We took Hannah to the Oregon Country Fair since we’d never been before. It was very fun, like traveling to a foreign country but only having to be on the bus for 30 minutes. My favorite part was all the costumes, and the parades, Hannah just enjoyed looking at all the brightly dressed people and napping in her jog stroller.

It seems like Hannah gets a little more mobile every day! She’s rolling around a lot, and likes to roll onto her back and scoot backwards, though I’m sure that’s not helping the bald spot, haha. She’s making her way through the world of pureed fruits and veggies and tolerated everything except avocados and apples. We’re supposed to be working up to 2 meals a day, but for now it keeps us busy enough just doing one. Adam has softball with his company team on Monday nights, and I work wednesday nights so our weeks are pretty full. We’ve also been enjoying weddings and catching up with friends on the weekends. Though this weekend we’re looking forward to not having any thing on the calendar.

Right now Hannah is supposed to be going to sleep, but instead she keeps flipping over on her stomach and spinning around to look out of her crib. She’s also just mastered changing the music on her “scout” toy from “bedtime” to “playtime”, clever girl.

She’s still just rocking the 2 front teeth she got a month ago, but enjoying chewing on the world. It’s especially funny now because she makes tiny little teeth marks on the things she chews on.

She got a haircut, I should just say a trim because we just cut a tiny bit of her bangs so they weren’t falling in her eyes. Thankfully my mom was willing to do the trimming while Adam held her still for a couple of seconds. It makes her looks like she has way more hair now that I don’t have to sweep it off to the side to keep it out of her eyes.

Hannah loves standing, especially at her baby play table that makes lots of noise when she bangs on it. Adam, being the clever parent, figured out that there is much less fussing during lotion time ( a twice daily routine to try and help with the baby exzema) if she gets to stand and bang on her table while she’s being slathered.

There is lots of love and smiles and dog hair in the Becker house.

Hannah will be 6 months old tomorrow!

It’s been a big month for her. She has mastered sitting up. Found her feet, and now hangs out in her crib for a bit after she wakes up and plays with them. She jumps like crazy in the jump-a-roo at church, and has even started jumping in her slightly less bouncy exersaucer at home. She looks when you say her name, and will arch out of the carseat when you unbuckle her. She got 2 teeth, the bottom front two, but when you try and see them, she sticks out her tongue.

Just in the last couple of days she has started rolling tons, mostly when she is supposed to be going to sleep. She rolls onto her tummy towards the quilt her Aunt Vicki made her that’s hanging over her crib and plays an odd version of baby peek-a-boo. Then rolls the other way and pets her heartbeat bear. We have to swaddle her arms to get her to stop rolling and go to sleep.

I can’t believe she’s been her half a year! Just when we think it isn’t possible, we love her even more.
