Still don't have much extra time, but here's the Cutie! Maybe I'll have a video for you later of Hannah and her favorite toy....the CD player in her room. :)

We've been a busy bunch lately....hope to catch up soon!

All orders placed from December 15th through December 27th will not be shipped until December 28th.

Just working on wrapping Christmas gifts today! :)

We've had a full December so far! It has finally started to get cold in Wisconsin....so Hannah's been wearing her "warmy-warms" when we go out. Miss Banana also tried bananas this week....her own, not mooching from mama's banana, she loves them, of course! Now that she has teeth I have to be careful when sharing my apple or banana with her that she doesn't bite little pieces off! Saturday we went to the Elkhorn Christmas parade, Hannah's Grandpa John was driving the float with Grandma Carol's barbershop group on it, and as we were walking down to the parade, we stopped to take some pictures at the santa and elf cut-outs. :) And silly Hannah with a washcloth on her head in the "jumpy-jump." She loves that thing lately...I'm struggling with what all to pack for our trip to Kansas...I know I want to bring the bumbo, cause she sits in there to eat, but I kinda also wanna bring the jumpy-jump, cause it's her favorite thing latley, but I have to leave room for things like luggage, gifts, and the pack'n'play. What to do, what to do!?

We had a fun Thanksgiving week. :) Hannah tried carrots this week and likes them a lot! Another new thing this week, cloth diapers! Since Hannah started sleeping in the crib, we've been having problems with leaky diapers...mostly because she rolls over onto her tummy, and the front half of the diaper just isn't absorbent enough...we tried doubling up on disposables, which was better, we wouldn't wake up with a soaked bed, but we still had leaks and wet jammies. So we tried a couple different cloth varieties, the Flip and the Econobum, and the Flips were awesome, with no leaks all through the night...the Econobums are ok during the day, but we still had leaks at night, so the Flip will be our nighttime diaper of choice.

Hannah also has something else new: a cold. :( She woke up with a fever the other night, so we've been doing the tylenol to keep that down, and now that her temperature is under control she has a terribly stuffy nose...and she HATES the booger-sucky thing. :(

Also new: Hannah's second tooth came through on Friday!

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun, Thursday we went to Jason's dad's, and Hannah had fun with her cousins, and then Saturday we went to Terrie's for Christmas cookie baking with Jason's mom and siblings...Timmy was very excited to be the BIG cousin to Hannah, and Daddy read them a book back in the "cozy corner" in Timmy's bedroom, so cute!

I still haven't taken pictures of scrapbook pages...but we canceled Hannah's therapy for tomorrow, since she's been running a temp, so we'll see if maybe I have a few minutes to do that. Have a great week! We are excited about starting some Christmas decorating!

So much going on!
Hannah got her first tooth just after turning 5 months old. Last Monday we tried peas...and that face says it all: she kept gagging. So mama went and bought a bag of frozen peas and made her own baby food, much cheaper and tastier, Hannah now loves peas...tonight we do carrots. :)
This weekend we did the new kitchen floor...mostly Jason, but I helped a little and supervised. :) I showed you a close-up of before, cause just like everything in this house...it wasn't nearly as frightful from far away. I am LOVING the new floor, so happy with it! Jason wants to get more of the same flooring and continue it into the dining room, I think it will look nice.
Anyway...we have to go finish straining the carrots, have a good week!
