Ode to the Papasan Seat

What a great seat you have been for 9 long months! Even though Hannah Grace had the ability to climb out of you a long time ago , she just now has! I am sad to say goodbye to you, but pretty sure we got our money's worth :) Anyone who is is looking for a great seat, this is the best!

9 Months

9 Months has come very quickly!! Hannah Grace is just growing up and doing so many new things everyday! She is now semi-crawling and is into everything!!! Pulling out DVD's, tearing pages out of books and crawling and getting stuck underneath furniture. I feel like I chase her all over the house all day :) I love this stage and love watching her be so curious. She is so playful and loves to roll around all over the place with Clint and me. Clint has started carrying her around the house in the laundry basket and she loves that. She just giggles the whole time as he runs around the house with her. She is eating real food now and prefers it over baby food. She has had peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, cheerios, crackers, banana, cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon. The only thing she doesn't like is avocado and she gags on this every time I try and give it to her! She has had another allergic reaction and it was to teething biscuits! I think it was the milk in them, but I sure hope not. I guess I will find out sure enough, when I introduce dairy. She finally got her first tooth on the bottom about 3 weeks ago and the second one is starting to come in now. Hannah Grace still loves dogs and the apartment we are in, has a pet park that we visit on a daily basis! I swear Hannah Grace could watch those dogs run around all day long. It is funny, if they don't pay her enough attention and walk away from her, she gets very upset. So, the sweet owners make sure to keep them close, so she is happy. Do you think our little girl likes attention?!? Oh, and the best thing Hannah Grace has done is say Mama!! She was very fussy from her ear infection and reached out for me, while saying Mama. My heart melted and I almost cried. Clint thinks that she said Dada the other night, but I am yet to witness this, so I say that she said MAMA first :) I thought she would make it on the charts this month, but not yet! She is still off the charts for both Weight (22lbs. 14 oz) and Height (28 1/2 in.). No slowing down in growth for this girl! Clint and I just love her so much and love watching her learn all these new things.

Moving and Ear Infections

I haven't blogged in a while and that is because it has been crazy!! Our house finally sold 3 weeks ago, after being on the market for a while! We had to be out in 2 weeks, so it was a little chaotic around our house trying to get everything packed up and trying to find a place to go! We are living in an apartment temporarily, while we build a house that will have more than 1 bathroom!! I was a little sad to leave our first house, but we are excited about the future! We had so many wonderful memories in that house. To add to the madness of moving, Hannah Grace gets an ear infection the day before we moved. Poor thing was pitiful and cried all day, and that is when I knew it was time to go to the Dr.! Thankfully, my Mom was in town, or I think I would have went crazy, trying to pack and take care of a sick child! Well, I think the ear infection is back, so this would make 2 in 3 weeks!! We go to the Dr. tomorrow, so we will see what she has to say. Last time she told me that if Hannah Grace got many more infections, she would have to get tubes. I sure hope she doesn't, but if it would help, I will do anything to get my little girl better.
