Day Out (Finally)

Let me start off by talking about last night- for some reason me and Forest didn't go to sleep until 2am..big mistake- Hannah slept until 4am..we woke up and I ended up watching The Shawshank Redemption..then she woke up again around 6am, we watched most of Fern Gulley...so needless to say I did not sleep last night. But today me and Hannah went to the park while Forest was at work- there were tons of people there and like 7 different moon bouncers- we ended up blending in with the crowd and watching some kids in Velcro suits jump onto a Velcro wall..hilarious. It was like 92 degrees out but the wind was blowing so we were pretty comfortable- She wore her sunglasses =] Then we went over to Memaw's house for a while and played with Lily- she is growing sooo fast! She wanted to kiss Hannah---well eat her really. Haha. We left there and took Forest a milkshake..then went to visit my old manager for a while.. My legs are sore. This is the most walking I have done in a while..and pushing that giant stroller around in the grass was a work out! Now we are off to get our PS2 from Teresa's house so we can play SingStar :)

Smiley =] :) =D

My Hanny Banany is smiling sooo much now- even though she has Thrush. We had to go to CVS last night and get this nasty purple medicine that she totally hates. The crib is working out good for her- I'm pretty sure she hates sleeping with blankets. I'm ready for her to start eating already! I am getting so tired of washing bottles all the time. I wish I still had a dishwasher, bet yet I just wish I had a maid. That would be awesome. She spent a few hours with her Memaw the other day..it was so hard to be away from her but after being out for a while I realized that I really needed the time to myself. I cant wait to paint something else (I just have to go to AC Moore and get me a couple canvas') I'm already planning Hannah's first birthday-after going into AC Moore and seeing the fondant kits- I think I am going to attempt to make something like Ace of Cakes- like 3 boxes- all bright colors- maybe some polka dots. I'm crazy- I shouldn't be planning this far in advance. --She is asleep right now on my granny's arm..I better go make a bottle because I know when Miss Piggy wakes up she will want it- I'll blog more later after some more of the day passes... till then- much love.

*pouty lip*

Missed 2 days of blogging -- 1 day because I was totally exhausted and the other because Forest took our desktop to work (it's still there but that's ok with me because I like the laptop better). Hannah is growing sooo fast. Now she pokes her bottom lip out before crying and she fake cries- It;s cute now but I imagine one day I will hate it. She is no longer sleeping though the night, Forest woke up with her like 4 times last night. ---- We have found a new hobby! Geocaching. We went out to the Midway cemetery to look for a hidden ammo box in a pile of rotting logs...we gave up and possibly got west nile.. Next spot we went to was J.F. Gregory, we found one hidden in a bird house on the walking trail, actually I found it =] On our way back to the car we saw 2 bunnies and a skinny raccoon. Hannah got to stay with her Poppa Doodle and her Mimi- she likes going over there because she gets attention the entire time we are there and plus Mimi sings to her and Popa plays her reggae music. So far she has been away from Momma a total of maybe 3 hours. My mom watched her yesterday while I picked Forest up to come get the computer and she loooved it. Last night was the first night Hannah slept in her crib. We have completely rearranged our room and her nursery so that the crib could go by my bed, I couldn't stand the thought of her being away from throughout the night. She did good, except for the waking up 4 times. I think she likes it because she can spread out and she doesn't have to sleep with the covers on her- she is warm natured like her daddy and fusses when she is just a little bit warm- we have to dance in front of the fan for her to stop crying. We became a member of Shutterfly.com and finally got some pictures of Hannah to put in our room. Today we may be going to Savannah to pick up a jogging stroller from a freecycle member- then I can take her to the park with me and not have to push her giant stroller around. Oh, she also sleeps with her hands on her face, like "Oh, my life is so hard!".... Anyways--she is gettin fussy and Forest gets a little scared when she fusses...

What a night!

Last night was a HORRIBLE night. No sleep for mommy =[ Hannah was super fussy and there was nothing I could do to sooth her. We woke up 4 times.. I had to pass her off this morning so I could get 30 minutes of sleep.-- As for today. When I woke up I found Hanny girl sitting in her bouncer in the kitchen with Granny..I ate breakfast and watched her stare at her toys hanging from the bouncer, she loves them. She laughed, "talked to them" and smiled for 20 minutes.. unfortunately I had to take her out and change her and then the smiling and laughing stopped. Forest came home for lunch around 12:30-we ate and then took him back to work.. She stays awake the majority of the day now which just makes it harder to get the house work done- And I guess now that Forest is home and with Hannah I should be folding clothes.. I need a break sometimes so the laundry can wait. We went Geocaching today- found a half eaten bag of sunflower seeds, a key and a High School Musical bracelet.. It was too dark to go down the nature trail to look for the big caches. Tomorrow will be another adventure. Hopefully we will see more raccoons =] Miss Priss is fussing because Forest is changing her.. Mom to the rescue. --Pray that she sleeps tonight!!

PopEye ;)

Scootie got to stay at her Poppa Doodles today while I went to Wal-Mart for a few things. She is such a good baby.. She even waited till momma got there to have a stinky- Lucky me.. She loves her little mouse rattle that hangs on the car seat that her Memaw got her-its so cute to watch her look at it and then try to grab it. We had a pretty good night last night even though Forest and I stayed up kinda late just watching T.V. so it was hard waking up for the first bottle.. (We are actually trying to wake her up now so we can get her fed and asleep, then we are going right to sleep!) Im pretty sure she is going to like the same music that her Daddy and Poppa Doodle like- Her Poppa sung Jimmy Buffet today and she stared at him throughout the entire song...- Have to go for the night so I can get her to wake up or I will be awake all night. Oh- the joys of being a parent..poops,bottles,pee,sleep,crying,more poop,bottle,another pee, then peed on, then sleep, tons more crying, millions and millions of tiny baby socks to keep up with, a giant diaper bag to carry around, not to mention the awkward car seat that has to be carried around, oh and did I mention the poops and pees?!?!!? It's honestly the greatest thing in the world. I love my Hanny =]

What are these?!?!?

“Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you

 tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.”

Today Hannah discovered her hands! I am so proud of her for being so smart and curious. It was so nice to lay in the bed this morning with my family and take the time to observe our little girl making her first discoveries.  - Forest                             ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                   [[About the hands from Mom-- She had her hand in a fist and slowly brought it up to her face, I think once she realized that it was connected to her hand she was terrified. Slowly she brought it closer and closer to her face, eyes getting bigger with every movement until it was so close that her eyes were absolutely crossed... So I thought that was the funniest thing she has done yet until she discovered that she has tow hands! Both hands balled up into fists she tried to follow both-like she wanted one eye to go with one hand and the other eye with the other hand..silly. Now she stares at them all the time- Soon she will be discovering her nose and her eyes will be crossed all the time..]]                           She is such a funny girl already- she is smiling so much and loves when I sing to her =] I can not wait to hear her first real laugh..I think about it every time I see her smile. She is growing everyday and now I think I finally see what people mean when they say enjoy everyday with her because they go so fast.. It really feels like I have had her longer than 44 days.. But at the same time it feels like she is a new baby every single day because every day is so different from the last. I love being a mom--better yet, I love being Hannah's momma. I am so thankful for all the blessings that God has given me.

43 days out of the womb.

Today was my last appointment with Dr. Crute... all is well in that "area". Hannah has been a really good girl today-except while we were trying to find parking at the hospital but thats ok because she went to sleep once we got in the office. Nothing really exciting or new happened today..We stopped by my moms house after our quick trip to Savannah and she gave me a box full of coffee--WEEE...come on caffeine =] A lot of Hannah's clothes are too small already so I am in the process of finding someone who really needs them- Once again another successful bath tonight, only this time dad put on his swimming shorts and got in with her! So cute. ~My sweet girl is fast asleep in her bassinet right now and so I think Forest and I are going to spend some quality time talking and possibly painting together before we call it a night.
