Lipstick Girl

Hannah found Mommy's lipstick and was thrilled with herself for putting it all over her face. It's a shiny one that I put over top, so it's hard to see, but it's all over her temples and eyes, cheeks, mouth and chin. Beautiful girl!

Christmas Stockings

We were setting up Christmas last week and Hannah decided to try on our stockings. She got hers and Daddy's on and put Brent's slippers on as well. We had lots of fun putting up the Christmas tree. Hannah has been great at not touching it. Last year we had a half decorated tree, but it looks like this year we'll make it through the holidays with everything still on.

Baby Update: 36 Weeks

Only three more weeks! It's getting cramped in there! Kicking and shoving have replaced the early swooping and rolling—there's simply no more room! He is about 17 inches long and weighs about five pounds. From now on his growth will be slow and steady as he continues to put on weight and fill out. Mom is feeling well. I have been nesting for about eight months now. I am anxious to get Christmas ready so that I can finally relax. Hannah is beginning to sense the change. She has gotten very snugly lately. She even cried this past weekend when Daddy held her cousin and said "MY Daddy!" We'll see how that turns out!

Chistmas Dress

Notice the matching bruise on her forehead. Hannah fell off of the stage at our church building on Saturday evening. We were there for a church party and we were the only one's telling our child to quit playing up there. I thought we were being paranoid until she was the only child who fell off the stage!
This is Hannah's Christmas dress. I found it yesterday and couldn't resist taking pictures.

Baby Update: 25 Weeks

We are doing well! We have a bouncing baby boy, literally, and he makes my tummy roll and roll. During these last weeks, he is gaining weight. He's developed sleeping patterns (and they often have little to do with night and day!) Our little bouncer may be around four and a half pounds right now! Only four more weeks until birth day.

Summer, Hannah & Jack
Hannah was told to sit back because she was blocking the other two.
Our friends, Heather and Dustin Enslinger, had their baby boy by c-section on Saturday afternoon. Jack weighed 10 lbs 10 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. We went to the hospital to visit on Monday morning. It was great for Hannah to see the hospital and get a feel for how things are going to be for her in a few weeks.

Snow!!!

We had snow yesterday! Hannah was thrilled to go outside and play in it. She doesn't seem to remember it from last year, so she had a great time re-discovering.
