a few smiles...

I attempted to get some pictures of Hannah today and she was better. I swear she hates things in her hair- as soon as I got the flower close she would start having a fit. I have a feeling my little girl is going to be a tomboy :)
how can you not just want to eat her up! I swear if she let me- Id snuggle her all day!






and there goes the flower and she's escaping! Shes done!

what baby doesnt like cake?

MINE! I couldnt believe it but Hannah was NOT interested in the cake for her One year pictures! Or maybe it was because she was not in the best mood. Well not really in a good mood at all. I was SOOO Bummed! I know they are just pictures but our normally happy-go-lucky baby was not interested in sitting still, people changing her and putting things on her head or having her picture taken :( I know they will still be amazing- Amanda got SO many awesome ones but Hannah wasnt even interested in cracking a smile. So after a couple outfits we decided cake would make her smile- she wanted NOTHING to do with it. Hated the frosting, didnt want it in her mouth, didnt want it on her hands, nothing! So we had to place fake frosting on her hands and face and we have several pictures that involve cake and tears. Poor girl! I cant wait to see them- I know they will be awesome. Amanda has the most awesome back drops that make you feel like you are in a designer studio. If only I could have damask wallpaper and wood floors in my own house :) Despite Hannah's mood we had so much fun chatting about our babies, photography, headbands and everything in between! When we get together for pictures we could hang out for hours! And we pretty much did!!

So....the guests will be served cake at Hannah's party but she will probably be served cheerios and eggs!

Less than a week until she is one and I cant even believe it. She is getting so good at walking and is all over the place! We've had such an amazing year and I know it just keeps getting better!

(I dont even have a picture to post- I am not kidding- this girl wanted nothing to do with a camera!)

teeth

Its amazing what new teeth can do to a sweet baby's personality (and sleep!). Hannah was really off this week and we discovered why....
she is getting all four top teeth at the same time! yep- that will do it! She was pretty fussy on Wednesday night so I put her in the bath (which makes her happy no matter what!) and she looked up at me and I could see the outline of all four of them! The funniest thing- the first one coming in- her eye tooth! We joke we have a little vampire baby :)

I finally got a good picture- she is pretty tight lipped when I try to pull her lip up. I dont blame her!

Fingers crossed they all come in at the same time :)

my little walker

Jeremy went and picked Hannah up early today (so sweet!) and they played, hannah walked, they ate, napped, and hannah walked some more. She is really getting the hang of it!

I LOVE how wobbly she still is- reminds me she is still my baby!

(sorry this video is such bad quality!)

baby hair

this almost one year old had her first haircut today! I dont think anyone was as excited as me :) I wanted to wait longer but her bangs were out of control! She did awesome! No crying (by either of us!)

waiting for my haircut!

looking like a big girl!

not so sure what is going on!

happy that my bangs look better!

this stuff wears me out!

New Year

Im hoping 2011 has alot in store because its going to be pretty tough to beat 2010! We dont have anything big planned this year (besides someones FIRST Birthday Party! GASP! and a trip to California for a wedding!) but Im hoping we all stay healthy and happy! We had a very quiet NYE which was perfect for us! We went to Owensboro on Thursday to celebrate Christmas with Jeremy's family and we headed back Friday. By the time we got back into Louisville we had just enough time for a quick dinner, put H to bed, watched a movie and headed to bed before the ball dropped! There was no one else Id rather welcome 2011 with!
I have some goals set for 2011- I never really like to put too much emphasis on them because by summer I have forgotten about them anyways. So we will see how long these last!

This past year brought so much joy to our lives- I cant imagine it getting much better!
