Big Girl Bed

We bought Hannah a "Big Girl Bed" on Monday. She was THRILLED! We got it home and Daddy put it together with some help from Hannah. Once it was all put together, she jumped in and couldn't stop smiling, literally. We asked her to get out to give kisses and hugs and she did so very reluctantly, but was excited afterwords to jump back in all by herself. We've had some fun challenges this week with staying in the bed and getting to sleep later than we should, but she's adjusted well and has loved it.

Baby Update: 33 Weeks

The baby weighs about 4 pounds 5 ounces and his skin has turned from red to pink. He has started preparing for life outside the womb by storing iron in his liver. Momma is still feeling well. It's been fascinating to feel the differences between Hannah and this baby. Now that we know Hannah's personality, her movements make a lot of sense. I've been analyzing this child and trying to figure out what his movements mean. He is constantly kicking my ribs and has even bruised them, what does that mean? A few days ago he had the hiccups and he was very irritated at them. For about a half hour I felt hiccup, kick, hiccup, kick. It was funny for a few minutes, but then .... but hey, we know that he is healthy and doing well.

(Only 6 more weeks until our c-section!)

These are Hannah's 2 year old pictures. She looked adorable and performed very well. Enjoy! By the way, if you would ever like to save pictures to your computer, all you have to do is right click on a picture.

Pumpkin Carving

Hannah and Mom carved the cat pumpkin. She was a great helper and loved to pull out the pieces when Mom was done cutting them out. She did not, however, like the feeling of cleaning out the pumpkin. Brent carved the bat and the moon.

Drinking Yogurt

Hannah was thoroughly enjoying her yogurt this morning and decided that it would be even more fun to drink it. She came up for air with a ring of yogurt on her face. It's hard to see, but there is also yogurt on her nose.

Baby Update: 30 Weeks

Our baby boy is packing on the weight now! In the last two weeks, he's gained almost 12 ounces. He's a wrinkled little thing, but getting more "baby-like" by the day. Baby is doing gymnastics in there and Mom is sure feeling it. Momma is doing well, just uncomfortable.

The Last Bottle

It's official, Hannah is free from the bottle. Hannah will not drink milk unless it is in a bottle. The doctor told us to let her keep doing this until she was two. Well, our big girl had a birthday, so we decided that it was time. We pulled out all of her bottles and Hannah threw them in the garbage all by herself. She was a little hesitant, but did it. This is the last bottle before she threw it away and went to bed. This was two nights ago. Last night, Hannah didn't even ask for a bottle, even though it is very much a part of her bedtime routine. Today, the garbage truck drove by, and Hannah said "bottle garbage." She has let go and we are very proud of her for the difficult accomplishment. Yea Hannah!
