6 months old!

Hannah just turned 6 months old yesterday. Where has the time gone? I can't believe my little girl is getting so big and changing so much. She already has 2 bottom teeth coming through. Hannah is learning new things all the time and I love being able to stay home and watch each new milestone that she reaches. In the last month she has learned to sit up by herself, grab and play with her feet, grab all kinds of toys which go directly to her mouth and her favorite thing is to watch her brother. They actually play together in a way and it's kinda funny. Evan loves her and always ask to hold her. He also likes to tickle her and copy the sounds she makes.Hannah is pretty ticklish these days if u get her in the right spot. She will even laugh out loud sometimes. It is so cute. There is something about a little baby's laugh that is so precious.

I wanted to wait till Hannah was 6 months old to try and feed her food. So today was the day. I decided I might as well try even though only breastfeeding for a year would be great, but I knew she was ready to eat something, or so I thought. I tried to give her cereal with breast milk and of course it was very weird to her. I tried a couple of times but she was just not having it. The funny thing is that she opened her mouth every time and tried and grabbed for the spoon but she would just spit the cereal right back out. That's alright I kinda expected it to go that way, so we will keep trying.

I just want to say that I LOVE my little girl and I couldn't imagine life without her. She is such a JOY.

Here are a few pictures of the last month.

MORE Disneyland

Since we have had season passes to the Happiest Place on Earth we try to take advantage of them. We have gone 6 times in the past 2 months. Not bad, they have already paid themselves off. These are pictures from 2 different trips recently. One with my mom and one time when we met our friends Kendra and Julie June. Disneyland is always a blast.


This trip we decided to meet our friends at California Adventure because Disneyland was sooo crowded. We started our adventure with the High School Musical parade. Evan actually loved it.

Our darling friend Julie June

Waiting for Monsters Inc. I am not sure why Ev has a weird face because he loves the movie.

Julie is very cautious about the monsters and Evan is mesmerized.

Ev actually wants to hold JJ's hand and she dosen't. WoW what a change!

Loving the fruit-by-the-foot. Poor girl was starving.



Nikka trying to make Hannah laugh.

So Serious! Nikka said Hannah is thinking "Go away, I don't like you anymore".
Oh my kids are so temperamental.

There is a BIG smile!

Evan loves climbing & I do too because it wears him out.


There was a cave that Ev stood at for about a half hour before he would enter it. He just keep creeping around the corner to see what was inside.



Ending the night at the Pixar Parade. Scott bought Ev a glow necklace like the girls.

Evan loved it and spent the whole time dancing in the street until the parade started

Hannah and Kendra

Evan finally realized that the necklace came apart and spent the rest of the night using it as a horn.


Another Trip

The Haunted Mansion changed like the Nightmare Before Christmas

I love being able to take Hannah on all the rides.

The worker guy thought he was funny and jumped into the picture.

Riding Winnie the Pooh.

Scary close-up, but thats all I can do to be in a picture with my kids.

Pumpkin Patch

We got home from Arizona the day before Halloween so that we could spend Halloween with Scott. It was one of his few days off. He wanted to carve a pumpkin with Evan, so we planned to go to the pumpkin patch. The first one we went to by J Serra was closed so then we headed off to Zoomaras pumpkin patch. It was definitely a sad site with no one around and only a few pumpkins left. I guess that's what you get when you go on Halloween day. Good thing there was a large sand box with lots of toys that Evan could play with or this trip would have been a total bust. We couldn't leave without buying one of the small sad looking pumpkins, however we did get it at half off. We had all intentions of carving it, but then we went trick or treating and the kids & Scott were way to tired so the pumpkin got set aside. The poor thing is still sitting outside my parents front door rotting away. I guess maybe we will try next year.

Schnepf Farm

When we were in Arizona there is this family farm that you can go to in October for rides, pumpkins and food. We took the kids and met up with Amber and Carter to check it out. We had fun riding the carousel, bumble bees and airplanes. The kids played on the playground and rode trikes. We bought tickets to go on train around the farm but the line was so long and it was cold so we passed. We ended the night eating chili dogs and grilled corn on the cob. Of course Evan only had chips and a brownie for diner. YUM :) These are a few pictures from the night.

Oh So Cute!

Most of you know that my little girl has to wear a bow or flower everyday no matter what. I know I might be cruel but its like the saying "It hurts to be beautiful" plus people need to know that she is a girl. Because of this Hannah has quite the collection of hair accessories. She has a wide variety from many different people. Some of our favorites are from sweet Aunt Lily. She just sent us some new headbands this week and we were so excited to see them. Lily is very creative and makes Hannah some of the cutest felt flower headbands. We love them and we love you Aunt Lily. Thanks a bunch :)
