Hannah Newsflash!

Hannah laughs out loud for the first time!

June 25, 2008
While playing with her dad on Wednesday night, Hannah was heard laughing out loud for the first time. The sound was so wonderful that it made her mommy and daddy laugh right along with her. Hannah's laughter for the first time was extra special, since she has been fighting off an illness for almost a week, with repeated trips to the doctor. Hannah's laughter is a sound her mommy and daddy can't wait to hear again!

Pictures!








Long time, no big news!

Well, as you probably saw in my post two days ago, Hannah has FINALLY cut her first tooth. My little baby is getting so big! She has turned 5 months old today! At her check up last Friday, she measured in at 27 inches and 16 pounds! She's almost outgrown her car seat. If she keeps growing at this pace, she'll outgrow it by August. I'm hoping to get some pictures of her posted later today, but we'll see what happens =)

I spent the morning weeding our garden, which is coming along nicely. My cherry tomatoes already have some growing on it, which is really exciting, and the lettuce is almost big enough to start cutting and eating! Something has been eating the leaves of my pepper plants, though, and I'm not really sure what it is. It kind of looks like ants. They're not getting very big, but they do have some buds on them, which is promising. Even if the peppers aren't huge, that is fine. I'd just be excited to get some out of my own garden! The zucchini and summer squash are doing FANTASTIC, and growing like crazy. That's one of the things I'm the MOST excited about! We eat TONS of zucchini and summer squash every summer, so I can't wait to not have to get any from the grocery store! Granted, I usually get it at Fiddleheads down in Dover, it would still be nice to have our own.

So that's about all the excitement our little home can handle at this point =). John's school finished up on Friday, so he's now on vacation. We have a long to-do list this summer though, so we'll see just how much "vacation" he really gets. Tomorrow we are going to a family reunion-thing, so hopefully that will be fun. We're staying overnight at my parents too, which is another good thing about John being on vacation. It makes doing stuff on the weekends SOOO much easier.

Anyway, got to run. Time to go pick up cat litter. Woo hoo. =)

Big news!

Hannah's First Tooth

June 18, 2008
After months of drool-soaked shirts, Hannah's first tooth was spotted on June 18, 2008 poking through the gum. Mom and dad are excited about the new pearly white, but know this is just the start of many months of fussy teething. One down, 19 to go!
