13 months and mommy's slacking.

Well, I have totally been slacking in my blogging duties. Christmas has come and gone and a month later the updates begin. (not to mention 13 months as well) The Christmas season was lots of fun for us. Gaga and Papa came up for her birthday and we got a chance to see the ICE display at the Gaylord Texan. We also had many Christmas light looking trips, including one that involved a 2 hour wait (which was worth it for a first visit to this neighborhood.) We also had a cookie swap and decorating party. We spent Christmas morning at our home where Hannah opened many (too many) presents. One of her favorites (from Daddy, of course!) was her Toy Story bounce house. She played in it all morning long. We started a new tradition this year of making cinnamon rolls and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus along with reading an interactive Charlie Brown Christmas book. After cleaning up the disaster area, we climbed in the van and drove to Texarkana to spend the day with John's Dad and family. It was one of the most enjoyable holidays ever. We met a lot of John's extended family for the first time and Hannah had a great time ripping through more paper and eating tasty holiday treats. She especially loved hanging out in the dog bed at John's aunt and uncle's home. We had a great time!
Since the holidays, we have done a lot of resale shopping and visiting with our mommy/baby friends at our coffee mom Wednesdays. John gave me a new sewing machine for my birthday, so I have been motivated to make some fun new items for Hannah. I made a cupcake onsie for her a couple of days ago and I made a couple of items for a friend's baby shower this weekend that I will post pics of them once the shower is over.

Ok...so I started this post at 13 months, and here it is at 14 months and I am finishing it. We have a busy little girl on our hands and these videos just take way too long to download... Hannah now has 12 teeth...all four front teeth up and down and 2 molars up and down. Needless to say she has been very fussy. We had to put her on a formula supplement since she lost weight and left the weight chart. Since then, she has put on a little weight. She is jabbering all the time and says "dada", "cheese", "gog" for dog, "cat", not much of mama though. She also started saying "Woooow." and "woooooh". She is walking everywhere and is climbing now. She whines a lot when she is struggling with something, so that being said, I will be excited when she learns to communicate a little better. We are slowly getting prepared for our trip to Hawaii in April. She will get to meet her Uncle, Auntie, and cousins for the first time. We are super excited! Other than that, she is growing up and I have found that I cannot stop it. :( Here are some pics and a couple of videos of some fun moments.
