Nine Months

Sorry this is a little late. We had issues taking our monkey photo this month. Hannah suddenly developed a fear of the monkey. She would take one look at him and CRY!
We spent all of last week playing with the monkey and reminding Hannah that he wasn't scary. Not sure where her fear came from, but glad she's likes her "friend" again. Note to self...spend time each week with the monkey so as not to repeat this experience. =)

Hannah also had her nine month check up last week. She is still on the small side (only 5th percentile for weight) but overall healthy. She is 15 pounds 11 ounces and 27 inches long. We just recently grew into size 6 month clothes. =) I was a small baby so I'm not worried and if she weighs less then she's lighter to carry!

We've added a few new pureed food this month: apples and peaches. Hannah is also enjoying finger food: cheerios, cheese, bread, puffs(gerber puffed rice cereal), blueberries (don't seem to like them), and grapes (still not sure about these either). We just recently finished off our frozen pureed carrots and peas so I plan to steam more and cut them small for her to feed herself.

Last but not least....the successful monkey photo:

Photo Sessions and Out Takes

So many people comment on all the cute photos of Hannah. I am so thankful for all the great memories we've captured! Thanks mom!!! She is very talented and has been practicing. However, we usually take 50-100 photos in order to get ONE really good one. Babies are HARD to photograph!!! I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the rejects or as we like to call them out takes!
HELP! The monkey is attacking me!


I'd rather eat my bow than wear it!

I'm going away now... you've taken enough photos!


Hannah just recently became interested in the monkey. She was pulling on his arms and picking off the fur. Silly girl!
