18 weeks

Hannah all dressed up in her Sunday best for baby dedication at church.  She turned 4 months old this week and had a check up with the pediatrician.  Everything looked great!  She now weighs 10lbs 4 oz and is 22 7/8 inches long.  Her weight is 3% on normal growth charts and 25% on premie charts.  

This week I noticed that Hannah was paying more attention to toys.  This light up snail with the mirror is clearly her favorite.  It is the first time I have seen her reach for something and smile at it!

We have had more success with the bumbo. She especially likes to sit in it and play with her mobile. 

Happy Valentine's Day!  Brian and I did not make any formal plans since Hannah had a doctors appointment that morning.  We spent the day driving around and exploring Montgomery Bell state park.  It really made us ache to go camping, hiking, walking through the park, fishing, kayaking, picnic....anything outdoors! 

This was pretty much the way she was the rest of the day after getting her 4 month old shots.  She slept most of the  day, but was otherwise in a happy mood. 

Baby dedication at OtterCreek is a big deal.  There were so many babies!  This is only half of them.

Mommy and Daddy with Hannah.  The decorations were so sweet.  We had our very own table and enjoyed barbecue from Jim N' Nicks. The whole family was able to make it and it was such a fun day!

Hannah's shoes she wore for dedication.  They were a gift from Mimi.  I cannot tell you how much I love them.  They are the sweetest baby shoes I have ever seen!  They are still a little big so I am hoping she can wear them for Easter :)

Eye color is still a toss up.  Her left eye seems to have a little bit of brown showing up and the right one is still blue.  Only time will tell what they will be!
