Hannah is 6 months!

We celebrated Hannah's 1/2 birthday last week (and by celebrated, I mean took her to the doctor ;). We can't believe she's been here for half a year and yet it's hard to remember life without her! She is our happy, smiley girl and we thank the Lord for His blessing to us in her.  At the doctor last week she weighed 17 pounds even and measured 25 1/2 inches long. We started solid foods last week, and she's going to town... I think sweet potatoes have been her favorite so far (just like her sister). Also, like Abby, she's a take-charge kind of eater, grabbing the spoon and putting it to her mouth herself. This also means she's a MESSY eater! She adores her big sister who can usually get her to laugh, and wants to move, although she hasn't quite started crawling yet. She's still waking up 1-2 times a night and taking 3 naps, but she's a decent sleeper and I'm definitely not as sleep deprived as we were with Abby.

My sister-in-law Tara did a little photo shoot of her last week. Here are a few of my favorites...

This is our happy baby girl who smiles with her mouth wide open! Happy 6 months in this world, Hannah. You have already touched the lives of others with your joy. We pray that God continues to use your contagious smile to spread His love throughout your life!
