just a few of my favorites

check up!

Hannah had her one month doctors appointment on Monday and...are you ready...she weighs 10 pounds 15 oz! That is exactly what I guessed! I couldnt believe she was so big....actually I could- this girl doesnt sleep through a meal! She was 21.5 inches long and her head grew 1/2 an inch. The doctor said she looks great! She is so much more alert now (when she is awake) and loves staring at things...basically anything on the wall or a ceiling fan. I love locking eyes with her-she is really starting to recognize things and people. We are still working on a routine (ok- what routine?) and I am just SO glad I still have about 7 more weeks to try to create one. My mom and I are still throwing around the idea of a California trip...It just makes me a nervous wreck! I know exactly how people feel when they see a newborn get on a plane! Thank goodness my mom would be with me- she has incredible patience! It would be so worth it to get to San Diego so my Grammy and Bumpah can meet their first Great Grandchild! I can only imagine all the stuff we will need...we fill up my car just going over to my parents house for dinner! Its amazing how much stuff those little people need :)
Here she is in her bouncy (wrapped up in a blanket because she is just in a diaper!) We had to take her clothes off to get her to wake up to eat!! Next trick...a bath!

Her faces are so funny! She is probably tired of the flash!

one month & a road trip!

Our little babe is one month!! I cant believe it! I just dont know where the time has gone! She has already changed so much in a month, and I look forward to all the new changes as we approach month 2!
We celebrated Hannah's one month birthday with a road trip to Lexington to visit Alex. It was her first road trip :) She slept through the whole thing! The car puts her right to sleep- which is fine by me! We picked Alex up, went to our favorite Lexington Mexican restaurant and braved the Lexington traffic (worst traffic I have ever seen!) so Alex could get a haircut and some new spring clothes! We had a lot of fun!
Getting ready for our road trip!! Where is my bow mom??
Alex & Hannah in Lexington
One Month Old and Looking SO much older!!!

We even picked up a toy for Ruby while we were out- by the end of the night our whole family room was covered in this! Id love to find a toy she cant destroy!!

snowed in....

as THANKFUL as I am that I dont have to get up and go to work and haul a new baby to daycare in this awful snow...I am tired of the white stuff! I think snow is only appealing when youre in school and you have the possibility of a snow day! Other than that- its a big nasty mess! We got alot more snow today and we were trapped in the house again! I dont need to be out running a million errands- bt I'd just like to take a walk in the neighborhood on a sunny day with Hannah!

Hannah enjoying her snow day!

Hannah and dad snowed in!

This one is from last night- Jeremy put her pj's on and they had hearts on them...so yes- she did wear hearts on Valentines Day :)

7 years

7 years ago today Jeremy and I had our very first date...he picked me up from the dorms at Western, had a dozen white roses and we went to The Brickyard for dinner....so romantic :) Followed by a classic party at the Delt house afterwards...ha ha! 7 years ago we started something that has grown from friendship to love, and from a couple to a family. I couldnt be happier where we are at in our lives right now. We have been SO blessed with such a beautiful, healthy daughter and we have such an amazing relationship and marriage. I couldnt ask for a better husband...there is no one out there that could be more patient with me and put up with me like he does. Not only is he the best husband but he has become the most amazing father. I always knew he would be a great dad, but he has far exceeded my expectations :) He is incredible and probably changes more diapers in the middle of the night than any dad I know! I fell in love with Jeremy all over again in that delivery room and I love him more every day. Happy Valentines Day and Anniversay Jeremy! Here's to MANY more years together!

We had our very first date night since Hannah was born- my mom babysat while we went to dinner on Saturday. I think she would have paid us to watch her :) It was nice getting out and enjoying a nice dinner but we found ourselves lost in "Hannah conversation" most of the night! We left my mom with one job- to keep Hannah awake-and she failed. Of course, that is the hardest task!
Before we headed out for dinner!

When we got back...Hannah in a milk coma!

We also got to see Lindsay and Alex for a little Valentines Lunch before they headed back to Lexington...we love when they come to town!

Aunt Lindsay and Hannah
Hannah in her Valentines Ladybug outfit (I realize its doesnt have one heart on it but it is red!) I got the most adorable ladybug clip from a friend and when I saw Ladybug pants at Gap, I couldnt resist!!

I am looking forward to this week- my mom is on winter break and we have all kinds of things planned! Hannah and I will have lots of play dates this week!!
