So all I wanted was a picture of the kids together...
I tried it in the morning by myself
but after about 10 minutes I was sweating and
I feared for Eldon's life
because Hannah kept jumping on him.
So we waited for Mike to get home
Professional photo shoot this was not...
Here is a glimpse of 5 minutes of our life.

I remember when Hannah was born people told me the grow so fast and hardly stay babies for long. With Eldon, I've tried to savor these days of newborn baby grunts and noises, tiny newborn clothes and diapers and hours of peaceful sleeping. But it seems this little guy is growing by the hour! Already out of newborn size and into 0-3 month clothes. Eating 3-4ounces at a time.
We're still amazed we have another baby in our house again, we hardly had things put away from Hannah! But it all came back quickly for us and we're enjoying the snuggles with our little man.

We're introducing more and more table foods. She loves string beans, raisin toast and her juice from her sippy cup. She eats oatmeal for breakfast and stage 3 fruit for lunch and vegetables for dinner.
Her smile and laugh bring us joy each day. Her favorite game is to play peek-a-boo with anything she can put over her face. She got some fun toys for Christmas and enjoys anything that plays music. When the music plays, her "wiggle wiggle" turns into a little dance and she "sings" along with everything. There is a Bigby Coffee commercial on during the morning news. As soon as she hears that first note she turns and watches the whole commercial. It's a cute little jingle with colorful screens. It amazes us and makes us laugh everytime.
When she's not talking or singing, she's clicking her tongue or blowing raspberries. There's also one little tooth on her bottom left side. She did so good while it broke through!
We couldn't ask for a better night sleeper.... she goes to bed at 6:30, sleeps all night until 7-8am. Usually a 2 hour nap in the morning and an hour nap in the afternoon. She's still isn't a cuddler though... she's go go go until the minute you lay her down in bed!
There's still no signs of crawling anytime soon. She still hates to be on her stomach and would much rather just sit and play with anything in reach. Compared to most kids her age, she's a bit taller, but so much skinnier. She's still such a peanut; wearing size 2 diapers, 9 month pants (for length) but mostly 6-9 month shirts!

Grandpa put her in a box... she wasn't so sure about it!

Her favorite toy from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Bri! She loves to hug and dance along with this little dog!

This year Hannah was the youngest kid born on the Rosenberger side. That means she got to sit on Grandma's lap while she read the Christmas story. I've always looked forward to the day my kid would get to be the one sitting there!

How big is Hannah?
That's what we're doing the most of here at our house! Hannah's first trick!
Also, "wiggle, wiggle" gets a cute little shoulder shimmy going. She makes us laugh constantly.
Always sitting up on her own, no crawling though... still hates to be on her stomach.
Loves her playtime on the floor with her toys.
Talks and sings non stop!
Is Daddy's girl... watches his every move. Also has taken quite an interest to Luke the dog.
Wears size 3 diapers & 6-9 months clothes. She's eating more new foods, macaroni and cheese are her favorites. Oatmeal for breakfast and cinnamon raisin toast with lunch.
We also found out this month that Hannah will have a little brother to play with in the spring!

Hannah's first Thanksgiving! We spent the day at Grandma Bodell's with family and friends. Hannah enjoyed mashed taters, sweet taters and bits of turkey. Despite her stuffy nose, she was her happy self all day!
Friday we shopped a little in the morning and then Hannah spent the evening/night with Grandpa and Grandma Rosenberger so Mike and I could have an evening out.
We are so thankful for our happy, healthy Hannah and her part in our family of 3 (1/2)!

No teeth yet, but she's drooling more and like normal, EVERYTHING goes into her mouth! Mostly her feet these days. She started sucking on her lower lip.
She's such a happy girl! In the past few weeks she's become such a daddy's girl. She watches his every move and flashes her big smiles anytime he looks at her. I love seeing the two of them cuddle in the mornings while I take a shower. They have their own special games and songs they play with each other.


She continues to eat very well. We started giving her slices of bananas, apples and peaches in her mesh feeder. But don't take it away before she's finished! She also started getting formula while she's at Grandma Bodell's during the week.
Hannah also stayed in her first hotel on our trip to Georgia. We stayed in the same hotel her dad did while he was growing up and took trips to Michigan from Georgia.
It was also her first road trip! All the way to Georgia! To meet her friend Paul. Paul's dad, Chad and Mike grew up next door to each other. Paul was born only 3 hours after Hannah. We love visiting with the Spence's and now it's even more fun with the kiddos!


Me, Hannah, Jessica (Chad's sister), her son Colin (one month older than the other two), Martha and Paul. It was a houseful..so much fun with the babies!

While we were in Georgia we took a trip to Atlanta to the Georgia Aquarium. It's the largest aquarium in the United States. The exibits were breathtaking! Hannah was interested in watching the fish and all the people! The largest tank was so incredible; it's indescribable. It held 6 million gallons of water. There were 4 different rooms you could go in to see it at ever angle. Incredible!

You weigh about 13 lbs, 24 inches long. You still have the brightest blue eyes and you hair is getting thicker with almost an auburn tint.
In the car you like to sing. Mama turns down the radio so I can hear your soft little voice cooing along. But when you're home and playing with Daddy you love to laugh and giggle and scream! You also think it's funny to scream in the grocery store with Mama too!
Shhh, don't tell your doctor, but you've started on baby food. You're a growing, hungry girl! We started with a vegetable for dinner, you like green beans, peas, squash, sweet potatoes and carrots are your favorite. After a few weeks we started with fruit for lunch; pears, peaches and applesauce. Most of the time we can't get the spoon to you mouth fast enough.
You've also started playing with toys. Mostly just chewing on them, but you've always got to have something in your busy little hands. You love to stand up straight on our laps and scream and smile; you're so proud of yourself! You also love to read books before you go to bed at night.
I've found you on your stomach a couple times in your crib, but we've yet to actually see you roll over.

FEET! A few weeks ago you discovered your feet and haven't let go of them since!


We're on a normal work/daycare routine now. Dad takes you to Grandma Bodell's 3 days a week while Mom works. While Mom enjoys my job, I miss you and can't wait to see you at the end of the day. Being your Mama is my #1 job!
You've spent some time with Grandma & Grandpa Rosenberger and have become quite a Grandpa's girl. You're interested in everything he says and love to be outside with him!
Miss Hannah Banana, you are our greatest joy and your little smile melts our hearts everytime!
