{Hannah}: fifteen months old!

Our crazy girl is fifteen months old - and a little less crazy. She's a fast walker, and breaks into a bit of a jog when she's really excited. She's an excellent climber - of stairs and ladders - and has gotten down stairs and ladders on her own a few times - including going down the stairs on her own when I didn't know the baby gate was open. Thankfully we let her practice that before and she was prepared to do it on her own!

Excuse the 50+ pictures below. A lot happens in three months! (And these kids are so darn cute.)

And these gems are from today:

We're so ready for the last of Hannah's Hand Foot and Mouth Disease bumps to go away. Thankfully they were only on her feet and tush - no painful sores in her mouth! It was very mild with no fever... but I'm ready to be done! (And - knock on wood - so far Ethan hasn't caught it yet!)

xo,

Elizabeth


PS - we're still working on our mantel, but you bet your bottom dollar it'll be up here as soon as it's done - hopefully this weekend!

{Hannah}: eleven months old!

This time a year ago, several dear friends were giving us supplies for our baby girl! It's hard to believe she's almost been here for a year!

She's too unsure to walk, but she's stood on her own for a few seconds but usually leans down to the ground or squats down. She's happy, but a tad dramatic. Before she figured out to tilt up her bottle, we handed it to her while she was in her high chair. She sucked on it, got only air, pulled it away, screamed, and threw it to the floor. Hannah is serious about food/milk, but if she's well-rested and well fed, she is a happy kid!

She also went to Colorado for the second time, and she loved being in the mountains and being outside!

Happy 11 months, Hannah!
