Our little baby is quite the growing girl! We’ll celebrate her two month mark tomorrow, July 13th. We are eager for her 2 month check up with her doctor, to find out how much she’s grown and gained. Below are some photos of her in recent weeks.

Daddy picked this hat out for her, to protect her from the sun when we go on walks. She loves the outdoors!

Our smiling sunshine! Hannah has been smiling so much in the last two weeks.

Showing off her pretty blue eyes...

Hannah loves it when we talk to her.

Nap time with Daddy!

She become more of a fan of tummy time, especially when laying on a pillow.

Hannah has definitely changed since the first day we saw her! For those of you who haven’t seen her in a while, her hair (and those cute cheeks!) has started to fill in, along with her adorable belly. She grows stronger each day, which means one day closer to fully escaping the Master Swaddler’s (aka Daddy) bundle.

Almost always gets at least one hand free from the swaddle...

Loves the swing (thanks, Bridenstines, for lending it to us!)

Please click on the link below to view some of the beautiful photos a generous and talented photographer took for us on Hannah’s 9th day. We were so blessed by Sallie’s creativity, keen eye and sweet spirit. Enjoy!

Hannah will be 7 weeks old tomorrow (7/1) and is growing so quickly!

At 5 weeks she was in the top 75% for her height and head circumfrence, and 50% for weight. Since birth, she has gained 3 inches and 3 pounds (as of two weeks ago)!

Her favorite position these days is being held high over a shoulder, so her curious eyes and ever-learning brain can take everything in. She must think she’ll miss something during the day, because naps have not been her friend. However, she has no problem sleeping at night (between meals), and transitioned to her own room very easily.

She can now hold her head up for several seconds and smiles at both Mommy and Daddy. We are so proud of her and thank God for her, and that she’s so healthy and strong.

 What is there not to love about bath time?
My silly parents, a comfy tub, ‘n the cozy water
All warm my heart like a fun-loving daughter.
Getting clean and looking pretty
Sometimes all to the tune of “Little Bitty”;
My dad sings the words,
While Mom scrubs away,
Splashing ’round -
Spells fun for everyday!
Next came the oh-so-soft duckie towel,
So warm I didn’t make a grunt or growl.
Nice and cozy in Mommy’s arms,
Tho we jumped right to the diaper alarms.
Next came the lotion,
Daddy says it’s Mom’s life-potion.
Sweet smelling and super clean,
All ready for the onesie machine.
My first bath was full of pure joy
You know I wouldn’t lie -
I’m Hannah, the Real McCoy!

Aw, my loving daddy

Chillin' in my new blue tub

Mmm...my new ducky towel

Bye bye for now!

Below are some photos of Hannah’s last two weeks. Her aunt Debby and cousin Malachi came to visit us. And as soon as they left, aunt Sarah flew in to spend time with us as well.

And with Aunt Sarah

She was born at 8:00pm on Wednesday, May 13th after a very long labor process and and was 7.2 lbs and 19 inches long.

           

I know we already posted pictures of Hannah’s room, but Grandma came over and added a few final touches that we wanted to show off.

One more week until Hannah’s due date…  While she could arrive any day now, we are still keeping in mind that she could wait until late May to make her debut.

We are thankful that we are all doing well and right on track. The Lord has been so good to us. Please feel free to pray for us as we get closer and closer to “labor day”.   

39 weeks

Her bed is ready and waiting...

Hopefully we're well stocked in supplies...

A close up for you...

Praying & speaking over her already...

With less than 3 weeks until her due date,we’re doing what we can to prepare Hannah’s new home. While the “To Do List” is still quite long, the nursery is definitely in great shape!
