Hannah Update Finally!!!

Well finally I have a moment to sit down and blog. My little baby turned 5 months since I last posted. She is doing so wonderful and experiencing new things everyday.

Here are some stats as of lately.

-You weigh 16.5 lbs and are 26" long
-You wear 3-6 months, 6 month, and some 6-9 months clothes (I laugh when I see 0-3 month clothes in the drawer or closet and say there is no way you can fit in those anymore)
-You wear size 2 diaper but we will be moving you into a 3 soon
-You still sleep really well. Usually you go down to be around 7pm and sleep til 5:30-6am. Sometimes you make it to 7:30am
-You eat 5 oz bottles during the day every 3 hours
-You still are pretty content most of the time

-You started spitting up more. I still think it has to do with your runny nose.
-You had your first sickness this week. You have the Croup :(
-You are also drooling a lot so maybe you are teething
-You went on your first trip to Oklahoma City and did really well. It's easier to travel with you in the evening. You slept almost the whole way to OKC
-You met your 2nd of 3 great-grandmas and she loved spending time with you.

-You also met 2 of your great uncles.
-You will take your second road trip in a couple of weeks to Taos, NM
-You smile all the time and started laughing a lot more too.
-You really love animals. You love our fish tank and stare at it with amazement. You also think Teensy is pretty fun too.
-You still roll from front to back only. Correction you just rolled from back to front this morning. Way to go Hannah!!!
-You love sucking on your toes now. They are your favorite toy :)

-You ate rice cereal for the first time the other day and bananas yesterday for the first time. You loved both. I think you are going to like all foods. More on this topic later.


I love you so much Hannah. You are the light of my and your daddy's life. You make my heart smile everyday and I feel so blessed to call you my daughter. Can't believe you are almost half a year old. Time just slips away so fast. I cherish every moment I get to spend with you.

I still need to blog about our trip to Oklahoma City, Brittany's baby shower, and starting solid foods, but it's a start.

I wish I had time to blog, but I don't. Many updates to come soon I promise. For now here are some recent photos I took of HK :)

Busy Busy Weekend

Well I really don't have much to update. Hannah and I had a busy weekend last weekend. On Saturday was Britt's sisters bridal shower. I decided to bring Hannah. I thought she would do well since it was only an hour. Well she didn't really do that great. As soon as we got there she started fussing like she was hungry. So I fed her and then got some food for myself. The party was lovely by the way. First class for sure! After I had a quick bite I had Hannah in my lap and she all the sudden projectile spit up all over the nice floors. Luckily I was quick with the burp rag and cleaned it up. She just wasn't her usual calm self and it made for an "interesting" morning.

This was us before the party. Thought Little Miss looked so cute.


My friend Kari and her husband Brad were here from OKC for her 10 year high school reunion so we met up with them for lunch. We will be traveling to OKC not this weekend but the next so we will see them again. I'm so glad we are still in touch after all these years not living in the same city. We can go a long time without seeing each other and it feels like nothing has changed. Love my Kari :)

Saturday night I was up late baking cupcakes for the Cayle's recipe shower and luncheon. They turned out great! I made Snickerdoodle cupcakes with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Delicious! However, I had to get up early the next morning and make more because my first batch didn't make enough.

This is the invitation I designed for the shower.


Sunday I was in a rush to get things done for the luncheon. It was a busy day, but everything turn out so nice. (Pictures to be posted soon). 29 people came and it was one of the nicest showers I've ever been to. Everyone had a great time and the food was great.

Cayle is getting married in like 38 days in Taos, NM and I can't wait. Just bought my dress yesterday for it. Got in on sale at 65% off for $35!!! Now if I could only find Hannah a dress then we'll be set.

Here some photos to brighten your day :)

This and That

We had a great weekend just hanging out with family and Brandon worked on the backyard. I got a manicure and pedicure which was great and greatly needed. That is one thing that I have neglected after having Hannah so it was nice to have them done.



Monday was a hard day for me. Monday's are the worst for me. After spending all weekend with my baby it's so hard to go back to work. I struggle Monday's to focus on work when all I want to do is go get Hannah. I know this is something I need to really work on and overcome.

Tuesday I took the day off, but it didn't feel like a day off. I laid around in the morning and that afternoon we went to the doctor to get Brandon set up with his diabetic insulin pump. It's been a long time coming. Everything went well and we are now in the process of getting his insulin rates regulated, but so far so good. The biggest adjustment for him I think is wearing the pump all the time. Sleeping with it is an adjustment because he tosses and turns and it's a little more difficult to do that with the pump attached at his hip.



Tuesday night we went over to a friend's house for a barbecue. I didn't know how Hannah would do. She didn't do very well at all. This baby is pretty much in the routine of playing after we get home from day care til 7pm and then bath, bottle and bed by 7:30pm. So we really through her off her schedule and she was pretty upset about it. We survived, but I don't think I'll be taking her to a party at night anytime soon.

This weekend is Brittany's sister Cayle's wedding shower. Saturday is her big Lubbock shower and Sunday Mom, Brittany, and I are hosting a recipe shower and luncheon for her. I can't wait to see how everything turns out. I'm sure I will be very tired come Sunday night, but my cousin Joel and his wife are coming to stay with us so we need to get the house cleaned. Hope they won't mind a crying baby in the middle of the night. It will probably reinforce their desire not to have kids for a while. Ha!

Hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend :)
