Silly Faces

I like to make silly faces. In fact, I like to do them now with noises. I'm getting pretty good at making my lips rumble together...at least that's what it feels like they are doing! It's pretty funny. But, these pictures are nothing new, just me making more crazy faces. I like to do them cause they make mommy and daddy laugh. I guess I'm just a little comedian! Just wait til I can talk and actually tell you all my jokes I've been working on these last ten months! I've got a lot!

What a Pretty Day

Here I am in my photo shoot just enjoying the pretty day outside from my little perch. Well, at least it LOOKS pretty. It sure didn't FEEL pretty when mommy and I went out to run errands. I just hope I don't inherit mommy's tendancy to sweat easily! I could tell mommy wasn't having a fun time lugging me in and out of my carseat in 100 degree heat! But once we got into the buildings it wasn't so bad. I've never had to endure the August heat before. It's pretty rough! For all you hard workers out there who have to endure the heat everyday, like my daddy, I would tip my hat off to you if I had one on!

The Full Shot

Here's the full shot of my new dress from Mrs. Tanya. Don't you just love it?

Papa-Time

Well, Papa and Grandma headed this way last Tuesday. Papa had to work in Macon so he dropped Grandma off for a few days. He came back yesterday to pick Grandma back up. But before he left I got some Papa-Time. I wasn't my usual chipper self though. I have picked up another cold. So I started to get worn out and just decided to rest on Papa. He's real comfortable. We had a good time together for the little bit I got to see him. I hope next time Papa I will be feeling a little better and be more fun to be around. But thanks for letting me relax with you for a bit. I love you!

A Visit From Grandma

Guess who I got to see? Grandma! I hadn't seen Grandma since the beginning of June so it was so good to see her. She stayed with us a couple of days. We had such a great time. She played a lot with me. I even let her watch me while mommy went to get a haircut. For those of you who know me, that's a BIG deal! I'm quite leery of being left with anyone other than mommy or daddy. But I was a big girl and stayed with Grandma. She played with me in my jumper and we did more Patty Cake. I also showed her a lot of my toys. Thanks so much for staying with me Grandma. It was so much fun. I hope I get to see you again soon!

I Don't Know How I Feel About This!

Well, while Grandma was here she got me doing all sorts of stuff....like standing! Can you tell by my face I wasn't so sure about this? This is hard work guys! But I did get a good workout from it. These legs are getting stronger by the minute. Who knows what I will be doing next? Hey does anyone know if there's a World's Strongest Baby competition out there? If so, let me know...maybe I can try out.

Crazy Hair

Now, most of you probably know that I have some crazy hair. Yes, hair that likes to stick straight up to the sky. Well, this day was particularly bad. I mean, just look at it. What's a girl to do? Mommy finally wetted it to matte it down...but guess how long that lasted? Not very! I know some people pay fortunes to get their hair to stick up on top...but not this girl. This style is au natural. Do you know how many times mommy and I are stopped at the grocery store by someone who is making a comment about my hair. Just listen to what some have said:

"Wow, looks like someone just got up from a nap." To which mom replied, "No, she's been up for a few hours now."

or

"Looks like someone is having a bad hair day." To which mom replied, "Well, I guess every day is a bad hair day."

Now there are a few who find my look endearing saying, "Awww just look at her hair." Well, we take that as an endearing comment...I mean they could be saying that like they feel sorry for me. Who truly knows the motive of their heart.

Then there was one kind lady who understood both mine and mommy's predicament. You see, she too had a daughter with the sticky up hair syndrome and understood there was no real fix to it other than letting it continue to grow until it got so long that it flops over. We appreciate her empathy greatly. And for those babies out there with sticky up hair...stand tall and be proud of the hair God gave you. Because, yes, there are some people out there who would pay a fortune for this style. So just think of yourselves as blessed. That's what I do. And mommy and I like to call my style...."spunky."

The Pincher

I call this move "The Pincher" because I am using my pincher grasp to retrieve my Gerber Puff. Now folks, this has taken me quite some time to achieve. But now that I can do it, let me tell you, some pretty good stuff is going into my mouth. I told mommy to get a close up of this new skill I have developed so all can see. I think the picture may be a little blurry but I think you get the point.

And Now Into The Mouth

And after I get it successfully into my grasp...I head it straight for my mouth. Now, I'm not the BEST at releasing the puff into my mouth. That's still a little tricky. Probably 60% of the time it returns back out of my mouth with my hand....often stuck on my hand. But the other 40% of the time it stays in my mouth where I chew on it with my gums and two teeth. And then down the chute it goes (aka my esophagus...hey I may be a baby but I'm not stupid) and into my tummy.

Yummy, yummy!

At It Again

Even though I can get the Gerber Puffs into my mouth much more easily that doesn't mean I stop sharing with my good pal Emmett. He is such a good friend, how can I resist giving him a treat too? Good boy, Emmett. Good boy.

Hannah, Unplugged

Here are my more "candid" shots...hence the "unplugged" in my title. No special effects here, (well technically there is...the black and white effect...but ignore that), no forced poses, just me chilling out on the couch on a pretty typical day here on Lantana Drive. Am I cool or what?

I'm Bored

This is my bored face. Here I sit, all alone, with nothing too invigorating to do, while mommy snaps more pictures of me. I guess my "bored" face is endearing because she has taken several shots. Little does she know that I am pretty sick and tired of having my picture taken right now. Come on, mom. Put the camera down and get me some toys before I pass out from boredom!

A New Way to Get Crawling

So check this out. I learned a new way to try to get into the crawling stance...see? I mean, this is so much better than laying on my stomach FOREVER while mommy coaxes me to move! I found that this way suits me well. You see I just place my arms and hands like this, straddling one leg. Then I lean forward ever so carefully. If it's a good day, I will bend one leg back and then follow it with the other and voila! I'm on my stomach in a semi-crawling stance. Amazing! So here I am giving it a whirl.

Now, I'm Tired

Well, now I'm tired. That's all I've got for ya. Sorry folks...I just get so tuckered out! Maybe I'll have something for you next time. Until then....keep enjoying these shots and picture in your mind what I will look like one day as I scoot across the carpety terrain..oh and the hardwoody terrain.

Hmmm....Let Me Think About This

Mommy told me we were going to start to have some company during the week. . .not just any company...two BOYS!!!!!! So I told her I had to think about this....hence my pensive face here. Well, after I gave it some thought...I told mom it would be okay. After all, I may get a boyfriend out of it (just kidding!! I'm WAY too young to have a boyfriend!). We should have fun together...that is if they like DOLLS!

Me and Daddy

Well, here I am just chillin' with daddy. This chair is so comfortable! It seats us both so nicely! I like hangin' with dad. He makes me laugh and we always seem to have a great time! Here's to you dad!

And Who are YOU?

Well, as you see I have a new friend. Lately I have been noticing her when mommy gets me up from naptime or bedtime. She always sits so still on the bed in my room. Curious as to who she is, I have been reaching out to her, literally, and making sounds to ask her who she is. However, I get nothing. I've asked her her name, her favorite color, where she grew up, and how she got here. Still, nothing. So today mommy pulled her down for me and explained to me that this used to be her doll when she was little. Grandma and Papa brought it back for her when they went to Switzerland one time. Oh yeah, she got one for Aunt Melissa and Aunt Ashley too. And guess what, they picked them out based on their resemblance to mommy and my aunts. Anyways, here are some shots of our first "official" encounter. Overall, I think it went really well.

Your Hands Look Just Like Mine

Well, you seem to be okay...I mean your hands are just like mine. Well, except that they don't move really. Hmm. You may need my help around here. Good thing mommy is handing you over to me. I don't think she took GREAT care of you because I also notice cat vomit on your dress (yes folks, I said cat vomit. Mommy "forgot" to get a picture of her beautiful stained dress. She tells me their cat B.J spewed on her one day when she was a little girl. If you ask me, it boils down to neglect). Trust me pal, I won't let that happen to you (and it really helps that we don't own a cat...but I won't mention that to her).

We'll Get Along Just Fine

Hey there dollie! Give me a high five...you know why? Because I think we will get along just fine...the two of us. I'll show you all my tricks...I think I may have some that mommy didn't show you when she was little. And maybe one day I can aspire to have such beautiful hair like you. Okay? You stick by my side and we'll be just fine! If you need anything just holler, because, remember, I know where to find you!

I'm Ten Months Old Today!

Today, July 25, 2007, I, Hannah Harman, am 10 months old! So long single digits...hello double! Can you believe I am so close to a year old? And guess what I found out....I'm going to get one of those birthday parties! Won't that be fun? But not yet. No, I'm not quite there yet. Until then, we just celebrate in our hearts these monthly birthdays. So take a good look at me. This is my official ten month old shot. I've come a long way baby! (Oh yeah, check out my cool cherry suit! Grandmama got this for me! I just LOVE it! It fits perfectly! I think this is my THIRD cherry outfit! And they always come from my grandmas! I guess they really think I will like cherries! But from the looks of these outfits...I think I will! Thanks Grandmama!)

Feeding Time with Mommy

Here we are...me and mommy...just enjoying some grub. Well, mommy isn't really because she doesn't eat baby food...but I do! This was just a lazy Sunday afternoon. Nothing too exciting going on to write about. BUT...next Sunday I think I will have something to write about because I am getting to see Grandma and Papa and then we get to finally meet Savannah Groover and Esther Watkins! I think it will be a busy day...I'll be sure to get some pics!

Me and Dawn

So here is another picture from Mrs. Tanya's shower last Saturday. This is Mrs. Dawn...mommy's good buddy. I really like her! We went to eat at Pizza Hut with her and her husband, Mr. Zac. It was great! I sure hope we can hang out again soon. . .and I really can't wait to meet their little baby one day. Remember, I told you she is pregnant? I hope it's a girl! But of course I will be thrilled to have a boy buddy too!

A Baby Shower

So here we are at a baby shower mommy and her good friend Maureen threw for their good friend Tanya! It was a BLAST! These are all good friends of mommy's from college. Remember Anna? She came too! And of course her mommy Mrs. Liz and my other new buddy, Mrs. Sarah! Who else is here, you ask? Well, there's Marci, Tanya's good friend (she's pregnant), then of course there is Mrs. Tanya in the beautiful blue shirt (Eli is hiding in her tummy), then of course there's Mrs. Sarah, Mrs. Liz with Anna, Mrs. Shannon (she's pregnant too! Little Davis is hiding in her tummy. He should be coming out soon too), then there's Mrs. Dawn (and guess what? yup...you guessed it...she's pregnant too!), then there's Mrs. Rosie and of course me and mommy! What a group!! We had a blast! We played funny games and Mrs. Tanya got great gifts. Eli is really lucky! Congratulations Robertsons! We can't wait to meet Eli! You guys will be terrific parents!

New Places, New Faces

Well mommy and I had a little outing yesterday. We went up to Atlantic Station to meet with some of mommy's friends. And guess what? I made a new friend too! Here she is! Her name is Anna Brookshire. Oh and if you want to see more cute pictures of my new pal...just click on "The Brookshires" to the right and see what my friend Anna has been up to! Not only did I meet Anna but I met mommy's good friends from college, Sarah and Liz. She was right. They are super nice! Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of Mrs. Liz. She's Anna's mommy. That's Mrs. Sarah with the three of us! She's great! Next time though we have to get Mrs. Liz in the picture..she's great too! I just wonder why mommy didn't get us together sooner! And we met at a new place for me...Moe's! Who knew they were so friendly there! They say "Welcome to Moe's" every time someone comes in (but most of ya'll probably already knew that). Now, I think that's pretty nice. Don't you? Mommy says she and daddy really like to eat there. Can't wait til I can try me some Moe's! Although, I do recall some tex-mex going into mommy's tummy the day before I was born. A lot of people didn't think that was such a good idea! I didn't mind though! Overall we had a great time. I was just sad to go. I think Anna and I can be great friends!

Trend Setter

Look what happens when you can't do your own hair! Mommy thought she'd have a little fun with my growing locks by sticking them straight up. And to make matters worse she did it with a clip...not a trendy bow! Hmmm....I'm not so sure about it. But what was so embarassing was the fact that she had to do it while we had company over. I mean, come on! Ellie must have thought I was a total dork! Luckily she didn't say anything mean to me. She just was a good sport and played with me. And by the way, that's a sign of a true friend. But, maybe I can set a trend with babies around the world. What do you think? Yeah, I didn't think so either! Hope you can get a good laugh out of it though...mommy sure did!

And Some More Feet

I guess mommy has a foot fetish because here is yet another picture of FEET...MY FEET. So, what can I say that hasn't already been said about my feet? They're cute? I think that depends though on who you ask. I mean, I know a lot of people who don't like feet. Well, actually I've heard of a lot of people who don't like feet (my friends base is still quite small since I am so young). But mommy thinks they're cute and that's why I am forced yet again to make a post. So enjoy my feet...and be happy you can't smell um!
