Twenty Three Months

We did lots of fun things in the last month. My mom and I took Hannah to the Dallas Arboretum to take pictures with the pumpkins. Hannah enjoyed riding in her wagon and looking at people, flowers, pumpkins, etc. However, she did NOT want to pose for pictures. She wanted to PLAY. I think we managed to get two good shots and if you look closely you can see that we are holding on tight to keep Hannah still. =) Just realized I don't have those photos from my mom yet, so you'll have to wait until another post.

Hannah has enjoyed her 10 week music class at church. Tomorrow is our last class and I know she will miss going. The week before Halloween they let all the kids come in costume and we took a group picture. LOVE the peacock costume in the middle. That's one creative mommy!


Nathan and I decided months ago that Hannah should dress up as a monkey this year. It's not very girly, but we call her little monkey so we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We did add a pink bow and tutu to the costume so she wouldn't look like a boy. =) She wasn't too sure about the costume at first, but warmed up and then asked to wear it. We still wear the tutu some days while playing at home.


Our church has done a Fall Festival for the last several years and our ABF (Sunday School) class always decorates a booth. Hannah enjoyed walking around the festival this year, but didn't really want to play any games. During our shift to work she entertained herself by taking handfuls of candy from the booth bucket and putting them in her bag. She has no idea what candy is and didn't eat any of it. But it sure was fun to grab! =)


Then the following Sunday we met my parents and sister at another local church for their Trunk or Treat. The parking lot was set up with decorated cars and kids walked by and got candy. Hannah even surprised us by agreeing to ride on the pony. She seemed to have fun and got to wear her costume one more time. =)

Dallas Zoo

So we went to the zoo a month ago and I'm just now getting around to posting about it. Better late than never right! =) We took advantage of cooler weather and rode the DART train down to the zoo. We only saw part of the zoo so Hannah could come home and take a nap. We had lots of fun and enjoyed watching Hannah see the animals. If you ask her about the zoo she can still tell you some of the things she saw. Here's a few pictures!
She posed for the picture and then said "all done elephant."


First ride on a merry-go-round. Not to sure about it.

Waiting for the train to go back home.
