in a few days New Years! My computer just returned from being fixed, so I have not had a chance to download pictures yet. I will do that tomorrow if Jason remembers to bring home my camera. Tomorrow Hannah will be 11 months old... here are 11 things you should know about Hannah:

1. She is walking all over the place! She walks more than she crawls now and is into everything!
2. She still only has 2 teeth. I am dreading the arrival of the next ones.
3. She said ducky tonight for the first time... as in rubber ducky in the bathtub. she talks to herself constantly. Mostly it is babble, but there are a few words mixed in there for good measure.
4. She has started pointing and saying "eh" to get what she wants (sound familiar Robert?)
5. She understands "no ma'am," but thinks it is funny when I say it and, therefore, doesn't always stop what she is not supposed to be doing.
6. We visited the zoo for the first time this past Saturday. She had the most fun on the carousel. She also rode the train, petted a sheep, and called every animal we saw a doggy.
7. She has moved up to size 4 diapers, but can still wear her 9 month clothing.
8. She finally pays attention to her baby Huggums doll. We introduced her to the baby a few nights ago and she hugged her. She also will kiss her on command, but watch out... Hannah only gives open mouth kisses!
9. Her hair is finally growing! When it is wet it looks really long in the back. When it is dry the back is starting to curl up.
10. She talks on her play telephone. If you hold it up to your ear, then say that the person (usually Nana or Gigi when we are playing) wants to talk to her she grabs the phone, puts it up to her ear and squeals "Hey (Gigi or Daddy)."
11. She will bring things to you if you ask for them. For example, if she is holding something and you say, "bring that to mommy," or "give that to Uncle Scott," she will take whatever she is holding to that person.

I could go on and on about how wonderful Hannah is. She makes us laugh every day, and never ceases to amaze me. She is the happiest baby I have ever seen (for those of you at Mara's wedding- that weekend was an exception!), and is just so much fun.
