My how time flies!

Again it has been too long since our last Blog. Since April we have found out we are having a boy. So Collin Matthew will be joining us in October. When we ask Hannah where's Collin, she lifts up my shirt and shoves her little finger into my belly. She loves to give him kisses which lately has turned into her giving raspberries on my belly. We have been working hard on separating her from her pluggy. She is VERY attached. We try to limit pluggy time to snuggle and bed time and she is doing okay with it. The next big thing will be to get her to sleep in a toddler bed so we can move the crib to Collin's room. The problem is, Hannah LOVES her crib. It is like her security blanket. So that will be tough.

For about a month now she has been showing interest in the potty, but everytime we put her on it, she just sits there. This past Thursday, just before Matt picked her up at Lisa's, she finally went pee on the potty. We were so excited! Maybe we can get those diapers off her before we have to buy them for 2.

Hanging out in the pool.

She loves to wear her pink hat and sunglasses when she goes outside.

Splashing Around!

The evening before we had our yard sale Hannah decided she would make good use of the puddles outside after a day of rain. It started whenafter her bath, she handed Memere her winter boots and said, "Boots! Snow!" So Memere put on her boots and they headed outside. She had a blast running through the water and doing "Happy Feet" while the water soaked her.

Here is a quick video of her in the puddle, I took it on my digital camera, so it is kind of shaky.

Putting her to work!

She loves helping with the dishes. Whenever she hears the faucet turn on, she pushes a chair over to the sink.

Auntie Jess' Wedding

Hannah was the flower girl in my friend Jess' Wedding. I think she ended up stealing the show.

As they exchanged vows, there was Hannah smack dab in the front playing peek a boo with all the guests.

All the little munchkins, Alyssa, Nolan, Reid and Hannah. They are too sweet!

Piggy Tail Girl!

Just like Mommy
Hannah tries on Mommy's shoes for size. She was so proud of herself for getting them on.

Our Latest News

So yes I know it has been a while since I've updated Hannah's blog. We have been so busy it seems... Both Matt and I got quite to Valentine's Day gift this year. We found out on Valentine's Day that Hannah was going to be a big sister much sooner than we had planned. I was feeling quite sick all morning and was thinking to myself (I am feeling like crap, what is going on) so just for giggles I went home on my lunch and on my way home stopped in at Rite Aid to pick up a test thinking, "There is no way I am pregnant..." Sure enough, it didn't take long for the stick to change. I called Matt up right away and he didn't believe me. So not knowing how far along I was I had to wait about a month before my first appointment to find out when I would be due. My due date is October 8th. Everything is looking great, we had a small scare of a possible clot forming between the uterus and placenta, but after 3 ultrasounds they have determined that it is just a fiborous mass and they are not concerned. I have a feeling that it is a boy this time because I have had all day everyday morning sickness that has yet to subside, and I'm thinking only a boy could make me feel this bad :)

Hannah is getting so big these days, she carries on small conversations with us and we only understanding half of what she says. She helps us put clothes in the dryer, load the dishwasher and throw away trash. She says "Hi" to EVERYONE at the grocery store (but doesn't say a peep when I bring her to work to see everyone...) Watching her play makes Matt and I laugh because she knows when she's being funny. She really is becoming such a big girl and I don't think I am ready for that!!!

Here are some updated pictures.

Hannah and Reid take a tubby together.

"Look what the Easter Bunny left for me Mommy!" She was so excited to find a surprise hiding in the kitchen for her.

Baby # 2, I have a feeling this baby is going to have a bossy big sister!


Hannah gives Cooper a big kiss.

I know it's been a while!

February 13, 2008

This is Hannah's favorite thing to do this Winter; watch the plow truck go by. When she hears it, she gets all excited and climbs onto the couch. He always gives her a wave.

Our Little Diva

(Feb. 9, 2008)

Here's our little diva wearing Auntie Jaime's sunglasses with her sweet little fountain pony tail. She was such a little show off trotting around the house with the sunglasses. And it was great getting to see Jaime! She hadn't seen Hannah since she was about 3 months old. She couldn't believe how big she was, and how much personality she has.

Our Pizza Girl

(Feb. 8, 2008)

She LOVED having pizza the other night when Jaime was over, she kept saying "Pizza, pizza, pizza"

Jan. 13, 2008

She loves her kitchenette that Memere & Pepere bought her for Christmas, she is always opening to oven and trying to step on the door so she can reach the little microwave on the top.

Our little sink girl.

Fun with the Mullett Wig (Jan. 20, 2008)

Matt had a few friends over for the last game Patriots game so of course Hannah wore her team colors! The greatest was when he put the mullet wig on her. Normally she rips it right off of her head, but with MAtt's friends there laughing, she didn't move. It was pretty funny!

(Jan. 18, 2008)

Reid tries the mullet on for size. Little Joe Dirt!

Fun in the Tubby! (Dec. 30, 2007)

Matt did a little hair sculpting while he gave Hannah a bath, and of course when I got the camera she had to ham it up a little.

Nanny comes to Maine (12/29/08)

Nanny gets some loveys in with Hannah while she visited for the weekend. Hannah loved having her and Auntie Meegan here and we did as well. Hannah even called her "Nanny" the first night they were there. I am pretty bummed though, we didn't think to get a picture of Hannah with Auntie Meeg's!

Christmas, 2007 At Memere & Pepere's (12/29/07)

Hannah climbed into the walker on her own, she loves getting in it and walking around...
Opening her "sock" from Memere & Pepere
Big boy Reid with his Chirstmas jammies. A little love from the cousins.
The Grand Babies. We should have thought to take a babies picture before they all got sleepy.

Winter Baby (12/22/07) Matt and I brought Hannah outside to play in the snow. She was all smiles until...

she gave herself a white wash. Poor little girl didn't know what to think. She was so upset, and I am sure it didn't help that both Mommy and Daddy were laughing (it was funny...)
Family photo

All she wanted to do while outside was walking up and down the road. She was having the time of her life just walking. She was too sweet!

Christmas Photo

This picture was just too sweet to not share. Here she is in her chair from Grampy Scott in front of the Christmas Tree.

The BIG ONE!!!

I can't believe her first Birthday has already come and gone! Where has the year gone? She had a great Birthday with friends and family. She got a bunch of great gifts. She is so excited about all the gifts that play music because she loves dancing.

Here she is carrying around one of her gifts. She enjoyed opening her presents.
I love this picture. I think she looks so big in it.

This was her gift from Auntie Michelle. I stuck her in the bag with her gift and she didn't want to come out. She loved being inside with her "Zoey Pig" She loves this pig! She will carry it over to Matt and I so that we can wrap the arms around her neck for a big hug from "Zoey Pig".

On the 6th, Memere brought her some balloons and a little cake. She was hesitant at first and only stuck one finger in to taste, but as soon as she tasted the frosting, she was ready for more! She couldn't get it in fast enough!

Auntie Jess shares her candy apple with Hannah on Halloween. Hannah's wearing her jammies that Memere Cloutier bought for her.

On Halloween night we invited everyone over to pass out candy or take their kids trick or treating in our neighborhood. None of them could believe how many tirck or treaters we got! The neighbor had lost count at 226. It was such a fun night!

I think this is the first picture of Reid, Nolan, and Hannah all together. They were so good for about a minute

while we snapped a bunch of pictures. They are just too cute! Our Happy Little Skunk. As you can see, Hannah was getting pretty disgusted from wearing her costume. This picture cracks me up.
