Month 5

Dear Hannah,

    Weve made it to the 20 week mark! And you are cuter than ever! Right now Jessica has you on the floor and is blowing on your stomach and you are screaming with laughter! It is adorable! You are allllways the life of the party! Mommy doesn't exist anymore. People dont even say hello to me! They go straight for you! And that is completely ok, because you are now an extension of me and I couldn't be more pleased and in love. You have begun reaching out for things and grabbing them and just shaking them and EVERYTHING goes in your mouth! Whether its Buddy's tail, or my hair, or something off of the floor, you are tasting it! And when your not trying to eat stuff off the floor and Xmas lights, you are eating solids now.You absolutely love Sweet Potatoes and Applesauce. Those are your favorite foods. It's hard to get you to take a bottle now because you want some of that good food. Nana and MeMe got you to try some velveeta cheese from the Green bean casserole at Thanksgiving dinner and you went NUTS! You are babbling a lot now. I can see in your eyes that you are trying to tell me something but just cant find the words. Im working on Mama, hoping it will come out before DaDa, but only you know. I fall more and more in love everyday and am loving to watch you grow. Oh and growing you are!! Almost 17 pounds and only 5 months old. Your MeMe calls you chunky monkey! But Mommy thinks you are just perfect! My perfect little angel.                                                                               Love, Momma

Chubby Cheeks

Look how cute Hannah is!! Love those chubby cheeks!

Month 4

Well my sweet baby, we have made it past month 3! What an exciting month it has been! So many milestones have happened this month. You started gripping things with your hands open instead of with your fists clenched. Every thing that you touch you immediately have to bring it to your mouth to try to chew on it. You will chew on anything you can get your hands on; your toys, your teethers, my FINGER! You chewed my finger so hard yesterday that it was hurting when I woke up this morning :)
I think you may be teething because you have been drooling alot and knawing on anything you can find! You have also started responding to me by sticking out your tongue and you just started screaming! I mean SCREAMING!! When you are excited you just scream out loud like crazy! It drives your Daddy insane! But as long as you are happy, thats all that matters. We started giving you some solid food this month too. You loved peas and sweet potatoes but weren't so crazy about bananas. Heck you pretty much will eat anything! You dont get that from your picky Momma and Daddy, that's for sure. You started staying overnight with your MeMe, and Aunt Jennifer this month. You were always a precious angel for them and then you'd get home and be fussy with me! Oh well, i'm sure I have alot of that to look forward to. I love you so much, and cant wait to see what this month holds for us! Love, Your Momma

3 Months

Well Hannah, we've made it 3 months! This has been the 3 most beautiful months I have ever experienced! It is so neat to watch you grow. Every day it seems that you do something new! You started laughing this month, and I don't mean a little laugh. I mean a loud Hee-Haw laugh like your Mama! You also started grasping at your toys that hang from your bouncy chair. It is so funny to watch you try to grab them and then get mad because you can't. When we stick our tongue out at you, you mock us and then we clap really loud and you jump, like your saying "What the heck is wrong with you!" There are some times when I'm just talking to you or singing to you when you look at me or Daddy like, "Man God gave me a bum deal with these crazy parents!" But then there are the other times when you just look at me and smile and I know you love me and know I'm your Mommy. I still stare at you in wonder. I know i've had three months to get used to you, but it is so amazing to me that we made this perfect little miracle. So many billions of people have been born in this world, including myself but for some reason it's like you are the only one. To me and Daddy you ARE the only one. You are an angel in disguise my sweet baby and I cannot wait to see what you do next. Thank you so much for coming into my life, and showing me what I was missing!      Love, Your Momma

Month 1

July 23, 2010
Hannah, my sweet angel, you are now one month old. There are not enough words to express how happy you have made me and how absolutely precious you are. You are lying in my lap as I write this in the middle of the night. I always thought that it must be horrible to have to wake at all hours of the night to feed a baby, and how tiring it must be and with you, it has been quite the opposite. These middle of the night feedings are our time; time for me to talk to you and stare in amazement at how perfect you are and how much I don’t deserve you. How could anyone deserve someone so absolutely perfect as you. This month has been the best month of my life. Your Nana has been with us this month and she is as much in love with you as I am. Everyone that lays their eyes on you loves you. How could they not? You are such a sweet baby, and you bring joy to so many people.
I will never forget the moment in the hospital when I first heard your precious voice. I was overcome with emotions, and your daddy was as well. We never could have known just how beautiful you would be. The hospital was full of people. There were so many people waiting to see you that they filled up the waiting room! You probably had stars in your eyes for awhile because of all the camera flashes. You have to be the most photographed baby of all time! People came to the house to see you every day for a couple of weeks and finally the flocks died down and we got to have some alone time. I cherish these times.
I read a story to you each night and you look me right in the eyes like you understand every single word. I love these times, and cant wait until you can tell me which story is your favorite. Another neat thing about you is that from the very first moment I saw you, you smiled. You smile more than any other baby I’ve ever seen. You fill my heart with joy. I cannot get enough of you and look forward to many happy times with you in the future. You are my heart and soul, and I want you to know you always will be.     Love, Your Momma

My Blog Birthday!

So here it is! My blog is born. I've started this blog for my daughter, Hannah. She is one month old, and my first child. I want her to have something to remember me by when I'm gone, and therefore this blog will be about my life, including my husband Joey, my daughter Hannah, my two dogs, three cats and all of the other crazy characters in my life! I posted one of my favorite pictures of Hannah. I just cant get enough of her and can't wait for you to get to know her through my blog as well!
