Videos from wk of May 2-13

Hanna discovers the flashing lights and noises of her toys. She is enjoying her toys so much more now that she can sit up.

Beginning of May days. May 2-13

 Enjoying some warm weather outside with her toys. She loves the outdoors and fresh air.

 I took G and G Pihrag to the zoo last Tuesday when they were here. We had the privilege of seeing this peacock with it's feathers out. Usually they walk around with them hanging behind them.

 Finally some pictures of Hanna's swimming "lessons". We have been going for the last few wks every Tues and Thursday at 6:30-7:00.  This Thursday - May 17th will be the last one. Thanks to Sarah P for coming along and snapping a few.

 Yes, Hanna is doing quite well in the food dept as per the chubby legs. :)

 Hanna's favourite thing to do...go after the toys in the pool. See her little bird mouth and she kicks like crazy and reaches for it. Only to put it in her mouth and chew on it. Gross!

 Time spent with Gpa while I got supper ready. She quite enjoyed this.

 Hanna's first experience with watermelon. She made a royal mess but thoroughly enjoyed it!

 See...I like my watermelon!

 Hanna likes Fridays too. :)

 Hanna's first reaction...we think it was egg. I let her suck on a piece of french toast...

 My first mother's day present courtesy of my hubby. Thanks Shawn!

 Yummy cupcakes full of sugar but oh so good.

 My Sunday lunch - grilled cheese and watermelon...again courtesy of Shawn.

 Gma enjoying Hanna at the zoo.

Trying on sunglasses at Joe store. She didn't like them... :)

One more...

Busy girl these days...starting to get her hands on everything.

More videos...

Unless the video is poor quality, it takes a long time to load the videos. That's why I do it one at a time.  Here's Hanna showing how she can move around these days. I'm going to have to invest in some safety gates soon.

Spring Rain and Snow Week - May 1-5 wk

Hanna turned 8 months this week. I can't believe how fast it has gone. She has certainly changed my life in so many ways and put a lot of things in perspective. She is becoming more busy every week it seems. The pictures below will show what I'm talking about.

We had a good week this week. I had an Usborne shipment come in that I organized and distributed this week. I have to get on my neighbourhood walk to deliver some colourful flyers encouraging parents to "Prepare" their kids for Summer with some new reading material. The more I see of these books, the more I love them. I sure appreciate those of you that have supported me so far in my venture.

We have had one full week of moisture in the form of rain and snow...quite a few grey days that have left me just wanting to stay inside. Twice this week I ventured out with the stroller to go for a walk with Joey and both times got rained on, on the way home. I'm trying really hard to walk to the grocery store. It helps me not buy so much as well as helps me get exercise.

Hope everyone that is paying attention to this blog has a great week ahead.

Love from all of us here!

 Hanna with her new book from Gma Radom. She loves all the colours...but mostly she still likes to chew it.

 Hanna shows off many of her new skills this week - rolling all around the living room.

 Another skill Hanna is perfecting at a fast pace - sitting on her own.

 I love when Hanna smiles because she smiles with her eyes.

 What a little goof this girl is going to be...

 Another strange new thing she has acquired...looking at the world sideways.

A special privilege we had last Friday night...joined the workers in a meeting with all the age 12-17 year olds in our field. They studied the works of the flesh in Galations 5. We had some straight conversations there and I hope we were of some help. This is all the kids plus a little 7 month old in the midst...find "Waldo".
