Advice!!

So I need some advice! Hannah now sleeps through the night which is amazing!...but she only sleeps until 5:30 ish sometimes a bit earlier. She goes to bed every night at 7pm and sleeps without waking up until 5:30. If I get up with her I change her diaper and feed her. She is still sleepy and I know she wants to go back to sleep, but if I try to lay her down she will only cry. If I snuggle her she will fall asleep quickly and stay that way for about another hour. On the other hand when she wakes up at 5:30, if I just let her cry herself back to sleep it won't work. She will cry for a whole hour to hour and a half and never go back to sleep. I know this sounds silly, but what would you do? Should I just put her to bed a bit later, so I can sleep in a bit more and she will slowly get used to sleeping longer? any ideas?

Our Trip to Sunriver

We had so much fun this last weekend in Sunriver! We were able to go with the Blevins family and we stayed in a huge house that Chris's parents rented for us! There wasn't much snow, but we found enough to sled in. We played lots of Beattle's Rock Band, toured the town, went swimming and even ice skating (although I don't have pics of that yet). It was a blast and Hannah especially loved playing with her cousins!

Hannah's cousin Natalie is so good with her! Hannah just loves her!

Here is Hannah with Dane, she loved having someone more her size to play with!

So nice story with this one! Hannah was a little crabby so I gave her a piece of licorice! Well of course she loved it and this s what happened when she finished!!

Hannah was able to sled for the first time!! No crying for her. She didn't really like her snow suit though!

All on her own!!

One happy family!

We were also able to go to a swimming pool in town. I forgot my swimming suit and we didn't have one for Hannah either, but I felt bad making her watch all her cousins play so we let her try out the pool! We just kept her in her onesie! She is hooked. She just loved every minute of swimming!

Aunt Brittany giving Hannah some snacks!

So as I was trying to get Hannah to take a nap, I got a little to comfortable!

Baby in the Mirror!

Hannah loves to see herself in the mirror. The baby is her best friend!!

9 months old!!

I swear, time keeps going faster!! Well Hannah is already 9 months old!! She is old!! We go to the doctor Tomorrow so I don't know her stats yet, but I know she is at least 18lbs 9 oz! Big girl! At 9 months Hannah is:

Days away from crawling, but can move forward really well.

Loves to try out new sounds. Her new one is "go"!

She is walking along the furniture and always wants to be standing up.

She loves to swing and be outside.

She loves meeting new people, especially other kids! They are her favorite!

She likes to laugh.

She gets extremely excited whenever Chris comes home from school!

All together she is a happy baby! We are so blessed to have her in our lives! Now if she would only sleep through the night she would be perfect!! (We are working on that and should be to perfection in about a week! Pray for us!) We love you Hannah!

Here is Hannah's snow suit! Our neighbors had this suit and it fits Hannah perfectly! We had to try it on her today since we are going to Bend for a long weekend with the Blevins family and will be playing in the snow!! She thought it was great!

The many faces of Hannah!

Fun times

Here are some of the things we have been up to lately!

I made Chris a big sugar cookie sandwich on Valentines Day!! It was yummy!

Hannah loves her bath time!! I realized the other day that I can make her hair stand up with soap! I was so excited! That means it is getting longer!

Rebel girl!

So Hannah thinks she is so funny when she does this!! She now sticks everything in her mouth and then takes her hands away to show us how cool she is!! We are so proud!

This was about two weeks ago! She just started getting into push up position! She is now basically crawling! Yippee for Hannah! I will have videos soon!

Hannah and I (Kim) went up to play with Heather, Janae and Kiera 2 weeks ago! We had lots of fun and Janae had fun dressing up Hannah!! What cute girls!
