I'm Cute.

Hello everyone. It's me, Hannah. My mommy has been doing some writing at home, so she's been showing me how to type. I've been working very hard this last week on being a big girl. Last weekend I went to my friend Reagan McCarthy's first birthday party. There were lots of fun kids there of all ages. When I saw that yummy cupcake that Reagan got to eat, I decided it was time to be a big girl! This week, I had a lot of fun with my new trick. I love bobbing my chin up and down. It always makes my mom and dad sing "Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-baranne" to me. I guess they think I'm trying to sing that song. Don't they know? I'm trying to say "ba-ba-ba, I want my BOTTLE!"

Today I got to help my daddy with his weekend project. He decided to cook a turkey, just like Alton does. He had to put the turkey in a brine in this bucket. I helped him decide if the turkey was going to fit!

I also played with my mom today. We played dress up. My mom put this t-shirt on me, and thought it was going to be WAY too big! She says that the tag said that it's a 12-month t-shirt. Well, it must not be, because it felt pretty tight on me!!


Guess what else? Today I did a very big-girl thing! I ate cereal for the very first time! See how slobbery and wet my shirt got? It was very nummy, but it was hard to keep it in my mouth. I showed my mom how grown up I was by using my new "ba-ba-ba" trick to get the food on the spoon.

Tonight, I'm going to be watching hockey and football with my daddy. I hope you all have a great weekend too!

Getting Dunked!

Last weekend was a busy one. Not only did Hannah experience her very first Halloween, she was baptized as well! Her baptism was at Christ the King Lutheran Church (where her mom and dad were married). She was a very good girl, and didn't mind the dunking. She did want to tell a few stories to the congregation, though, while she had their attention. A special thanks to all our friends and family who endured a rather strange and very long service, as her baptism coincided with the All Saint's Day celebration (there was chanting and lighting of candles for all the parishoners baptized and passed away in the past year).

Hannah wore her great-great grandpa Bill's baptism gown. He was baptized in it in 1906, and her mother was also baptized in it in 1981.

On a developmental note: Hannah has been loving sitting in her high chair lately. She is a little bookworm! She loves reading all books, but is especially infatuated with a particular bathtime book with a cow that goes "Moo, moo!"

She has also discovered her toes! The toe-grab is pretty much her favorite hang-out position nowadays.

Halloween Pumpkins

The weekend before Halloween, the Frame girls went to the Mantorville Halloween Festival. We visited Great Grandma at the gift shop, went on a haunted hay ride (driven by Great Grandpa), and ate dinner out of carved pumpkins! Alexis and Hannah loved the being in the fresh air and cuddling up in the hay with mom, auntie and grandma.

There was a pretty high demand for the hay ride! We waited almost an hour in line just to get on!

After the fun day in Mantorville, the girls put their costumes on for some Halloween pictures.

On Tuesday, we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our own pumpkins to carve.
One for Hannah and one for Mom and Dad.

On Halloween, we dressed up our own little pumpkin and went trick-or-treating at grandmas and grandpas houses.
