I know it's been a month, but life is busy with an 8 month old. Hannah continues to grow like a weed! As does her hair, as you can see it's no longer ridiculous to put a bow in it! She's learning new things all the time- she's working on picking things up with her fingers and feeding herself, cutting 3 teeth, talking all the time, and is very happy and playful. Here are some recent pics, and check back in soon- because we'll soon post video of Hannah crawling! Hannah sitting with Follow-me Fred..... he's supposed to encourage crawling

Hannah telling Fred who's the boss!

The ultimate motivation for Hannah to learn to crawl forwards, instead of in reverse.

A visit with Auntie Kim

Doing her share of work around the house as well.

We had a wonderful time celebrating Hannah's first Christmas. Here are some of our favorite pictures.

Hannah loved the wrapping paper

And she loved her cards

She even had her own stocking

As you can see, Hannah loves her big ball with tags too.

We had a nice trip to El Paso before Christmas to see all of our family, but all the activity left us feeling pretty tired.

Hannah and her great-grandmother

Here are some pics of Hannah exploring the world of solids and sippy-cups!

Hannah and Daddy

We opted to forgo the costume and trick-or-treating this year- but still got creative with the pumpkins!

Here's a few of our recent favorites. Can't believe how fast she's growing!
