It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!!

Thanks to everyone at Thanksgiving for helping to put up the tree and lightsWe had our Ward Christmas breakfast this morning. Hannah sat on Santa's lap. She didn't cry but didn't know what to think of him.

It is so adorable and perfect for Christmas

Hannah being Hannah
She loves to sit up now and smiles all day long. Being a parent is one of the most rewarding things ever. I love how excited she gets when you walk into the room and she see's you.

The weight update:

Today we had Hannah's weight check. Though she only gained 1.5 oz since her last visit (Weighing in at 10lb 9.5 oz) her Pediatrician said she looks healthy and is on track with everything else and won't need to do another weight check till her regular 9 month check. He just wants us to increase her food intake to 3 times a day plus bottles as normal. We are not concerned considering both her parents are small. I (Aleasha) was actually hospitalized when I was about 1 year for the same reason. They just determined that I was burning more that I was taking in (I sure wish I still had that trouble....ha,ha)

Learning through play

We spend time each day exploring and doing hands-on experiences

Hannah loves exploring with her little piano


Exploring with water

Visiting her class
We went into her old classroom to visit her teachers and friends. She was very excited to see everyone. Her teacher said she had to come visit to teach the other children "Baby 101" because she was always so happy and good for them.

BYU vs Idaho

We wondered how Hannah would do at the game..she was great. She enjoyed watching the people around us and watching the game.

When she got tired we just bundled her up extra and she slept next to us under the bench (One benefit from having seats so high up and lost of extra seats around us)

Halloween 2011

Our dental office gave all their patients tickets to the Thanksgiving Point's Cornbelly's event. It was really cold but Hannah loved seeing the pumpkins and watching the pig races.

Aleasha's former work did a "Parent's night out" where the children came for Halloween activities and the parents went out for a date night. Since we hadn't found an outfit for Hannah yet; we dressed her as a "monkey"; using her towel. She had fun and we were excited to go out on a date.

I didn't really want to spend very much on a costume since I figured she would be sleeping for most of the time we would do anything plus I couldn't find anything that was small enough for her. I considered buying a dog costume :) I finally found this costume on Halloween for 50% off. That is my kind of deal! She did as I predicted went to sleep early and woke up in time to see a few trick or treater's at our door. Now she can use it as PJ's.
