| Cookie Monster and Elmo on Hannah's first Halloween! |
Hannah's first fall is flying by! We have been having a lot of fun and have been experiencing a lot of change over the past few weeks. Uncle Jim came for a visit from New Orleans and we made our second annual trip to the pumpkin patch outside of Olympia with Nona and Bompa Jeff. Our busy little girls love their Uncle Jim so much!

After much thought, I've made the decision to be a stay-at-home momma to Eileen, Margaret, and Hannah. We said goodbye to our amazing Maria and I let Pacific Northwest Ballet know that I would not be returning from my maternity leave. I will really miss many things about my time at PNB but I know I've made the best decision for our family. The deal was cinched when last week Leenie gave me a huge hug out of nowhere and said, "Momma, I am so happy that you are going to stay home and play all day. I love you." My heart simply melted.
Hannah had her two month appointment with Dr. Sheridan on October 29. She is a strong, healthy girl at 13lbs 7oz (87th percentile) and 23.5 inches long (86th percentile). She is incredibly easy going and happy. She is smiling up a storm and still chatting away. Hannah likes to mimic me when I say "good girl" and even "love you". Today she was copying my sing-song voice. She is too cute and such a good baby. She even slept through the night for the first time last night. Not bad for a little over two months old!
Here are some of our favorite pictures from the past few weeks...
