The start of a big step

Last night it was Hannah's first night without her "paci" (pronounced p haaa seee).  To ease her into this we gave her a paci present, a character from one of her favorite books - KNUFFLE Bunny.  After the exchange before bedtime reading, we put her in her crib...this was followed by 10 min of angry babbling and then quiet for the rest if the night.

Swimming Session 3!

Hannah is now in her 3rd session of

swimming lessons, 2nd for the year.  She loves

to tell you that she "fwims" and will gladly tell you

that she kicks and splashes.  She also likes to sing

the songs we do in class and loves to tell you she wears 

a "backpack" in class.  Adrian had the chance to come

to class with us while on vacation so he took some pictures

for us!

 There about 12 sets of parents and toddlers in her class

The teacher is to my left (w/o kid)

 We sing Humpty Dumpty and the "jump"

into the pool, safely!

a hug to Hannah.

The end of class, with just Momma!

Hannah's First Library Trip

Adrian has been on vacation this week 

and we stayed at home, which has been a blessing

 all around!  So we have been trying to think of things

to do outside the house together.  We had never

taken her to the library and thought it was long overdue

as we are sick of reading the same books

over and over again!  She was a bit overwhelmed

with all the books.  She found some toys

so she went to them, until I could wrangle her back

in to help me find books.  We will have to try this 

again and more frequently!

Out in the cold!

It has been an whirlwind of weather

here, as it has been everywhere.  The other night

before making dinner Adrian and I decided to walk 

to the grocery store near by.  Mind you it was only

17 degrees out!  So we got bundled up!  It reminded me

 of the movie Christmas Story, and Ralphy's little brother!

She did really good she walking over half

way too and from the store!  It was just a bit slow 

moving!

Hannah out and about

Hannah likes to go out everyday!  She does not leave to house without her Monkey hat and black boots!  Here she is reading her Noah book to me!

First Pic-toos of 2012

Hannah likes to sit on our lap while we are

at the computer.  She always asks us to see

pic-toos (aka pictures to everyone else)  As I am typing

this she is upset because I am not putting her on my lap

to look at pic-toos.

Adrian put her hat on and she got her purse 

and put somethings in her grocery cart.  Then she

said good bye and told us she was going to go to

Coco's house (aka Uncle Cory).  She walked all the way

to the stairs and then decided that she had gone.

I asked her what she did there and she told me she got

a hug and kiss from Coco and they talked.

Sweet moments with Hannah!
