6 Months...

Reading a card from Daddy...
Hannah Loves her Daddy...
"Leave me to my card mommy"


AND...
LOOK WHAT I CAN DO !!!!!

Sitting up all by herself- this is ACTUALLY the first time- camera was handy and she was not falling she sat there for many minutes... and has been hooked ever since- When I see her sitting- I am amazed at how big she is getting

Hannah has also been sampling some of her first "big girl" foods applesauce is a MAJOR winner- bananas did not go over well

Also, beware what is in reaching distance- because it will undergo a special examination- which could include- rigorous shaking- violent bashing against anything, this also includes a taste testing- and a bit of gnawing- at the end of the experiment you will be ejected- hopefully the fall is not to far and the landing is soft-
I am happy she is a curious child-

Hi Daddy- Miss you- Day 4

Getting ready to take the Roxi for a walk
Why all these pictures Mom (Saturday)

Too adorable

PLEASE.......

CAN I GO OUTSIDE ?!?!?!?

Roxi missing her Daddy

Spike says "HI" !!

Eating- (Monday)

BIG GIRL- standing-up and getting tall!
(and looking a little military- YES MOM)

Hannah looks like a little girl- not so little baby

Hi Daddy- Day 1

A card for me Daddy?
Let me taste it- inspecting it

it needs further investigation

Hannah in a rather "studious" moment

Looking at the card - she says she loved it ...

PASS INSPECTION !!!!!!!!

Crazy Hair

crazier hair

Not many adventures today- Hannah is asleep. I worked on both of my puzzles- Hannah watched her video and we sang songs- and talked about all the "stuff" in our home.

Eating... and...

Crazy Hair ...

Bounced herself to sleep

Hannah hanging out with Phoebe

Already loves her kitty

Pulling Phoebe's ears... and amazingly Phoebe does not mind

Practicing standing...

This is where the cereal ended up...

YOU FEED THIS TO HER?!?!???!!!

Maybe I'll try?

Hannah's first big girl food- she is wearing more than she ate

NO MORE MOMMY!

YUCK!!!

I'll just spit it out

First time in the high chair- little did she know- what was about to happen...

Hannah did not enjoy the first big girl food- Mommy cried- seeing Hannah in the high chair and feeding her with a spoon- Phoebe did not like it but Roxi came to Hannah's rescue and finished it for her- It is really fun to watch her accomplishments- becoming more dexterous- her laugh- and BIG smiles when she sees us- she is becoming a little more independent - she does not cry when she first wakes up - she plays and coos- and has all sorts of fun entertaining herself- This mommy stuff gets better by the day !!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hannah and her first Cabbage Patch

Daddy helping ...

Checking it out....

Can we do this everyday?

Is this for me?

Big girl figuring it out on her own ...


Merry Christmas & Gezegend Kerstfeest.... Hannah did enjoy ripping some paper- Having her open a Cabbage Patch was better than receiving one as a kid... Hope everyone has a great day- Rejoice in what Christmas is about !!!! Love- Jan, Rachel, and Hannah - Bailey- Roxi- and Phoebe tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
