1st Christmas

Christmas a busy day. We had to hit up both families, come home and open gifts and then cook Christmas dinner...WHEW. We made it through and we were all spoiled!

Hannah was more interested in eating the paper

My brother Coleman got these for Hannah. Duck Tales was my favorite cartoon growing up. I can't wait to show these to Hannah.

Hannah got her first pair of Toms. Grandma Reeder got us matching black sparkly Toms!

Hannah got this "Sophie" doll for Christmas. She LOVED it!

I love this picture of Stu making Hannah laugh

Family Pictures

With my sister being on leave we wanted to get some family pictures taken. We picked a nice, cold winter day and snapped away. Little Miss Hannah did such a great job. We had her wrapped up during the "in between" parts so she could stay warm. Thank you to Kyrie for taking our pictures!


The whole family

*She has learned how to reach for her toys
*Can hold her own bottle
*Laughs out loud when something is funny
*Blows bubbles and raspberries
*Found her voice and uses it (she has a lovely singing voice)
*Hates to wear socks
*Drools a lot
*Sat all by herself

" This dress is soo yummy"
"really...do I have to do tummy time again...?"

"I love the camera"

"Yeah..Yeah"

This is a new face she has been pulling lately. Not sure if it is an excited face or what..

"Yummy"

Zoo Lights

We had the opportunity to go to Hogle Zoo to see the Zoo Lights. It was soo much fun. It was our first time and we went with the whole Reeder clan. If you get a chance, take the kids. It was a blast. Hannah got to see Santa and sit on his lap and ride a carousal for the first time. She was a champ in the cold too.

Going back to work

I had to go back to work today. It was hard to leave my little girl and the routine we created. Its only temporary (till the end of the year) but it seems so far away. I am soo grateful for my mom and Stu for helping to watch her through out the coming weeks. I can't wait till I can be with her again. For all of you mom's that came before me and had to go back to work and didn't want to, my heart goes out to you!

It sucks!!

First Race post baby

To get back into shape Stu and I signed up for the Runner's Series in St. George Utah. We have to run 2 races and then we are able to get into the St. George Marathon in October. Our first race was this weekend. We were both not in shape for the 1/2 marathon so we did the 5K instead. Stu rocked in, coming in at 25 min...I however was glad to just finish. I came in at 32 min. I was pretty proud of myself since the last time I ran was...over a year ago.

What a Cutie

Hannah is getting great about standing and sitting (with help of course). Its such a joy to see how she is growing up!

What a ham!

Missing hair & Uniqueness

Hannah has a 1 characteristics that make her unique. The other I am told is done by all babies.

Hannah and her missing hair. I hope it grows back!
Since birth Hannah likes to hold her thumbs between her first two fingers. She does this with both of her hands. Its quite cute actually!

Tummy Time

Hannah does NOT like Tummy Time. But its part of growing up so she does it every day. She is getting quite good with lifting her head while on tummy time.

How she prefers to spend tummy time, she has the saddest stories she tells into the blanket while she does tummy time

Halloween

Even through Hannah is too young to go Trick or Treating, she can still dress up for the holiday. Halloween is officially the first holiday Hannah will celebrate (we are not including Labor Day...BORING). She had 2 costumes to wear this year. One for the day and one for the night. Hannah by day was a witch

Hannah by night was a lady bug-here she is with mama


Cutest lady bug EVER



She was all smiles for this picture--after this picture it all went down hill in the way of picture taking...

Going to Church

We finally made it to church, well not all of church but for sacrament at least. It was fun to dress Hannah up to go to church.

Hannah and Mamma, we were matchy..black and white. I actually didn't plan it that way.

1st time flying

Before RSV season hits, we wanted to introduce Hannah to her East Coast G & G. So we boarded a plan and went to Virgina for a few days. Hannah was a great traveler. We were really blessed that she was because going out there turned out to be a VERY LONG day.

Shots!!

Hannah got her 2 month shots. People say it is harder on mom then baby and I agree 100%. It was soo hard to watch them give her shots. They did it in about 10 seconds, but the sounds that comes out of her mouth after...HEART BREAKING!! I started to tear up. I told Stu he HAD to come with me next time. I am NOT doing this on my own.

My little pin cushion :(
So many bandages!
