Frequent Flyer

Hannah is my favorite little travel companion! Since she was born, we have gone so many places! Recently, we flew to Denver - and had a great weekend visiting my college roomate Dana & her husband Adam! We were also able to spend time with other college friends and their children who were in town! Hannah bonded with Dana and they were "best friends" the whole weekend - too cute! We had a great time and enjoyed a fun couples baby shower on Saturday night for my friend Jen who is having twins! Didn't get many photos...too busy having fun! Thanks for hosting us Dana! We will be back again soon!

Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Looks like a very similar grin shared between us!

Hannah playing in one of her toy boxes and a diaper box! Looks like we also share a love of playing inside toy baskets and other items! Thanks mom for sending the picture!

16 Months Old!

Watching Hannah grow and change keeps getting better and better! She makes us laugh daily with her new skills, words, and her developing personality - hearing her laugh and seeing her smile brightens even the worst of days!



Though still on the petite size...Hannah is tall and slender weighing slightly over 20lbs and about 31inches tall. She is still in size 3 diapers, wears mostly 12-18mth in clothes, has a 4.5 - 5 shoe size, and still has only 6 teeth! She does a great job with her utensils, bowls, plates, and loves to eat and snack! Cheerios, goldfish, bananas, and applesauce (especially the ones in the squeeze pouches) are top of the list. Hannah does like all of her veggies and fruits...however she still prefers them from a squeeze pouch. Rice, noodles, oven fries with ketchup, blueberry waffles with syrup, chicken, cheese, are other faves. Still doesn't like milk - but loves yogurt and other dairy items. Cookies anyone??? Hannah loves them! Good thing her mama loves to bake...and loves cookies too!


Hannah's vocabulary is still jumbled - but new words keep popping up! Ice, hi, duck, all done, mama, dada, more, juice, awa (water), and wuff wuff when she sees dogs. She is starting to imitate more and more of what we do...can still do high five, wave bye-bye, sign more and all done, touch her nose, hair/head, knees, toes, belly, and indicate where her shoulders are with a cute shoulder move. Loves playing with her doll house, stacking things, stirring things, emptying and refilling, and just recently likes to "draw" or color. She likes to carry things around the house and find new places for them...but is helpful and follows directions when it is time to clean up and put toys back to their correct locations! She does like watching "Elmo"(Sesame Street), and Mickey Mouse Club House...and she will watch the food channel with me!



Hannah is super curious, loves to run and play outside, and is very observant of her surroundings. She is a great traveler both airplane and car - and loves meeting new people and visiting friends! She is a sweet and loving little toddler now...becoming more and more independent every day - love you so much Hannah!
