Bubbles!!

There's just something about bubbles that kids love! And dogs too! Hannah loves bubbles and says bubble all the time. Barkley loves to catch them in his mouth. Here's our attempt at taping this wonderful time today.

What makes you happy?

For Hannah the answer is almost anything. She is such a happy girl. She is saying more and more each day. Her favorite word is still "dada." She loves pointing out "Dada" in every picture that she sees. She'll even sit on the stairs and point at his picture. So cute!

Hannah likes to sing too. She has her own song. It goes like this, "do do Daa, do do Daa." She just keeps singing that over and over again.

Yesterday she did something adorable. Mommy went to put some music on but Hannah wanted to watch her video. So she went to the entertainment closet and got her video out. She shut the door and then handed it to Mommy all while saying something. It was shocking but adorable! She is growing up so fast!

We are so blessed by her. God is so good! We thank Him all the time for her life as she is such a blessing to us.

Family Support!

There's nothing like family! Hannah finally got to meet her great Uncle Wes and great Aunt Janice on Thursday. They live in Chattanooga and are busy loving their granddaughters, Renee's cousins 3 girls (20 months, and 2 seven month olds)! Renee's parents drove them down so it was nice to have a day with everyone. They just loved Hannah! We went out to eat and went shopping. Hannah was treated to a shopping spree at Toys R Us! We are so blessed to have a loving, supportive family.

The same day our family came to visit Hannah got a present in the mail from Nana. It was a poodle purse! Hannah just loves purses so this was such a cute present. The purse barks like a puddle and has a strap that can convert to a lease too.

Walking on the beach!

Hannah tried to walk on the beach last night. It didn't go like we imagined. We envisioned her walking and playing. Instead she cried and didn't want to touch the sand. We did get a few pictures but as you see she doesn't seem happy. We hope to get her more and more use to the sand and beach. The best part of the evening was seeing the rainbow that ended in the ocean! It was beautiful!

Last day of childcare

We did our last day of childcare at Christ Fellowship today. It went well and Hannah didn't get hurt this time! Yeah! There was only 9 kids but it makes it more difficult when a couple of them are potty training! That's an experience I'm ready to wait for! The reward will be worth the hard work but it doesn't seem easy. One girl actually went to the bathroom on the bathroom floor because she wasn't sitting back far enough on the potty. That wasn't fun. Oh well, that was an adventure.

15 month appointment!

Hannah had her 15 month appointment today. We decided to go to the Library to story time before hand. Hannah loved how there were several other kids there. She just danced around when it was music time. How did we not know about this wonderful free event before! Hannah and Mommy are certainly going back!Back to her appointment details. Hannah weighs 25 lbs and 3oz, which is only in the 80%. She's 32 1/4", which is in the 93rd percentile! The Dr. said that she looked good even though she had just bumped her head in the waiting room.The Dr. said that she can stay on the flouride suppliment until she's 2 years old. She said transitioning to 1 nap at this age is very common and fine. She said we can certainly use orajel on her gums as she noticed that Hannah may be getting 3 more molars really soon. The Dr. said that she wouldn't recommend any type of lifevest for swimming as kids can then depend on them and jump in the water without them. She said that she is at a great age to take her to swimming lessons. Any time between now and 2 would be good for Hannah as they teach them how to roll over in the water and go to the side of the pool. Hannah finished the appointment with 2 shots. So she started and ended the appointment screaming and crying. At least she was awarded a fun lunch out with Mommy afterwards.

Hannah's 1st Molar

Hannah just got her 1st molar yesterday. She was cranky on Saturday and Sunday. We figured she was teething as she has several spots swallon on her gums. We weren't sure which one of the teeth she'd get first. This molar is much larger than the other teeth as it broke through the gums in at least 3 places. She didn't want us to look in her mouth too long but what we saw looked painful. Hannah now has 6 teeth. She goes to the Pediatrician tomorrow for her 15 month checkup.
