My Patient Puppy

So while I try to get these miniscule pieces of food into my hands, Emmett waits ever so patiently for the hand off. He doesn't whine, bark, or even howl. Knowing that his reward will come shortly, he just waits at my side...sometimes right by my side. Poor mommy. She too waits patiently, hoping, praying, that I will choose to feed myself and not throw yet another piece on the floor to Emmett. Sorry, mom...it's just such a fun game...I can't resist!

And Now For the Handoff

And then...after he patiently waits for the goods...I drop the cracker onto the ground for him to fetch! What a fun game! Mom got lots of shots of this moment...so enjoy!

Where's My Shirt?

I bet you are wondering where my shirt is. Well...it's not on me! I was drinking some water out of mommy's cup and was doing quite the good job until a little overflowed and soaked my shirt. So to avoid being damp for the rest of the afternoon...we just decided to take that old thing off! How nice and refreshing for a hot and humid June day! I know, I know, I can't get used to this feeling...daddy makes me well aware of that. But they don't mind that I do it now.

So Delicious!

Betcha didn't know I can eat a cracker by myself did you? Well, I sure can! What a treat that is! It tastes so delicious...well...until it gets soggy from me gumming it around. Then I just drop it on the floor for Emmett to get. We work as a team, he and I...as you saw from the previous pictures of course.

Just Doin' Some Laundry

I've become a bit of a better helper lately. Last time you saw me helping with the laundry...well...I was just riding in the basket so mom wouldn't have to carry me and the basket of clothes. I don't know if you really call that helping! But the other day...I got right to work. I was a little confused, however, on how to get mommy's shorts folded. Do you see my bewildered face? But all in all, I was proud of myself for contributing that day...hence the big smile! Oh and mommy said she's sorry the bed isn't made. It was just one of those days (all the more reason for me to pitch in and help!).

A Special Shout Out

Here's a special shout out to those who love me in Kennesaw, GA (that's you Grandmama and Grandaddy!)! Thanks so much for my great onesie. I can now fit into it...although I think it was created for a Chub Baby...short and fat. It's a little snug length-wise and quite baggy width-wise. But I still love it! I'm giving you a big wave! Thanks and can't wait to see you soon!

My Serious Faces

So here are my serious faces. I told mommy to do them in black and white to get the full effect of my seriousness. She decided to do one in color. Not long after these shots I got pretty fussy. This was the calm before the storm.

My Big Girl Cup

So I never took a bottle but I feel pretty good about this here cup. I've gotten pretty good at picking it up by myself and putting it into my mouth. I enjoy the refreshing water the squirts out. I told mommy to get a couple of shots with me drinking out of my cup. I want people to see how big I look.

Hello Again!

Just practicing my wave again on you. Hello (Are you waving back?)!

It's Been Awhile

Mommy says it's been awhile since I've done a pose like this. So we shot another one for all to see. Can you tell I'm growing up? My hair is turning into such long and luxurious locks. Well, except for all those sprouts that stick straight up in the back...but one day those too will be long and luxurious. You just wait.

Small and Mighty

So I haven't updated you lately on the Chub Olympics or my training. But I think these pictures say it all. I mean, this ball is no light weight! It's definitely A LOT heavier than my pink one you are most familiar with. But I can pick it up and raise it to my mouth! Hey, I have to taste test everything! My arms will no longer be called noodles after practicing moves like these! Watch out Chubs everywhere...Hannah Harman is no wimpy baby!

I Love This Thing!

I just love this moving ball. Aunt Ashley got it for me for Christmas. It's actually a toy that encourages you to crawl. Well, while I'm not ready to crawl yet, it still is a great toy for sitting up! It flashes all these colors and makes all these sounds and plays music. It rolls all around. What a clever little ball! Thanks Aunt Ash! Great idea!

Just Havin' Some Fun!

Mommy and I were being silly the other day! I put on (or should I say mom put on) my pink swim hat while I was playing. As you can see, (well unless you're color blind..and if you are...I am terribly sorry) the hat does not match my striped shirt. That's why it is just so silly! I mean, come on, who would intentionally match two patterns of two completely different colors together (unless again you are colorblind)?? So anyhoo....we got a good chuckle but then I was ready to get that hat off. It was cramping my style. And I started to get a little sleepy as you can see too. But we had a good time and a good laugh. That's what it's all about, isn't?

Well, Hello There!

Hey, wanna see my new trick? Well, you're looking straight at it! I can wave hello now! I have become quite good at it too. I can almost do it on demand every time! I love to do it because when I wave another person waves! Fancy that! So, hello to all my blog readers out there. Hello!

Just Enjoying the View

Ahh, what a relaxing day. This couch is so comfortable and provides a front row seat to the window that looks out back. Not to mention, it also provides a great view to the tv. So somedays mommy and I sit here and just chill in the midst of our hard day's work.

Just Call me Gumby!

Can you do this? I can and I love to do it. There's just something about being able to fold in half that is so exhilirating. I do it all the time now. The doctor says I shouldn't be able to do that but I can and I do. If I get a little tired of sitting up...well...I just fold over to take a short break and then, voila...I'm refueled and ready to go again. Just try it...it may just make your day!

Making Some Progress

While I was gone a couple of things have begun to slowly develop. . .such as this new stance. Now I can't get to this position on my own...mommy has to put me like this. BUT...I can hold myself here for a little bit. So I am slowly moving towards crawling. But I still think it will be awhile. What is the other development you may ask. Well...lo and behold...my two lower front teeth are starting to come in! It's very hard to see them so a camera wouldn't help here. But mommy finally noticed two tiny white spots (those are my teeth) poking through my gums. Can you believe it? Finally...those pearly whites are showing themselves! As soon as they are more pronounced I will get mommy to get a real good shot of 'um!

Meet My New Friend "Stip"

Hey, I made a new friend! She has a funny name. Mom calls her "Stip." I really like Stip. She came to stay with us for a couple of days and we had so much fun! I especially liked her long hair. I got so tickled. Mommy says I was a little show off when Stip came because I kept smiling and laughing. Well, what can I say...I like the attention. She has such a good smile so I can't help but smile back! Oh yeah...mommy said she is a doctor! Yikes! But no need to worry on my end. She's a doctor for puppies like Emmett. So Emmett, you better watch out...she may poke you with that needle. That's what my doctor does when I see him!

Goin to Grandma's (and Papa's) House

Hi Folks...we're back! After receiving a few complaints about no recent posts, mom and I got it together enough to post these new pictures. And I want to say thanks to all those who showed concern during my cold...I am doing so much better now and no longer have to sleep on that funny pillow! I fell off a couple of times...that was no fun! But last weekend mommy and I went to Birmingham to visit her good friend Bess. Of course we visited Grandma and Papa too! But we didn't take too many photos...just these with me and grandma. Are we a cute duo? I did have a good time there although I am still having a hard time letting anyone but mommy hold me. I just get a little nervous is all.

Under the Weather

Well, I have contracted a little cough. We think I may have gotten it from the pool on Sunday. I am not napping very well because of this pesky thing. So mommy called the doctor's office to make sure she didn't need to bring me in and if there was anything else she could do (I was hoping they would say...no more of the nose aspirator...but I don't think they did because she sucked out my nose some more..I mean good grief..if she sucks any harder she'll suck my brains out!). They did tell her to elevate me while I sleep. This was the best we could do. But it sure is comfy! I guess mommy has a long road ahead of her when it comes to caring for me and my ailments! Okay, off to sleep I go....I hope.

Jasmine Trias Wanna Be

A good friend of our's at church picked up this flower hair clip for me! Isn't it pretty? I thought it matched my colorful outfit pretty well too! Mommy calls me the Jasmine Trias wanna be. She said she was in American Idol at one point and ALWAYS wore a flower in her hair. Do any of you remember that? I sure wouldn't because I was non existant then. But we did all agree I looked pretty stylish. We went shopping with Grandmama yesterday so I had to look cute! Oh yeah, I gave you a side view as well...so you could get the full effect!

Pool Time

Daddy picked up this great turtle float for me. Isn't it grand? All I have to do is sit in it and mommy or daddy push me around. And it even has a neat shade on it to keep the sun out of my eyes. We all went to the pool the other night and had a blast. . .well other than the fact that I was really tired and I think I may have gotten sick (just a cough and runny nose)!

My First Hair Clip

So, do you like it? I finally have enough hair to sport this hair clip. I feel ever so stylish in this pink barrette. Thanks so much Grandma for these hair clips. I have one to match just about every outfit I own. It did feel good to keep my hair out of my face while mommy, daddy, and I went around town today to run some errands. I am just turning into such a big girl!

I'm in Here Mom!

Just so mom remembers where I am when she comes to wake me up, I like to stick my feet in the air. I can't pull myself up yet so this is the best I can do to remind mommy where I am. I think it works because she always finds me!

The Hannah Pose

So this is my trademark pose. I love to keep my wrists limp...almost like I am a little bird. People always seem to laugh at this pose so I thought...why not keep it up...I like making people laugh!
