This and That

One of the things I LOVE about what we do is that Hannah is my little sidekick.  She comes with me everywhere- Bible Studies, to the dorms, sororities, the Derb, StuMo night...you name it and if I'm there, so is Miss Hannah.  What a blessing to have a job like this!

And a perk for Miss Hannah is that she gets SPOILED by all these college girls.  Seriously, at the Derb today I think Hannah made approximately 60 new friends.  No kidding.  Apparently seeing a 6-month old in a college cafeteria causes people to wonder.... :)

Here's some photos of our latest adventures!

At the Zoo with Brittney!

At the Derb Bakery with Jasmine


Staring Contest with Jennifer at Bible Study
Hanging with Abby @ Healthy Attitude- obviously ready for nap

 And just because she is so stinkin' cute...
 Ta da.
 I think my baby should be a model.  She can pose for my iPhone like nobody's business.

My, oh my, I love that girl.

Lately

Whew!  Last week flew by for us.  I cannot believe how much we packed into just seven days.  Take a look:

Sunday:  We returned home from a weekend of training for our trip to India this summer.  We had a great time with our team and enjoyed some incredible Indian food in KC.  Hard to believe we leave in just a few short months!  Little Miss was zonked out when we got home. :)  So, to recover we let her watch some extra Baby Einstein.



Tuesday:  Valentines Day!  Bob and I both have busy Tuesday nights, but Hannah found time to give Daddy her Valentines Day card.  How can you not love this picture?  It melts my heart.

Wednesday:  Aunt Rebecca left for Australia for 6 months so we headed back to KC to see her off.  We tried to get a picture of Hannah with Rebecca, but she (Rebecca) protested because she had no make-up on.  Boo.  We also got in some good grandma time.  :)  Love that!
Hannah and Grandma D

Thursday:  StuMo hosts a Valentines Day Dessert and Dance every year and it is always a highlight for us!  We were really excited because all of our cheer friends were able to join us at the banquet.  What a privilege and blessing!  And of course, Hannah was busy stealing the show with all of her cuteness.  I mean, how could she not?



All the Cheer Ladies at the V-Day Banquet-- Gorgeous!


Friday:  Aunt Rebecca made it to Australia!  So fun to skype with you. :)  Stop by and see us in India on your way home to America!


See what I mean?  We were B.U.S.Y.  But, we wouldn't trade it for the world.  Here's to another great week!

Horizontal

Bob made an interesting observation the other day.  He leaned over to me and said, "Our little girl has been vertical a lot more than she's been horizontal recently."  True.  Oddly put, but true.

I remember when we brought our sweet little home from the hospital and she was so tiny.  So so tiny.  Every where I went people were asking me if she was a preemie.  (She wasn't).  But she was so little and she spent her whole days sideways, or horizontal.  Lying in my arms, lounging on daddy's chest, sleeping in her crib, playing on the floor.


Now, she's vertical.  And before long she's going to add direction to her descriptive adjectives.  Hannah wants to get up and move so badly.  Sometimes when I'm holding her she will literally JUMP out of my arms.  I have a feeling she'll keep me very busy when she starts moving.


So, our world is changing.  Vertical- here we come!

Animals

I've never really been an animal lover.  I don't necessarily mind them, but they're just not really my "thing."  I like dogs, do not like cats, and DEFINITELY do not like fish- unless I am eating them.  I've actually hyperventilated when swimming in the ocean.  Fish = gross.

For some crazy reason, Hannah girl is crazy about animals.  She thinks they are fantastic.  Especially if they are on Baby Einstein.  (Which, by the way, I never thought I would let me kids watch, and then I became a parent.) So, here's a quick little video of Hannah watching her FAVORITE Baby Einstein- "World Animals."  And yes, she has favorites.  The ones about art and shapes are apparently BORING.  :)  Be sure to notice the gobs of drool pooling off her chin.

June-uary

We have been loving these last few days.  Who wouldn't enjoy 50s and 60s in January? We have been outside a TON.  I love that we live so close to campus because we walked to the Union two days in a row to see some of our friends (love me some cheer girls!) as well as have lunch with Aunt Rebecca.  The only downside is running across a busy street with a stroller and no crosswalk.  Don't worry, we are very safe. :)

I love Hannah's face in this picture.  I have no idea what she is so confused about, but this furrowed brow and one eyebrow raise makes her look sooo much like her Daddy.

Tomorrow we go to get Hannah's passport for our adventures to India this summer.  Bob and I both have to be there so we can consent to her getting a passport.  Crazy.  We even had to go get an official picture of Hannah taken and everything.  Luckily, she has no hair so no need for the nice Walgreen's man to ask her to put it behind her ears.  Haha.

Enjoy these last few days of beautiful weather!  Weather channel says snow in these parts on Saturday!
