Hannah has a new cousin!! Lillian Noelle was born September 2...the third granddaughter on the Clark side, born to Ryan and Kristin. I am sure Hannah and her will have so much fun growing up together! As you can see in the picture above, Hannah looks like a giant up to Lilly! In the picture on top and also below, Hannah is enjoying two of her favorite things...chewing on things and jumping in her new bouncy play gym!
What a cutie, huh! We had a little scare last week. When we were at Hannah's checkup, the doctor heard a heart murmur. As a result, we had to get her a chest x-ray and EKG! Thankfully, the tests came back NORMAL, so her heart is strong and healthy. We were very relieved. Now we just pray it goes away as she grows up! We also took her to the church nursery for the first time last Sunday as she was becoming quite a distraction for us, especially with her squealing! She did great, but of course now she has a cold! AHH! I guess she was bound to get exposed to those germs at some time! Otherwise, we are doing great! How can you not smile when you see her little face :)
We have had a great couple of weeks with Hannah. She is now 4 months old and really growing up. Nate and I keep saying to each other that she just seems so big to us and so much older all of a sudden. She is now squealing, giggling, pushing up on her legs when you are holding her, rolling over, grabbing onto things, shaking rattles like crazy, and hugging her doll close to her face when she takes her naps. I could go on and on...I just love this girl! One of my best friends from college got married recently, so we had to have a fashion show to decide on the dress she was going to wear! I am still waiting on the pictures from the wedding from my mom's camera, so for now you get pictures of all the choices. Stay tuned for the actual wedding pics! One of the most important things we have done recently is have Hannah dedicated at our church. We had her dedicated on Aug. 16, which is exactly a year from the day we took that first pregnancy test and found out she would be making us a family of 3! Our family came to support us which we really appreciated. Hannah did great the whole day, but was wiped out by the end. Pictures are below! Also, Nate and I recently invested in a camcorder because Hannah was just doing too many cute things that we didn't want to forget about!!! One is of her rolling over, which she is doing a lot of these days! The video below is of her doing her new trick!Dress #1

Hannah with Great Grandpa Ringger at his 80th Birthday party!!! He is such a remarkable man! Love you Grandpa!
Nate holding Hannah in her "throne" position, as we like to call it. For some reason she loves to be held and moved around like this when she is fussy. It is really one of the only ways to hold her to calm her down at times. Strange but cute.
Smiling on her playmat!
Mommy and baby time! We just have so much fun :)
One of Hannah's favorite things to do...blow bubbles!
Nate and I took Hannah to get her first "professional" pictures last week on her 3 month birthday, but we don't get them back until she is almost 4 months...craziness. So, we thought we would do our own little photo shoot with our camera. Thankfully Maya cooperated as well! A couple new things with Hannah....she rolled over this week, which was very exciting. I was such a proud mom! She is also blowing bubbles all the time, which is hilarious. She is our biggest joy!
Usually Hannah will not listen to a book for more than 30 seconds, but for some reason she was really into Brown Bear Brown Bear on this day! She looked at the whole book! It was so sweet.
Tummy time...she doesn't love it, but definitely getting better at it! Notice the drool dripping from her chin. We get a lot of that these days!
1st time in the Bumbo seat...so cute! I think she enjoyed looking all around in it. Thanks to Casie and Adam for letting us borrow it.
Me trying to help her enjoy tummy time a little more! She is too cute in her pjs!
We have been enjoying our summer and our growing little girl! Hannah has had some new "firsts" lately that have been very fun. She has had her first swim, her first hike strapped to Mommy, and just started noticing herself in the mirror...too cute.

Every day with Hannah makes me love being a mom more and more. She is the best gift ever and her little smile makes me smile! Below are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.
