Happy in the bumbo

Hannah has certainly outgrown her need of the bumbo seat but she has discoved the joy of playing with it!  She climbs on it and sits on the side of it.  She stands on it and plays for long periods of time with it.  She even needs a rescue occasionally- her large legs get stuck in it :)  Regardless, Hannah really loves this new toy of hers.

Mississippi visit, part 2

After we spent time with the cousins, we traveled down south to visit Mimi Jo and Papa.  Hannah learned to crawl up and down the stairs in 2 days!  She explored the backyard.  She got super messy at lunch one day- thanks to the mashed potatoes that Mimi gave her.  Hannah got some pink tennis shoes- for her future walking needs (so far it she is still just crawling and cruising).  We had a fabulous time with Mimi and Papa and I even got to catch up with some old friends.

Happy Easter 2011

Happy Easter from all of us!

Mississippi visit, part 1

Hannah and I spent a little time in Mississippi last week.  Hannah had so much fun with her cousins.  Even the long hours without power (due to a tornado just down the street!) did not damper their spirits- they went on playing.  We also got to visit a few friends in Clinton before heading down to see Mimi Jo and Papa.

Hannah and Piper Jane

Whatcha doin Piper Jane?

Hannah had lots of fun with her cousin Piper Jane.  However, since Piper Jane is usually rolling around on the floor, learning to crawl, and in general a tiny munchkin, we had to make sure Hannah didn't stomp on PJ.  One of the safest places (for both Piper and Hannah) is in a rolling activity chair.  They had lots of fun talking to each other :)  And I love that they were both wearing orange that day!

A day at the park

We went to a neighborhood park the other day.  It is the same park Aaron played at when he was growing up :) Hannah loved the swing and the slide and looking at all the kids.

Happy Adoption Day

We celebrated Hannah's one year mark of being a legal Gentry yesterday.  Hooray!  Here is a song/book that we recieved from some friends that is special to us:

So it's here's to you and three cheers to you!
Let's shout it, "Hip, hip, hip, hooray!"
For out of a world so tattered and torn,
You came to our house on that wonderful morn
And all of a sudden this family was born.
Oh, happy Adoption Day!
