Bathtime Bliss

Hannah was having such a fun time in her bath the other night, we just had to take a picture! Her one little tooth has sure poked through. Can you see it?

She is "inch-worming" all over the house now. Not really crawling, but she's certainly getting to where she wants to be. She has gone up to Baxter several times and grabbed a fistful of fur, and he doesn't even move! What a lazy cat.

More Mobile

The other day, I left Hannah on her back on the floor in the bathroom to grab her pajamas, and when I came back a minute later, she was sitting up! She is also starting to crawl for small stretches when she sees something she wants. The gates are up, the cupboards are latched, and the outlets are plugged. Look out cats!

Teething Trauma

Hannah had just gotten over a 2-week cold when she began cutting her very first tooth. She was miserable for an entire weekend! She had a fever, had trouble eating, and was just in a lot of pain. We tried everything: baby Orajel, infant Tylenol, frozen chew toys, frozen watermelon and more. She is finally getting back to her old self, and is her smile ever cute, now!

Water Baby

Hannah had so much fun playing in Brian's parents' pool. They cranked up the thermostat so the pool water felt like bath water. She would splash, splash, splash her hands until her face got all wet. Then she would splash, splash, splash some more. Brian's parents couldn't wait to get her into a new floating boat they found for her; it has pictures of animals on it that make sounds when you touch them. Very cool.

Our last summer hurrah

Well, it has been a while since I last updated this page, so here goes. Our last summer hurrah was a trip back to Minnesota and Wisconsin to visit our families. Hannah was certainly not a neglected child with all the grandmas and grandpas, great-grandmas and great-grandpas, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends and neighbors wanting to hold her! I don't think I had to change a diaper or give her a bath the whole week! But, somehow, I DID have to get up with her when she woke up in the middle of the night. Hmmmm......

I was so excited to go back to Minnesota at this time of year because we were able to go to the Great Minnesota Get-Together: The MN State Fair! We ate tons of tasty food (lots of deep-fried stuff, of course), and looked at all the exhibits. My brother, Tim, won a HUGE gorilla playing a game at the Midway. He spent less than $5.00 to win it! It barely fit in the car on the way home!
