We went for a short hike on one of the beautiful days in Nashville. Hannah likes the Ergo carrier. She is content to look around and when she gets bored, she snuggles into my chest and falls asleep. She usually falls asleep after only 20 minutes. This is the only carrier that does not hurt my back. I use it a lot to go grocery shopping and walks that the stroller cannot handle. Her eyes are still so blue. I really cannot wait to see if they stay this color. I wanted them to be brown for so long, but I have fallen in love with my blue eyed baby that I will be sad if they change. Daddy still says they will change and is hoping they turn brown. Only time will tell. For now, I am captivated by this blue eyed wonder. 

After I came home one night from a long day at work, I must have watched her sleep for 10 minutes fighting the urge to wake her up and give her a million kisses. 

One morning I decided to add a little banana to her oatmeal. This is the face I got when I brought her the bowl.   Bananas are her favorite and its a good thing since her nickname will probably end up being Hannah banana. 

Cool shades in the backyard playing with Lucy.

She does not need a book to stand on anymore!  She can now bounce and turn around to play with all the toys. 

All ready to go to the Franklin main street festival. 

Cool coffee shop we found in Franklin. In the back they have a record player with tons of records to chose from.  Brian picked out some music and we enjoyed relaxing while Hannah slept in the stroller.

Daddy feeding Hannah and Lucy really wanting to try Hannah's sweet potatoes.

The left is the face of a child before we feed her and on the right is the face of a child with a full belly.

This kid! The bib says it all! One of a kind :)

2nd batch of Hannah's yummy food. I thought I would have given up by now and stopped making her food, but I actually enjoy doing it and its so fun to see the end result.  This batch will last a couple weeks. 

Hannah and I doing our exercises. She thinks its fun, I think its fun watching her laugh at me.  

Big girl getting closer to sitting up on her own. She can do it for a few seconds before falling over. I do not think it will be long now. 

Beautiful snow ball trees at Cheekwood. One of the only pictures we took that day. We walked around and enjoyed the amazing gardens. We will be going back for sure one day!

Hannah crashed at lifegroup. Our life group added 4 babies last year so these days it can get pretty loud. It makes it all so much more fun.

Her 6 month check up went great. She weighed 12 lbs 15 oz and was almost 25 inches.  She is mostly still wearing 3 month old clothing but starting to try a few 6 month sizes that are still a little big.   She still wears size 1 diapers.  She is the easiest baby ever. I know I say this probably because she is mine, but really this kid is amazing! She sleeps 12-13 hours at night and take 2 naps during the day, both at least 2 hours long. She goes down to sleep without needing to be rocked and does not cry.  She has the sweet demeanor and is always happy and content unless its time to eat or time to sleep. She is so easy going and laid back. We can spend the whole day running errands in the car, in and out of stores and messing her whole day up and she just rolls with it. She catches a few minutes of sleep in the car and she is back to her happy little self. She is quick to give smiles with any attention we give her and loves when Daddy blows bubbles.  She giggles when you tickle her tummy or kiss her neck.  I look at her and I seriously think that God gave me the best.  He could not have given a better gift.  

One of the many attempts at a 6 month photo

I cant help but love this little face even when she has had enough of picture time

Finally! A smile and her looking at the camera :)

Family photo time at Centennial park. This is the result of me setting the timer on the camera, running, and throwing sofie the giraffe in the air in the hope that she will look in the direction of the camera, but no such luck. We take what we get these days. 

Seriously mom! Another photo?

On one of our morning jogs. Must have lots of toys to keep her occupied. 

Hannah trying squash for the first time

This video was a few weeks ago.  She has since developed a taste for squash. Thank goodness, because it is so easy to make :)

Our big girl!

This is the normal transition Hannah goes through with trying new foods.  At first she does not like it and wants to spit it out, even gagging a little.  By the end of the first cup, she is usually all smiles though.  So far her favorites are sweet potatoes, sweet peas, apples, and pears.  Im seeing a pattern here....little sweet tooth!  I wonder who she got that from?

We tried Hannah in the excersaucer a few weeks ago, and she loved it.  She is not sure what everything does just yet, but she explores a new piece each time and is learning to turn herself in it.  It's really nice to have her play in it while I am cooking dinner or cleaning.  She can still see me and we can interact.  It is so fun to watch her play and learn!

Her little feet don't quite make it to the bottom yet, so we improvised with an old anatomy book to stand on. 

Happy girl!

Happy Easter!

Hannah's first Easter was a sweet one.  We went to church with Brian's parents and then headed over to their house for lunch and an Easter egg hunt.  Hannah napped during the egg hunt.  Next year she will be ready to find some eggs with her cousins.

Me and my girl with her Easter basket.  I was so excited to buy little things to put in her basket.  In her basket she had sippy cups, bibs, jammies, a bunny and "Guess how much I love you" book.  All things she absolutely had to have for her first Easter of course!

Mamaw and Papaw came for Easter lunch.  It was really nice to see them.  Hannah was happy to see them too, but a little tired from not getting a good nap. 

Me, Brian and Hannah with her Easter basket from Nonna and Papa.  Hannah really liked the wrapping paper since it made a crinkly noise.

Because she was a little fussy Easter day, we didn't get a good picture, so I set up the tripod the next day and my well rested sweetheart was all smiles :)

Blue eyes so far with a little brown still showing up

Some of the many faces of Hannah Banana tasting squash for the first time.  She didn't like it at first, but has since warmed up to it.

Sweet little bunny

A friend of mine gave Hannah this adorable owl hat.  We fell in love with it and I think Hannah likes it too! :)

Photo fun with my sweet girl

I am a sucker for baby leggins! They are so stinkin cute!

We started solids this week!!! Hannah loved every bite of her cereal. We started with cereal and then moved onto Oatmeal. I was amazed at how well she did.  She opened her mouth for the spoon and didn't spit anything out.  She even became fussy in between bites, if I did not give them to her fast enough.
