Updates

Here's Hannah, all cozy warm with one of her new blankies that I had my friend, Rebecca, make for her. She did such a wonderful job.


Hannah has grown so much. She is now in most 3-6 month clothing, with a little room to spare. She mostly needs the bigger sizes for her length. I can't wait to see what next month's appt. will bring for height/weight numbers.


She has been working so hard on getting her thumb in her mouth. Her poor little hands are chapped in the areas where she has been sucking. It's kind of a bittersweet thing because she'll be able to soothe herself but yet we won't be able to take her thumb away from her when it's time to (like a nookie).


She's smiling so much and at everyone, including the screen saver that is a big picture of Heidi's face. She's cooing a lot and loves to "talk". She has a lot to say and loves hearing you talk back to her.


She just loves sleeping in her crib now. She has so much more room to sleep like a "star fish" with all arms and legs spread out. We have noticed her sleeping patterns are getting longer and longer. We did have a 7 hour stretch the other night. That was nice, keep it up girl!!



She met her Great Grandma Trautman, who turns 89 this year and her Great-Great Aunt Helen, who is 94 years young, this past weekend. She was such a good girl. Slept the whole 3 1/2 hour ride home.

Remember to check in and view more pictures on her Flickr page!

Baptism Day

We had Hannah baptized at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church here in Apple Valley on Sunday, March, 13th.
She was such a good girl. So smiley when she was sleeping. She became a little fussy once her part of the service was over, but nothing a bottle couldn't fix!
Of course we took some pictures, so enjoy!!






She wore a beautiful gown that was made by her Great Grandma Florence (Grandma Boehnlein's mom) over 40 years ago. Her daddy and Auntie Rori wore it to their baptisms too.


I had to get a picture of her cake. I ordered this on-line, having no idea what it would look like until I picked it up. All I asked is that they didn't use roses, and to have the flowers arranged into the shape of a cross, and to use the colors that they did. I think it turned our pretty cute.


This is one of the pastors that did the service that morning.


She was such a good girl. She slept through almost the whole service.


Mommy and daddy.


Her Godparents, Mel and Corey Brower. We have been good friends with them for such a long, long time that we couldn't think of two more loving and wonderful people to have be her Godparents.

What?!

Hannah: "What is this creature? And what is it doing on my changing table?"

Libby: "ah, excuse me, I'm trying to sleep here, do you mind?"

Random pictures

Hanging out on the pack and play's changing area. It won't be long and she'll be too big to change on there. It looks like she's got a bright idea...hmmmm....


Snoozing in her bassinet. Sometimes she likes laying in there and other times she prefers her bouncy seat.


Swinging in the swing, relaxing to the sounds of birds chirping.


Big cousin Laynie was so excited to hold Hannah. She did a great job!

Happy 1 month!!!

Update as of 2/25

Hannah went in for her 1 month appointment today. She received a vaccine and had a little bit of blood drawn. She did great. She's growing like a weed.

Her current stats:
Height: 22.8 inches (95%) She's a tall girl!
Weight: 10.2 lbs (77%)
Head: 14.4 inches (34%)

Still sleeping, for the most part.....

There's not much Hannah is doing now a days except sleeping.
She's eating 2-4 ounces of milk every 3 hours or so, is now starting to follow your voice when you talk to her, and can hold her head up pretty well.

She has noticed Heidi when we've been playing in the loft. Of course with how fast Heidi moves around, it was quick glances she had of her.

She got to feel Libby kitty for the first time the other day. Well, actually Libby brushed up against her and head-butted her a few times. Hannah didn't seem to mind. She squinted her eyes in approval of the softness of Libby's tail and head.

I've still been working, when "the girls" allow me to, on their blogs, shutterfly photo albums and baby books. They are coming along, surprisingly enough with what little time I don't have Hannah in my arms. She sure is a snuggler!!

I will be updating with her 1 month photo and doctor's appointment and stats. In the meantime, enjoy some current photos of little Miss Hannah!

Happy Valentines Day!!
