6 Weeks Old

Our little girl is already 6 weeks old! She has been growing like crazy lately.

Hannah is just starting to give us some beautiful smiles! She loves smiling and saying "A-goo" after getting her diaper changed. It's hard to catch those smiles with the camera, but here's our best effort!


Mom and Hannah had their first trip to the park. Hannah loved feeling the breeze on her face and kicking around on her blanket.

Hannah and Alexis travel in style in Grandma Brenda's van.

Hannah has had some fun visitors come see her lately. Ryan, Annie, Bella and Nolan LaMere came over to play one night, and Rodney and Tim came over to hang out the next night!

One Month Old

Hannah had her one month birthday yesterday. She celebrated by hanging out at Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Bill's house in Pine Island, and visiting with Grandpa Mick at his work. After her 3-week growth spurt, she is officially beginning to grow out of some of her clothes. Mom and Dad are scrambling to have her wear some of our favorites one last time!

Mom is pretty positive Hannah had her very first REAL smile on her birthday. We were getting changed to go to grandma's house, and talking about how exciting the trip would be. We got so excited that her little face lit up and poof! Out popped a real-live smile! Very sweet.

Above are some of our favorite photos from her recent photo shoot with Heather and Tim. For info on Heather and Tim's photography, email heather.newcomb@gmail.com.

Hannah had her first photo shoot this week, with cousins Heather and Tim Newcomb. We'll share more of these photos as soon as we get them!
Uncle WiL came up to meet her after picking up Grandma from the airport.
More Alexis and Hannah shots. The two girls are having fun getting used to each other (and getting used to sharing the spotlight with each other!).
Hannah went to the VA Home to meet Great-Grandpa Orv last Saturday. She was quite the attraction as the residents filed out of the BINGO parlor!
Hannah loves to take naps with all of her favorite people. See more nap pictures below.

Hannah is 3 weeks old today! She's finally starting to chunk up a little bit. The doctors feel confident that she's kicked the jaundice, and doesn't need to have the lights on her any more. Mom and Hannah have been enjoying their days together: sleeping, eating, and changing diapers. Dad is back at work again, and likes to rush home to hang with his girls at night. Hannah is still getting to know her grandmas and grandpas as much as possible.

Hannah's First Week!

This is going to be a long post since we have not had time to update our blog to this point. We do want to thank Bill for getting some pictures up for us while we were still at the hospital, I know a lot of people were waiting to see Hannah.

So far Hannah and Mom are both doing well. Hannah has been battling a case of Jaundice but has been doing very well. She has had to suffer more than her share of heel pokes so far for the blood test but will hopefully have her last one for a while on Thursday the 26th.

As soon as we got Hannah home we brought her into her new room to check things out. When we put her in the crib she sprawled right out and made herself comfortable.

Due to the Jaundice she has been fighting she needed to wear these special lights to break down the materials in her body that were causing the illness. The nice part of the light were that we did not need to worry about a night light, she literally "lit up the room". Hannah did not seem to mind wearing the lights and may have even enjoyed the warmth (she got that from her mother).

Hannah even got to enjoy her first bath this week, although she might use the term "enjoy". She wasn't to happy to be all wet but in the end she was a fresh clean baby. I think that she was really mad that we took away all the milk she was stashing under her chin.

Over the weekend Grandma Frame stayed with us and Auntie Amanda came too. That meant some play time for the cousins who are destined to be thick as thieves. Even though the picture shows different Hannah was quite thrilled but I don't think Alexis was happy to be sharing the spot light.

In a nut shell that was this little peanut's first week in her new world.

Check back soon for more updates.

P.S. Good Luck Grandma in Montana!
