Wordless Wednesday!

My big girl!!!

So we have started to potty train Hannah. I started to take her whenever she said "poop". She has done such a great job of telling me. We have caught a pee a couple of times so I thought that maybe it was time.

We are on day 2 of no diaper during the day (except for nap time and bed time). I have put some pants on her to catch any pee that does not make it to the toilet. Yesterday we went through every pair of pants she has so she ended up wearing a diaper for the evening. Today so far she is in the pair of pants I first put on her. She is down for nap number one now but I have great hopes for the rest of the day. I will post again tonight to let you know how well she did and I will add some photos of her eating her breakfast today (she is just so cute!!!)

Busy summer!!

Well, summer has just been flying by. Graduation has come and gone, and so has Hannah's first birthday! My baby is one year old, walking on her own and she has 7 (almost 8) teeth. Our basement is finally finished and everything has been moved down here to make a family room and play room and guest bedroom. It feels so great to be able to use all of my house.

Mike and I are leaving for Minneapolis on the 22. We are going for our anniversary and we are leaving Hannah is the care of her Grandparents while we are gone. I am so nervous about leaving her for 6 full days but I know that she will be well taken care of. She has been coming into herself so much more these days that I am afraid of missing something. I am sure that everything will be just fine and that I have to put my trust in God. Our message this morning in church was about trusting God and not worrying about things so I am going to do my best.

The joys of being a mom!!

There are so many days when I feel like pulling my hair out and then she giggles at something little I did or she falls asleep on my chest or sits by herself and talks to her teddy bears and my heart melts. Words cannot express what a blessing it is to be a mom and to see this child changing day by day right before your eyes. Their personality changes, their looks, their height/weight. As they grow they just seem to get cuter and cuter. They also start to develop an attitude and start to do things to push the boundaries. God has given me a strong willed child and I know that He has a wonderful plan for her life. I can't wait to see how He uses this will for His purpose!!

It has been way too long!

Hey everyone!! I was just reading the last post on my blog and I realized that I have not posted something in a very long time. So just a quick over view of what our lives have been like for the past 7 months... Hannah has four teeth and she is such a happy baby. She has her moments of sadness and she even has an attitude but for the most part she is just a happy, funny kid. Mike is still at the school division but he is working part time trying to finish our basement. We now have a bedroom that is almost move in ready, a laundry room and a bathroom with a working shower. The family room downstairs just needs to be painted and carpet put in and we will be able to use the other half of our house. I cannot wait!!!

I am three weeks away from writing my final exams and being done with school forever. Whoever said that going to school with an infant would be easy clearly had never tried to complete such a task. Not only do I want to be with my baby I also have a house to clean, meals to make, school work to do... and the list goes on and on. I cannot express how excited I am going to be when they hand me my diploma and tell me that I am finished!!! Oh the anticipation.

Well, here are a few pictures of Hannah so enjoy.
