so much for "babyproofing"....

I don't think we'd even had this thing for 2 weeks... and now we will have to put a real lock on the attic door. And we'll probably be playing the "go back to bed" game again at night.

"hi, bright eyes"

Good morning!

checking out daddy's new ride

It was raining last night, but that did not stop him from playing with his new "baby" a little. Hannah was thrilled to get to wait up past her bedtime to see Daddy.





So far she's keeping a safe distance between the bike and herself. Although the pics don't seem to indicate it, she seems to like it. Now if I can get her to not want to pet our woodchuck.


She did sit on the motorcycle with Daddy for a few seconds today. Then she got mad that she could not ride it with him.

This is one of the less annoying songs from the big cuddly dinosaur that Hannah likes to watch on videos that were handed down to her. And whenever we put her in a "spaghetti bib", (adult t-shirt), she thinks she's got butterfly wings.

when mommy's back is turned and it gets quiet....

look in the bathroom...

bath time with bunny

somebody snuck a friend into the bathtub with her...

A new trick- all by myself!!!

Hannah has been doing assisted flips for months, perhaps a year. Tonight she figured out how to do somersaults all by herself... with a little "hogwarts" action thrown in there.

Jingle Bear & snapshots from the week

Guess Hannah's favorite Christmas Carol.

A minor miracle took place during this episode of "Dancing with the Bear." She was wearing her training pants and did not have an accident. Today she was not as willing to use the potty as she had been earlier this week, but we're still proud of her progress. This photo was taken Friday, she actually got a couple of more stickers after this:

Bubble Beard

Mommy did most of the work, but Hannah had fun getting cotton and elmer's glue all over her fingers... and washing them in the sink afterward.

Childlike wonder: Hannah loves Christmas lights. This snowman is in front of our neighbor's house. Maybe Hannah can talk Daddy into decorating our house this year.... maybe....
