Busy Girl- 8 months

Hannah is now 8 months old! And it's definitely time to clear off bottom shelves, cover outlets, and lock bottom cabinets--she's on the move! She's crawling like crazy and pulling up on everything in sight. This is such a fun age!

I could just EAT those cheeks!!

pouty lips are her new thing

loves being tickled!

loves her "big brother" Bailey...he's not too into her, though!

Okay, the school teacher is coming out in me a little here. I really love it when Hannah "makes" things. We've been to Mad Platter a few times, but then I got this idea and it's a lot cheaper and we can do it at home. All of the materials were pretty cheap and are available at Hobby Lobby.

Halloween Fun

The Friday before Halloween Hannah and some of her friends got to go to Harmon's Tree Farm in Lexington to go on a hayride and see other fun stuff. It was a fun little experience for both of us. I hope to make it an annual tradition :)

Halloween night we took Hannah (aka our little "Hunny Bunny") to

both of her grandparents' houses to "trick or treat" for baby food.

Family & Fall

I loooove Fall!! The weather is nice, holidays are just around the corner, and it's a great time for getting together with family. We had a great time visiting with family this past weekend. We hope to do it again real soon!

Old Friends & Twins

It was so special to get together with some of my oldest and best friends from high school. I still can't believe that it's been 10 years since we graduated! It's funny how sometimes life gets so busy that we may not speak for awhile, but as soon as we get together it's like old times again...except now with a bunch of babies!

Our Little Gamecock

With a family full of Gamecocks, she doesn't have much of a chance!

Too much excitement!

She actually said "Go Cocks!" while we were watching the game.

(Just kidding...but maybe one day...)

6 months and counting...

Hannah has been doing so many new things! Recently she has been eating solid foods, sitting on her own, pulling up (with help), getting ready to crawl, "clapping" her hands together, saying "Mama", AND she has two new teeth!! Unfortunately, I can never seem to grab a camera at the appropriate time. But here are some pics that I was able to get.

Hannah LOVES her exersaucer!! (Thanks Price & Owen for sharing!)
