Hannah at 8 months

Hannah is our little experimenter. She loves to try new things like sitting up and getting up on her hands and knees in the crawling position. She is so close to crawling - I am just anxiously waiting for that day to come. She also loves to experiment with her voice. She is babbling and talking so much and learning how to make different sounds.

Hannah is so busy playing these days, she does not want to take time to eat or sleep. She is however, getting better at eating solids, but just like the other two, she doesn't care for peaches or bananas. She does not hold her bottle - has no desire to. She also still struggles with reflux. She doesn't mind water too much and just mainly chews on the rubbery/silicone spout of the sippy cup. She used to be my best napper, but she is not so much anymore. She weighs 14 pounds 8.1 ounces. No teeth yet.

She is still by far my most laid back and easy going baby. If she doesn't get to sleep on time, she doesn't care; if she doesn't eat on time, she doesn't care. Also, Hannah will no longer take her paci, which is fine by me. Its all about the two middle fingers of the left hand.

Poor Hannah keeps getting picked on. Everybody kept pulling her bow off.

Tyler's first tooth!

Guess what Mommy found in the little dude's mouth this afternoon???? That is right...Tyler has his first tooth, it is on the lower right. My little boy is growing up. :( j/k We are very excited about his tooth - it is so cute. Let the fun begin!

I think I mentioned in my 7 month post without pictures that I was extremely exhausted and it was saying a lot to get the ones taken that I did. Notice all the crap on the floor. Gotta love Hannah's cheeks! Notice I forgot how to spell "monhts" "months". So exhausted...

Attitude already??? :) LOL

*THERE IS ANOTHER NEW POST BELOW THIS ONE*

I got a chance to put some of the pics up on my blog that Jill took, so here they are. Also, some of my pics were recovered from my damaged disk, so I will post some of them on here when I get it later today.

Whitney, Tyler, Hannah (L to R)


Whitney was so happy during this photo shoot.

Whitney cuddling with the blanket.

Tyler was not so happy - it was next to impossible to get him to smile. He had this glazed over look all afternoon.

Wow! A smile!!!

Sweet Hannah

Whitney has the longest eyelashes.


Hannah's waving
Silly Hannah

Betty Crocker gets to work

This weekend I started making my own baby food. It was a rather timely project, but well worth it and actually fun! Anybody that knows me knows I don't like cooking much but I actually enjoyed making my own baby food for my kiddos. It is so much healthier and so much cheaper!! I made just about everything you can think of...acorn squash, yellow summer squash, spaghetti squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, pears, bananas, green beans, peas and zucchini. They haven't had all of these food yet, but I figured if they either didn't like them or have an allergy to them, I will just cook them in something I make for me and Craig. I have Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook "Deceptively Delicious". I may just get on a health kick and start steaming more veggies etc. for me and Craig as well. I definitely found myself snacking some while making their food.

Okay...so I planned a play day at my SIL's today and last minute it turned into a photo session/play day. It was fun but a lot of work. I am too tired to put them on my own blog so go over to Jill's blog and check a few of them out. They turned out really cute!
