Anniversary/Strawberries

Today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary! Michael surprised me this morning with a card and a WillowTree figurine! I saw some guys in the strawberry field picking yesterday so my plan was to find a stand that was selling them! I went and got the chocolate to make chocolate dipped strawberries and then found a stand open right by our house. I bought a half flat of big pretty strawberries and set them on the seat next to Hannah. I didn't think she could reach them, but boy was I wrong! I hear her making noises and going "mmmm" and turn around to see her going to town on a huge strawberry! I had to wait until we got home to take a pic and by that point it was over 1/2 gone! The second one is my favorite!Once we got inside, I washed off a few and handed her one without the stem and she ended up eating three more! She did really well and LOVED them! It will be fun to take her to the Strawberry Festival this year, I doubt she will sleep through it like she did last year! At least she likes fresh fruit like her mother!

Hannah and her baby!

She is going to make a great big sister...

Well, maybe not yet...

But hopefully she will be ready by September when she becomes one!I am currently 10 1/2 weeks and everything looks good! I had my third ultrasound on Thursday and it looks like a little gummy bear with a heart rate of 155! I am a little overwhelmed at the thought of 2 under 2, but I am hoping for lots of great advice from those of you that have been there!

Valentines Day!

For three days before Valentines I dressed Hannah in red and pink to celebrate! You know the cabinet with the tupperware that I talked about in my last post, well, Hannah decided she would try to fit in that cabinet. She then got stuck and like any good mother, I took a picture before I rescued her! :)On Valentines Day she wore this cute outfit that says LOVE and has a heart shaped zipper! She has had a runny nose for the last few days, so we didn't go anywhere but the grocery store. We cooked steaks and ate at home. It was the perfect way to spend V-Day! :)

I wanted to get some cute pics of Hannah and show all of you her "cheesy face"! It is a new thing she does ALL the time. She will just be playing and look up at me and CHEESE! It is SO cute! So here are some regular smiles:And here are the cheesy ones: So much has changed since last year:

Messes!

The other night Hannah was playing with her toys and decided to just crawl in the basket and have a seat. She is such a knuckle head sometimes! :)We "childproofed" the downstairs and there are two small cabinets on each side of the oven that we couldn't put a latch on, so I just moved all of my tupperware into one of them and my stand up cookie sheets are in the other. Hannah has gotten very good at taking all the bowls and lids out and spreading them all over the kitchen and living room. I am constantly re-stacking them and putting them away, but five seconds later, they are all back out! Here she is playing with them and a view of my floor afterwards. Also, she got a bath time basket ball hoop and I stuck it on the dishwasher and she loves it! She carries the balls around and puts anything small enough in the net!Hannah, like her mother, loves pasta! Today for lunch I made some penne noodles with sauce and some garlic toast, so this is the result...Check out where she rubbed it in her hair...She was very happy about the meal! This is one of those things that I would much rather feed her and avoid the mess, but I am slowly letting go and letting her make the mess. I know it is the only way that she will learn!

What a Week!

It has been a pretty crazy week for our family, as most of you know. Little Garrett was born last Friday (happy 1 week little man!) at less than 26 weeks. He seems to be doing as well as can be expected and you can continue to keep up with him at Carla and Heath's blog http://icenhower-family.blogspot.com

Hannah went for her one year check-up on Tuesday and she now weighs 19.6lbs and is 29 1/2in. The sad thing is she is already almost half as tall as her mother at one (I am only 63in)! She is growing and learning so much now! I finally have the link to her one year pictures I had made at JC Penney, so feel free to check them out.

Recent cuteness!

Should have posted this before, but here is Hannah's Santa picture. Luckily this year, she liked him! Lets hope it stays that way!Here is Hannah just being cute! This purple dress she got from the Blockers and is now big enough to wear. She wore it to church this Sunday! And yes, she is still carrying around the frog!Cute "cow" outfit that she got from Carla and Heath. Look at the ears on the hood! :)

Happy Birthday Hannah!

On Sunday the 4th, we celebrated her first birthday! I decided on a ladybug theme because I found this cute outfit and because then it would be red, white and black and I could get a picture blown up for her bedroom! We were so glad we were able to spend her first birthday with family! We will probably just celebrate it early while we are home for Christmas in the future, but the first one is just special (at least in my opinion)! Here she is playing around the house, enjoying all the attention!Grandma with Jacob and Hannah...Party guests hanging out waiting on the pizza...GG playing with Parker Gosnell. She was born in June and almost weighs the same as Hannah! She is so cute! Eating dinner before the cake and ice cream dessert! Gotta get the good stuff in there first!Carla and her baby bump and Kathy! Kathy made Hannah's cake and she did a fantastic job! It was perfect and I was so glad that her first cake was home made with love, even if it wasn't me that made it!Parker's big sister, Rylee looking at the cake...The cake and ladybug cupcakes...Hannah ready to dig in!Hannah with her own cupcake!Trying it out, thinking she likes it...Liking it more, with a little help from KK and Daddy putting icing on her nose!Her cupcake and small scoop of ice cream on the tray...The mess at the end...Presents, after she had her bath of course!We realized that we had not taken any full family pictures while we were in town and it is so seldom that we are all in the same place and not in our jammies or sweats, so we decided after the party to take a quick family photo! We had a great time and as usual, it was hard to leave knowing that we were taking Hannah away from her grandparents, but we had stayed as long as possible! We are glad to be home and working on getting Hannah back on schedule, but wish that our home was a little closer to OK!
