3 months old!!

Hannah - you are 3 months old!!
This past month has flown by and it seems like in the past week, you have started so many things! I can't even believe how big you're getting!


You have started finding your toes and want to grab them ALL the time! You grab them when we're changing your diaper, and when you wake up... you even grab them when you're eating!

One of your new favorite things is to watch the new mobile your Papa bought for you... you stare at it, and talk to it, and grab your toes all at the same time. Your favorite time to do this is when you wake up in the middle of the night! Your mommy and daddy wake up to hearing your sweet voice... although how sweet it is at 3 AM is up for debate :) The other day, your daddy went in to calm you down and try to get you back to sleep and when mommy came in to see if you were hungry... you were so loud that your daddy had to repeat himself 3 times!


You have also been holding your head up for longer and longer periods, all by yourself. You like to set in your Bumbo and look around at everyone.


You have also started grasping at toys recently... which has of course led to your mommy making weekly Target trips to buy you new toys! (I know, I know... I'm rediculous!!!)


Hannah - we love you so much and everyday we tell each other how amazing you are!


Happy 3 month birthday Boo!!!

Weekend at Mama and Papa's!

Every year, the Red Sox play the Texas Rangers in Arlington, TX (about 5 hours away) and since Eric is such a big Red Sox fan, we try to go every year to see them. Also, Dallas has some cool things/stores/restaurants that we don't have up here, so it's always a fun trip. Well, this year, they played them the weekend before last, so we decided that since Hannah was almost 3 months old, it would be a good time to see how she does overnight at my parent's house without us. We only went down for one night, but we crammed a bunch of stuff into the 20 hours we were there! We went to Ikea, and to dinner (hooray for my first margarita in a year!) and to the game. We were going to go on a Dallas Cowboys Stadium tour, but we didn't get a chance to - thanks to our GPS guiding us through the DFW Airport instead of the highway! For future reference, when trying to go somewhere that is new, make sure you have the updated maps on your GPS!

Eric and I had such a great time and it was really nice for us to get away, but we missed Hannah so much! Hannah, on the other hand, was in heaven - being held and played with all weekend! My parents live next door to my Aunt Pam, who was also soaking in some Hannah-time. Here are some pictures of her weekend away... she has her own space in one of the guest rooms (actually, it's more like Eric and I now have a bed in Hannah's room). She also had her first cold that weekend (I know... I'm a terrible mother for leaving her when she had her first cold, but in my defense, I thought it was just allergies!) But, that would explain her red eyes in some of the pictures! Thankfully, it didn't last long and she is feeling great now...


It's a shame she's always so neglected :)

Off to church (with poor red eyes!)


Playing with Papa

This was what I got my mom for Mother's Day this year... It says "That's it, I'm off to Grandma's" and at the bottom it says "The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is that they have a common enemy." I thought that was funny!

Truly My Daughter...

Our new favorite thing is to watch Hannah "talk" to us! And let me tell you, she talks ALL the time! Here she is talking while playing in her bouncer.




And here she is talking to her Daddy and telling him all about her day.
