Safety Straps

So I'm thinking that we should be more vigilant about strapping Hannah into her swing....I placed her in her swing so I could grab something to eat. I was watching her the whole time in awe as she flipped over into this position from her back.

Hannah's Laugh

Friday night we had some friends over for dinner. While we were eating dessert Hannah busted out laughing! I ran and got the camera and she laughed again! Here is some fun footage of her first laugh caught on film.

3 Months Old

It is amazing how much a baby changes in just a month. The main thing Hannah discovered this month was how to use her hands. She will just lie down and stare at her hands. She pretty much grabs everything and pulls it up to her mouth: bibs, blankets, rattles, toys , daddy's fingers....she does not discriminate. We heard her laugh again for the first time in a month! It was the most beautiful sound in the world. We actually caught her laugh on camera (See the above post for the video). She is such a jabber mouth too! We enjoy having "conversations" with her. She loves to sit upright and to have help standing up. She can hold up the majority of her weight, but needs a lot of assistance when it comes to the whole balancing thing.

Hannah's Favorite Things

1. The TV: She can sit and watch that screen for hours if we were to let her.
2. Baths: She still loves bath time and just lays in the tub sighing.
3. Singing: She loves being sung to and even tries to sing along.
4. Play Gym: She has a really fun time in it and has played in it for almost an hour twice.

Loving the Play Gym

Hannah has loved playing in her cute new play gym. She's not quite 3 months but she is already using her hands to grab the toys and hang onto them or bring them to her face so she can suck on the toy. It is fun to watch her in it. Today she played in her gym for 45 mins while I sat next to her and caught up on some good reading. Every so often she would look up at me and talk or give me the cutest grin. Here are some fun pictures I took of her playing.

New Toys

Today Hannah and I had fun going on a mommy-daughter shopping trip. I got her a bunch of new toys, but these two are here favorites.

The Bumbo Baby Seat
I put Hannah in the chair and she seemed to love it! The first picture I took was this one with a HUGE smile. She sat in it for about 15 minutes just happy as a peach.

Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Play Gym


I've been looking at play mats for a few months but haven't been able to decide. Finally I went with this one because of its great reviews and the cheapest one I could find. Hannah loved laying under it and actually grabbed onto the toys hanging right above her. Needless to say it looks like we made some awesome purchases today that should help free my hands a little more.

There's a small catch though...Post this same thing on your own blog and then come back and leave a comment telling me you're in. Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift!"

2 Month Check

Today was Hannah's 2 month check up. The doctor said that she looks wonderful and that we are doing a great job. I couldn't watch Hannah get the dreaded shots, so daddy stood up there with her and held her hands. She screamed for about 30 seconds but calmed right down and handled it better than daddy would have :) The only highlight was finding out her latest stats.

Height: 22 3/8" 50th %

Weight: 12 lbs 2 oz 75-90th % (cute and chunky)

Head: 41 cm 90-95th % (she's a smarty pants)
