6 Month Photo Shoot

Hannah is changing everyday. Love that I'm able to capture all these changes each month. Thought the photos turned out great considering she hasn't been feeling well lately.

Hannah Kate You are Half a Year Old!!!!

Hannah you make me smile everyday. You are my heart and the love of my life. Every day I feel more blessed to be your mom. I wake up thinking how truly grateful I am to have such a wonderful baby.

How can it be that 6 months ago on this day I was in labor preparing for you to come into this world? Everyone said it would go by too fast and it has. These next 6 months will be gone in a flash and we will be celebrating your first birthday before we know it.


I treasure each second I'm around you. I tell you everyday how special you are and how wanted you are. You changed me for the better. My heart wasn't near whole until you came into my life.

You have also captivated your daddy's heart completely . He gets such a kick out of making you laugh. He thinks it's so funny and so do I. You are his little "chicken cat" (Don't ask me where he came up with that name I don't really know) :)


Already you have changed so much. You aren't the snuggley newborn you were just a few months ago. You really are noticing the world more and want to see everything. You can roll over, sit up on your own, laugh, smile, blow bubbles, eat baby food, and so much more. I'm excited to see what milestone you will accomplish next. I hope it's saying your first word, "Mama"


Today was your 6 month check-up. You did great. We are still battling an ear infection, but hopefully that will clear up soon. Other than that you are perfectly healthy.

Here are some stats:
Weight: 17lbs 8oz (80th percentile)
Height: 26.5" (75th percentile)
-You wear 6 month clothes and are moving into 6-9month
-You wear a size 3 diaper
-You are sleeping okay. Lately you are hungry in the middle of the night so we need you to work on sleeping all the way through again.
-You still eat 5 oz bottles every 3 hours
-You are such a happy baby most of the time
-You had a double ear infection this month and a cold
-You went on your second big road trip to Taos,NM and did great. We had so much fun!

-So far you have tried brown rice cereal, bananas, apple sauce, peas, and sweet potatoes. You loved everything.
-You are such a content little baby. Sometimes I don't even know you're there. You play by yourself well and I think you are starting to play with the other babies in your day care too.
-You started sitting up unassisted and you love it. It's your favorite thing to do.
-You still are really drooling but no teeth yet
-You are going to get to meet the last of your great-grandmas this week and she is so excited!!!
-You had a flu shot and it made you have a fever. Have to remember that one :(
-You are so stinkin cute and get more beautiful all the time


Hannah you are doing so well for someone who's only been on this earth for a very short time. I look at you and my heart smiles. You are my precious baby girl and I love you so much!!!

Hannah Update and More

Well I finally have a moment to sit down and blog. It's been really tough to do these last few weeks. I'm just really busy at work and at home. Hannah is really changing. I no longer have a sweet sleepy little newborn. She is a very active almost 6 month old. Wow!

Here are some things we have been up to lately:

We had Brittany's baby shower for Harlan a few weeks ago. It was really nice. Can't wait to see his nursery. I go to Dallas in 2.5 weeks and I'll get to see it then.

I finally got my hair cut. It's been awhile. I think over a year. They cut 5" off and it's still really long.

Hannah went to her fist First Friday Art Trail. She did really well, but it was pretty crowded so we didn't stay long. At least she got to see her Grandpa.




Hannah went to her first Tech tailgating (sorry no pictures) It was really hot but I took her anyway. We didn't stay long and I'm glad because a huge dust storm blew in during the second quarter of the game. Yuck!!!

Brandon's Pedi Cab business started up again. They got some great sponsors this year for the games and the drivers did really well.



Hannah started eating solids. I decided to make her some baby food using the guidance of this website So far she has tried brown rice cereal, mashed up bananas, sweet potatoes, peas, and apple sauce. She loved everything. We even got her highchair out and she ate in that this morning. It was cute.



Hannah also started sitting on her own last week. She is such a big girl. She even got promoted into the next baby classroom at daycare. She is doing so well!

Lastly I decided since I was being so domestic by making my own baby food, I thought I would try being really crafty and make some bows for Hannah. It looks so easy online. Ha! It's not. I failed miserably on my first attempts. I'll try again soon to see if I can do better. (To embarrassed to post pictures)



Well that's it for now. We are off to Taos, NM this weekend for Britt's sister Cayle's wedding. Can't wait. A little mountain air should do us all good.
