Walking Debut

Well, it is official, Hannah has decided to start walking. It has taken her a long time to come this far, as her first steps were at the end of April, and now it is mid June. None the less, she had the ability since that April day, but for some unknown reason to us, or the rest of the world, she decided to hold off until now. Either way, we are ecstatic for her new found freedom. Now we all venture forth into walking toddler land. The video isn't great but you get the idea. She knows she's got it, and just wants to show off.

At the Park Video Footage

In Robbie's last post, he mentioned some video footage of Hannah I had taken. Well, the footage I took was vertical, I must of thought I was taking pictures, who knows. Anyway, I took Hannah back to the park and she was a willing participant in a another take of her going up and down the slide. The footage is in two parts, as I don't currently have the software to combine the videos into one.

Enjoy!

At the Park

We finally got a break in the weather and made it to the park. Hannah's friend Jack showed her how to climb up the stairs and go down the slide. So now that's pretty much all she wants to do.

Naomi was able to capture a couple of good shots as Hannah was coming down, so we thought we'd share them.


Naomi also took a video sideways that she'll try to straighten out prior to posting. Stay tuned!

PARTY TIME!

Hannah's big party was a success. Some family and numerous local friends attended the starry event.

Hannah's getting excited as she watches all of the crazy cousins and other energized kids running around.

It turns out she liked her cake. Yum.....raspberry filling.

She got ton's of gifts including these cool shades.

We ended the event with a trip to John Day's Best Western for a dip in their pool.

The Big 1

Hannah turned 1 today. Although we didn't have a party for her she did have the opportunity to practice opening presents. She got a lot of great things, books, clothes, barrettes, a stylin' cowgirl hat, some dora the explorer underwear, and a wooden helicopter. We think she'll be ready for the big party to come.

Every time we go to the store Hannah points at the balloons. So low and behold she received some for her birthday. She wasn't real sure of them at first but by the end of the night she was enjoying them.
