Check out Hannah feeding the goats... The are surprising gentle and patient, although they act as though they've never eaten.
Goats are her current animal obsession and she asks to see them whenever we get into the car.
She thinks it's really funny when they take the food out of her hand.
Oh come on Mommy, be serious!
Can you believe Hannah is sleeping in a twin size bed? We made it through 2 naps and a FULL night sleep (for Hannah anyway). I was nervous for her to sleep through her first night and I kept waking up every couple of hours to see if she was ok and that she hadn't fallen out. Although the bed is only about 15in. off the floor, I was still worried.
She was really excited about her new bed. We took her to IKEA and she loved laying on all the beds. When I set up the bed yesterday morning, she kept climbing on and off and said "Thank you Mommy" about 5 times! I was so happy!
What beautiful weather we were having last week! Too bad I had to make 2 trips to the doctor for Hannah. She has a case of coxsackie virus and has been a little cranky, but really just a trooper. Most know it as Hand-Foot & Mouth, meaning she has little bumps on her hands, feet and in her mouth. Apparently it's a common virus that many children get around this age. Anyway, her spirits are good. Here are some pics from the medical campus.
What a blast we had at Seaside this past weekend -- it was so relaxing! The weather was good and the house we rented was wonderful. Hannah really enjoyed crunching on the crab shells, but wasn't so sure about getting her feet wet. She loved being able to run, run, run and play "chase". She sure is growing! We look forward to taking another visit again, but were all glad to be home in our beds...
When we first moved into our house, we were surprised to find that we would have a nightly seranade of frogs singing us to sleep. The frogs continued through spring and summer, only breaking for the scattered rain showers. Somehow comforting, the frogs have returned already this spring and it's a welcome sound. Thinking that the frogs lived in the wetlands, I had this idea of them being brown, lumpy and dirty. You can imagine my surprise when Ryan caught one in our yard (after seeing several hopping around!). These frogs are beautiful and bring to mind something you would more likely find in the Amazon. Hannah loved seeing the frog and she is able to understand when she was looking at. Making ribbit noises to him and watching him spring all around the fish bowl. Froggy was returned to his home but not before snapping a few pics!
