The Kello Show

Who does our girl look like?

Daddy?

Momma?

Or perhaps, just like herself.

At 8 1/2 months, Hannah :

• Crawls (she started army crawling at the end of February and started real crawling on Sunday). She gets along pretty fast, but when all else fails, she reverts back to her army crawl.
• Walks holding someone's hands.  She's good too (which makes me nervous - I'm not ready for a walker). Last night she held on to a little standing play gym and slid it along and walked with it. I see a push walker in our near future.
• Has 5 teeth.  The fifth cut yesterday.  All the better to eat spinach with...

•  Is a really happy baby.  She's pretty much smiles most of the time...

•  Still loves Bella. They play together and sometimes even cuddle...

•  Really loves to take a bath.  She would spend hours in there if she could. She's discovered the pull cord for the drain stopper. The first time she pulled the drain out, it scared her immediately and she pulled herself up to get out of the tub and cried.  Now, she thinks it's pretty funny...

• Loves kisses. She loves to give them and get them.  And hers are messy.  I'm just warning you.

Hannah and I made a little surprise trip down to San Diego for my Aunt Jackie's 70th birthday.  My other aunts flew in and so did Aunt Jackie's kids, Sonia and David, and his family.  It was a blast.

I was just having some fun taking pictures of our sweet girl the other day in her yellow onsie.  I swear this kid looks good in any color. I can't pull off yellow to save my soul. 

This weekend, we went to our dear friend Olivia's first birthday party.  The weather was really cooperating, which was great, so the kids got to play outside some and enjoy the sun.  And of course, there was picture taking.
Hannah enjoyed the swing, while a very kind party-goer pushed her gently.  I think a swing set might be in our future. 

So, we're going back to trying the cloth diapers again. Now that Hannah is bigger, we think it's much more successful.  Last time, there was just too much bulk there.  And, even now, they're still on the tightest setting.

The bright colors are really cute and it makes me just want to leave her in diapers only all the time (even if it is a bit cold up here for that - we've got heat, right?).

Also, we've set up the loft (formerly Kelly's office) as Hannah's playroom. We got those awesome foam tiles to put over the wood floors and it's pretty great. We're still working on the decor, but Hannah doesn't seem to mind.

So, here she is, in all her diapered glory, sitting in her playroom.  Yea!
