Twenty Six Months


Hannah is really enjoying being a big sister. She LOVES to bring me things like the pacifier or burp cloth. If Abigail is crying she will gently pat her and say it's OK. She helps me burp her and requests to hold her from time to time. In the photo above she put her hand on Abigail's head all on her own. So sweet! She is still ever the mimic and it's fun to watch her pretend play. She rocks her toys, wraps them in blankets, puts them to sleep, burps them, tells them it's OK, and changes their diapers.

Hannah is fascinated with words right now. She knows they say things and will point and repeat "that say" over and over until you tell her what it says. We've decided to take advantage and begin teaching her letters. She now knows A,B,C,H,O, and X. We've shown her D once or twice, but she doesn't quite remember it yet. Ever the observer she finds these letters in books, on toys, our clothing, and many other places.

Hannah is finally getting some more teeth. The two canine teeth on the bottom have poked through the gums. Thankfully they weren't too painful and only bothered her a little. You can't see them in this picture, but it's still cute!

LOVE watching Hannah and Nathan play together. She LOVES her daddy. They play all sorts of silly games. She gets excited when he comes home from work and comes running around the corner to give him hugs.

One Month

Can't believe it's already been a month. We finally finished Abigail's newborn photo session. It was hard! I think we got some cute photos though. Many many thanks to my mom for taking and editing them! Here's a few of my favorites:
Love the hair sticking up!

We started sleep training last week because Miss Abigail would only sleep if one of us was holding her. LOVE snuggling with her, but she needs to learn sleep in her own bed. I am pleased to say training is going well. We still have some rough moments, but for the most part she is going to sleep quicker and staying asleep longer than she was before.

One more photo before I go. Hannah decided she wanted to join the monkey photo this month. Love my sweet girls!

Birthday and Christmas

I know this is 2 months late, but December and January were very busy. We just had a small family birthday celebration. Thanks to my mom for making the cute cake. Hannah loved it and can still tell you who ate which cupcake! She also enjoyed blowing out the candles. If fact we had to light them 3 times. =)



Hannah was at a very fun age this year. She LOVED opening presents...even if they weren't for her. She helped carry packages to everyone Christmas day and then unwrapped the gift for them. =)
