A Few Firsts

Month six of Hannah's life held a lot of firsts for our little Miss. Hannah Jae!  She is growing up so quickly, sometimes I wish we could slow the days down!  Hannah started sitting up on her a few weeks ago and loves this new found freedom! 

She's especially cute when she's sitting up in the tub all by herself, splashing around.  She sits on a little bath mat and she likes to try and pull on it.  Since she can't pull it up to her mouth, she tries to get her mouth to it putting her face right into the water!  It's pretty funny, I think she's discovered that she can't breathe under water :)

Hannah also tried food for the first time this month!  We started her on a rice cereal which she is not to fond of.  She makes a sour face and sort of shakes her head, indicating that "this is no good!".  I also let her try avocado which I think she enjoyed more than the rice cereal.

On April 23rd, Hannah met her new born cousin for the first time!  Brittany and Colin are proud parents of their little girl, Avery.  We're all excited that these 2 little girls get to grow up together!

 

Carl and I took Hannah swimming for the first time this month!  The pool was very busy and quite loud which made Hannah apprehensive to go in at first.  Although she warmed up to it a little bit, we didn't quite get a smile out of her, she was just somewhat splashing around with a very serious face.

Although Hannah has been to Starbucks several times, this month she got to try her first Starbucks!

...Ok, maybe Mommy just let her hold the cup :)

Hannah is starting to make some interesting sounds.  I swear she is saying "Mom" but Carl insists it's more like "Mamamamama" and "babababa".  Either way, we think it's pretty darn cute!  What we don't think is very cute is the fact that Hannah is starting to wake up more at night!  At first I thought it might be because she is cutting her first tooth but I've read that around this age, what they call a sleep regression can occur...So now we're going into a sleep depression!  We're praying it's temporary!

Due to the beautiful weather, Hannah also had her first opportunity to wear a sun dress :)

 

So yes, six months was full of firsts and Hannah will be starting off her seventh month with her first air plane ride as Hannah and I head off to Kingston on May 8th!
