Christmas Morning

Hannah's first Christmas was absolutely delightful. We slept in a little bit (til 8:00am) and mosied on down in our pajamas to the tree to let the festivities begin. Hannah was reluctant to open all the presents. I think she wanted to play with each one first - you know, kick the tires a bit. She got tired of opening presents all together about halfway through so Mom and Dad had to take over. We made a big deal over each gift - which in hindsight might have been a tad overwhelming. All in all, it was a very good time. I just had to take a picture of the mess we made.







After we cleaned up the aftermath, we headed over to Aunt Jean's for a family get together. The closeup of Hannah is my absolute favorite - I worked on it in Photoshop and had it made into a painting via Winkflash. Not sure where it is going to go, but I'm sure we will find a spot. The one picture of Hannah looking like she is tripping is of...ahhh Hannah tripping. Please note, she caught her balance and did not fall after this picture was taken. I like the fact that she never let go of her "baby". The last picture is of handsome Greyson who apparently just scored a touchdown. Or maybe the Cowboys did. heehee.

First Haircut

Sorry for the delay, there has been some technical difficulties. Thanks for standing by.

Hannah had her first haircut right before Christmas. I think the pictures give you a good idea on how it went. Suffice to say, thank goodness for lollipops.

Pajama Day at Daycare

What a wonderful way to start our day! Hannah is rocking the gingerbread man pajamas this morning! Of course, I bring her into her classroom and apparently the other parents have forgotten about the all-important pajama day! (or maybe I just hallucinated it...)

Oh well, I'm glad Hannah is too young to be embarassed.

Pre-Christmas Cute

Behold the cuteness. Runny nose and all.

Thanksgiving

Besides the sickness that descended upon our household, Thanksgiving was a pleasant event (note Hannah's constant runny nose). My dear friend, Maria, came to visit (read: spoil Hannah) from NJ. Hannah is walking very well now and her favorite thing was to follow Cole. I think he really enjoyed having a shadow.



































And nothing says Thanksgiving like a motorcycle in the Davis household. Hannah is the latest recipient of a motorized motorcycle that has been passed down in our family from child to child. She quickly figured out that the red button means go. That's my girl.

Ahhh, confectioners sugar... yum!

I should have known better - it was just too quiet in the kitchen. Went to the kitchen and this is what I see.




















And then I see this. Can you stand it? Even when she is naughty she is adorable.

Apparently, Hannah enjoys the confectioners sugar very much. Especially right before bedtime.

Halloween Cute

I have some other pictures of autumn fun, but I just can't keep these photos to myself any longer. These were taken on two seperate occasions: our friends annual Halloween party (much fun was had in the moonwalk) and on Halloween getting ready to go trick or treating. Enjoy!
:)

P.S. We are now up to 5 teeth with number 6 fast approaching. Hannah is mobile, but only when she feels like it. She still likes to be carried around alot.

Race for the Cure

This past Saturday was our area's annual Race for the Cure event. This has been a longstanding tradition in the Davis household and Hannah did very well for her first time. We walked in honor of Chris's Mom who passed away last October after battling breast cancer for over nine years. We are thankful for those years we had together, but we all miss her very much. Hannah is lucky to have a guardian angel like her. I think the amount of people overwhelmed Hannah at first - you've got to wonder if she thought, "am I back in China?". But after a short while she got used to it and even dozed off a little bit. We are glad te rain held off until after the race.

After the race, we had an awesome breakfast at Mert's... good low country cookin'. While Hannah seemed to enjoy the eggs initially, they made for a very nasty surprise later in the day. Needless to say we had to change her in the middle of the Target parking lot and use her SECOND spare outfit for the day.

Halloween Decorating

Warning: There is no Hannah in this post.
I just wanted to share the Halloween decorations I put up in the front hallway. I was just really excited about how they turned out. That's all.

:)

Hannah at the County Fair

Hannah got to go to her first fair recently and it was a big huge success. I took some pictures of her pre-fair because she looked so darn cute. And she was nice enough to keep the hat on longer than 3 seconds. We started our fair experience by being suckered in to one of those "Every Chance is a Winner". Hannah was very good at picking up a duck that yielded a prize (they all do, but what does she know?). Hannah won a rubber duck and a plush monkey.

Then we tried the merry-go-round. Hannah was extremely focused the first turn with me. She held onto the pole and looked straight ahead the whole time. By the second go around with Daddy, she was much more relaxed. Check out the high five with Cole - isn't that the cutest? We ended our day with some good ole' fashioned carnival food. Hotdogs and funnel cakes and french fries... oh yuck!

:)

Ladybug at the Labor Day Picnic

Here are some shots from the Labor Day picnic. Hannah is a little daredevil and she could not get enough of being tossed around by her uncles. They did a really good job of catching her, much to Hannah's mother's delight.

The Return of the Cute (as if it ever left)

Just some examples of the acts of cute we are lucky enough to witness daily.
