Trip to Fort Worth!

Hannah and I finally made a visit to our beloved Fort Worth! What a great trip we had AND what fabulous weather! It was so much fun to watch Hannah, Jack, and Fritz play together - what a trio they make!





Fabulous food, good company, and awesome hospitality...we love and miss our Texas friends so much! Thanks so much for having us Kelly and Jamie - cannot wait until next time!

On Sunday we were able to drive out to Dallas to spend the day visiting with more friends at a baby shower! Emily did a fabulous job hosting and everyone, including mom-to-be Ann, had a great time togehter! Here are some pics from the shower...the best is the group shot...hilarious that we thought we could take a picture with everyone looking! We are so blessed to have so many precious baby girls! Hope to see everyone again soon!

9 Months Old!

Photo sessions with Hootie are becoming more and more challenging! BUSY is the word I would use to best describe Hannah right now - she is constantly on the move wherever she is playing! While crawling is not her favorite...she definately gets to what she wants! She would much rather be standing while playing or pulling herself up to the standing position. She now has two precious teeth, longer hair for bows (yeah!), and keeps growing taller!


Hannah enjoys trying new foods and snacks - she loves puffs of any variety, mum-mum crackers, avocado, sweet potatoes, and bananas mixed with anything! I would definatey say they are her favorite fruit. I love to watch her figure out the new items we give her on her high chair tray and then watch to see what she does with them! She is so observant and aware of what others are doing around her and is beginning to copy behavior she witnesses (which is both good and bad)!




Hannah LOVES music and singing...Old MacDonald, Ladybug Ladybug, or any other songs I make up! She loves to bounce and 'shake any toy that rattles. She loves to walk around the house and follow me in her walker, loves playtime in the playroom and will dump out the contents of every toy basket with delight! Bathtime is enjoyable - she loves to splash and play in the water! While teething has been challenging...Hannah is normally a happy baby who is full of smiles and giggles! Hello! and Bye-bye! for now! (Hannah's newest trick is waving!)

Giggles!

Not exactly sure what was soooo funny...but baby laughs are contagious! The more we laughed, the more Hannah did too!
