Trip to RVA

The weekend of March 21 we packed up and went to Richmond to visit family. Remi's sister is a drama teacher at Goochland High School and they were doing their spring musical "Charlie Brown" so my mom kept Hannah and we all went to see the play! It was awesome! A small cast but a very talented one! She picked the right person for the part! During the day on Saturday Remi took Hannah with him and hung out with his dad and brother while I caught up with a friend over lunch! Yay for ME time!!!! It was really busy weekend but they always are!!!! Here are some pictures from the weekend! Enjoy!!

Grandma your feeding me baby food?? I eat real food now! haha Her face is priceless!!


Just crusing.....


Here comes Hannah cotten tail....hopping down the bunny trail.......


Our Saturday night out!


Aunt Gemma and Hannah!

Goldfish Theft!

Look who learned a new trick! NOW I pull her highchair out and away from the hutch where we keep her snacks! She seriously amazes us each and everyday! This particular day we were gathered around the table and she was eating her meal and noticed the goldfish and recognized the bag and started grabbing for them, I said well if she can get them without spilling any then she deserves them!! Well what do ya know?? She got them!!! She had a few and was happy!!!

She's such a little turkey!!!

Birthday Party!!

Hannah and her BFF Madeline! They are so cute together!



Finally here are "some" pictures from Hannah's birthday party in Maryland with her playground friends! I LOVE that we were able to get a picture of ALL the kiddies basically sitting still and looking at the camera! AMAZING! We had a great turn out even though it was pouring down rain the entire time! All the kids were great!

Hannah is already such a girl! We were opening presents and with all the clothes she picked them up and put them on her head like she was getting dressed!!! Too cute!!!!

Thanks for everyone who made her day so special!!! We love you!!!

Chow time! She's such an eater!


:)



All the little monkey's!


My girl and I!


The delicious cake Remi made and my mom and dad decorated!

Uh ohhh.....

Here's an idea of what all Hannah has been getting into as she approached (and reached) the ONE YEAR mark!!!

Playing with daddy's drills, throwing things out of the dishwasher, breaking mom's favorite candle holder (which I still need to replace!!!) The candle breaking was really scary! She liked to crawl over to it and shake it and I think we had just gotten her cleaned up from dinner put her down to clean up (prob so the dog wouldn't jump on the table and clean up himself) and she got over to it and knocked it down! She cried, it made a lot of noise! :( But she didn't get any glass on her so that was what is important, climbing into the drawer with all the cookie sheets, the washer and dryer!!! She's really into the dryer, pulls things out, puts them in and tries to climb in herself! So we helped her out! Don't worry it was NOT warm inside so she didn't hurt herself!!

She's into everything and loves to explore! We are aware she will break more things that we like have expected it BUT to make things fair Hannah Elise we will capture it on camera for you!!!!! To show you what trouble you were! haha kidding your an amazing child and we love seeing you change and learn every single day! Bring it on!

Hannah's FIRST cupcake! (with icing)

Happy Birthday baby girl! I can't believe you are 1 year old!!!! It's been an amazing year!! We love you very much and can't wait to watch you grow up! xoxoxoxo

It's my BIRTHDAY!!!


Grandma and GeeGee singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!


It's CUPCAKE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!


Not to sure about the scary green icing piled on top!



Yum Yum Yum.....


I think she likes it!


Slowing down.......



SooOOoooOOoOOOoo MESSY!!!!!!!!!!!



BATH TIME!!!

New Playground

For Hannah's birthday we got her a little playground set. We had thought about getting a swing set but are not sure if we are going to add on and that would factor into where we place the massive swing set that Remi would build for her, so we got something a little smaller and something she can play on now! :)

It was nice nice day out (a few weeks ago) so we headed out back and put the thing together (well Remi did) she loved it! It's a swing with a rock wall then a mini slide. She can't quite do the rock wall yet. There's like 4 little pegs you climb up to get to the platform then it's the slide. She tries really hard but isn't quite there yet!!!!

She could swing all day or til something else catches her eye!!!

Mom can we go play yet??



Little Diva


Ahoy!!! Land Hoe!


Cutest little Captain around!


Her first of many falls.......but that's ok because


Daddy makes it all better!!!


Happy girl again! A few more swings then bath time!!!

Hannah's Party @ Playgroup!

Our baby girl is 1 year old! Oh my where did the year go???


Ok so this picture is not totally true, she's more like 18 1/2 pounds she kept squirming so the numbers kept jumping around!

At the 1 year appointment- 18 1/2 pounds, 29 inches long!
Healthy as can be! (aside from those pesky ear infections!!!)


We had a playgroup on her birthday at our friends house so I brought cupcakes!!


More please mommy???


My girl and me!


Time for presents!


Madeline helping her check out the tea set and Addison watching all the action!


I think this birthday girl had a GREAT day! Just wait baby girl till Saturday it's your party with ALL your friends and family!!!!!!!


Hannah it has been an amazing year with you! It's true to think "what did we do with all our time before you came into our lives"???? Your an amazing girl and we can't wait to watch you grow up!!! WE LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!!!!!

Going down..........

Here is a video from last week (I think) of Hannah going DOWN the stairs on her belly! It's the funniest thing! She's a bit faster now and is almost sliding on her belly down the steps at turbo speed! God help us when she starts walking, running.....or when it's time for the pool! She's fearless!!! I bet by the end of summer she will be jumping into the pool she's that crazy and LOVES to be tossed, thrown, wrestled with. In the bathtub she sits up and puts her face into the water and laughs! Like what 1 year old does that and enjoys it??? My HANNAH!!!!

On another note Remi got me (well he said it's for ME but I've taken like 10 pictures with it, and he has taken like 700) a new CAMERA!! I LOVE IT!!! It's a Nikon SLR with an amazing lens. We need to see about getting a different card reader b/c ours is not compatible. I guess we need a nicer, new one that deals with high resolution pictures? Also he said in the summer or whenever they offer it I will be taking a camera course at the community college! FINALLY will figure this camera out! The manual is like the size of a small paperback book! So...........that is why I have not been updating the blog the next few are from the old camera (ugh! haha) So enjoy it might be a while before the pictures from her 1ST BIRTHDAY are posted!

Welcome to Todder Times......

Well I had my first experience of Hannah dipping into Toddler Ville yesterday. We usually keep the bathroom doors shut b/c she has recently become obessed with the toilet and trash cans, pulling everything out the cabinets the list goes on.....but we have gotten relaxed since Remi has baby proofed the bathrooms minus the toilet because target didnt' seem to have the safety lids. I need to get those anyway! Back to my story.....

I was probably ignoring my child and letting the kiddies that I keep follow her around! haha Meaning I was on Facebook, blogging or on my Blackberry....... :) I could hear Hannah just not "see" her. Well check it out!

Uh OH!! Caught in action......


But how could I be mad??? It's the funniest things I've seen in a while!


So what do I do??? Grab the camera and video camera to capture these precious moments!!! And of course send a picture to Daddy at work!!


Hmmm...doesn't taste too good.....ya think Hannah!??


TP trailing along across the floor.....


The 3 of us were laughing and of course it only made it make more of a mess but it was first time and it was pretty funny. She rolled off the entire roll. At first when I went in there she was sitting on the stool by the TP roll just rolling the paper off. :) But when she saw us she quickly moved and stood up.

I think we are going to have a hard time holding back our laughs and picture takings when she really gets into things and says some things that are out of line. But for now it's all innocent and I'm all about letting her have fun and experience these things!!!!!

Hope this made you laugh and brightened your day as it did mine! :)
