I LOVE coming home to this face!!!

I live for this girl!!  She is such a sweetypie!!!

 

Her smile melts our hearts!!

Hana, enjoying her other "play gym" from grandma & grandpa!

She loves all the bright colors!

Tummy ache.

Last night little Hana was not feeling well (a bit of "extra awful" gas, we think!) and cried quite a bit!  :-(

But in the moments that she stopped, she looked too cute to not photgraph! 

She seems to be feeling much better today!!  :-)

Snuggling with daddy always makes a gal feel better!

I love this face!

Around The World!

So, after having her check it out at about 4 weeks (she was not super excited about it then!) I decided to let Hana "play" on her "Around the World" play gym again today.  She absolutely LOVED it and kept smiling the whole time!  She enjoyed the colors and music (when I finally remembered to turn it on!) and kept batting at the hanging toys!  Pretty good for only 6 and a half weeks.... I think!  :-) 

She continues to be a delight and is growing like crazy!  She is totally out of all of her NB clothes (and diapers) now and is on to the 0-3 and 3 month "uniforms" - as Knute likes to call them!  We think she is having yet another growth sput, as she is hungry ALL the time!  Her thighs are chunky and adorable! 

Big girl!  1st night out of the bassinet!

And last night in the "Ducky Uniform" as Knute calls it!

Laughing with joy, Hana is all smiles today!

She just LOVES her play gym!

President's Day!

I had the day off from work today and got to spend it with my two favorite people!!!  We didn't get that much done, but did manage to run a few errands and take our first walk with the dogs.  They only "tried" to knock the stroller over once!  (Nice save Daddy!)  :-)

Ready for our walk!

Knute's fun this week!

 

Good job on the ice, Sadie!

 

Eric, with the birds!

Relaxing after hunting!

These pictures are actually from January 23rd, but Knute did make it out to the ranch one day last week too!  Sadie did a great job fetching birds for them on the 23rd though!  :-)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, we had a busy week!  Thankfully Katie was here to help out as I went back to work.  Knute tried to finish up some things at the old house and get used to watching Hana during the days!  Hana GREW this week too!  At least half an inch, but maybe more!  She no longer fits into her newborn clothes and we'll be switching diaper size from NB to "1" when they run out later today!  Our girl is getting so big - changing so fast too!  She is still sweet as pie though!  :-)

Here are some pictures of our gal this week!

Katie reading to Hana last week!  Hana loved the pictures!!

Hana's first Valentine's Day!

Happy girl - with her new bear!  :-)

We woke up to snow this morning!  Pretty day!

Knute & Katie brought Hana to my work for lunch one day last week!  :-)

KT Arrived Yesterday and Professional Pics.

My old (long-time, I mean!) friend Katie arrived form Atlanta yesterday!  She's here for a week to help us out while I go back to work!  I'm so happy that she's here, but trying to remain calm (not cry, like I did all last Friday!) about going back to work tomorrow.  I still do not want to go.  :-(

Here are some of the professional pictures we had taken!  I think they turned out well!  :-)

First Restaurant!

We decided not to cook tonight and Hana went to her first restaurant - Red Lobster!
She mostly slept, but fussed a bit.  We ate quickly!  :-)

Chop, chop!

I finally cut my hair to donate (to make a wig for someone with cancer).  Hana (4 weeks old today) keeps staring at my new shorter, darker hair!  I'm not sure what she thinks!

OMG!

I wasn't sure she'd notice, but she just kept staring at it!!

 

I love this outfit, by the way.
