WOW! One Year

So today is Hannah's birthday. It's hard to believe that one year ago we were in the hospital looking at her for the first time...it seems like forever ago. Here are a couple pictures so you can see how she has changed.

This is a picture from the hospital.


Here is a picture from a month after she was bom.



And here is a picture from today.

It's amazing how much she has grown in size and personality. She loves to babble, crawl, and her latest thing is to point at people...especially other kids. Another exciting development is her walking skills. We realized today that she uses the coffee table a lot to help her walk, so today we moved it out. And boy has she been walking tons since we got rid of it.

She now has a big open space in our place to practice walking. She's still pretty slow, but I think she'll be running in no time.

Since Hannah is too young to remember or enjoy the fact that it is her birthday, we decided to do two things that Caleb and I really enjoy. The first was lunch at Red Robin. The food was good, but our waitress was alittle slow...nothing like the amazing wait staff in Issaquah! After that we made a trip to Walmart where we bought Hannah a new car seat. Now that she is 1 she can face forward in the car! We are pretty excited about that!! And then on the way home Caleb and I ate some tasty ice cream snacks. In general, I think it was a pretty fun birthday. I mean, if you think about it, Caleb and I have a lot to celebrate; one successful year of parenting (so we think), a beautiful, happy little girl. We have been so blessed over the past year, that I think that is reason enough for us to celebrate (as well as Hannah). Anyhow, we had a great time...and I think Hannah did too because she slept for 11 hours (hopefully this sleeping trend will continue).

So that was our big birthday day. Below is a pictures of Hannah having fun at Red Robin
