Its My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To...

This weekend Hannah got invited to her first princess party! We got all dressed up and went to Adrianna's house with our cousins to celebrate Mia, Lisette, and Olivia's birthdays! We had so much fun, but there was so much going on and Hannah missed her nap...I think these pics explain what happens to the lil nut when she doesn't get her beauty sleep!










Over the last week or so, I have come to the decision that television might be an okay learning activity for Hannah to engage in...At first I felt really guilty, like having TV time was teaching Hannah a bad habit at such an early age...but I decided that it might be a good thing for her to experience for a short time on a regular basis and let me tell you, Baby Einstein is a life saver! For the last few months, every time Zach and I put Hannah in her play pen (baby jail) while we used the restroom or took a shower, it was torture for our lil girl. She would scream like we were pulling out her fingernails! One day, a ligtbulb went off in my head and I thought "Wouldn't it be the perfect time for Hannah to watch an educational video while I shower or vacuum?" It is! The video can only hold her attention for about thirty minutes, but that is all I need! She loves it! She laughs, she claps, and she mimics what they say! Personally, I think the videos are a little creepy, but they seem to be teaching her, so who am I to judge?





And finally, Hannah is sleeping through the night, going on two weeks now! It has been so refreshing for both Zach and I, and I for one feel much less irritable! Let's pray that this trend continues on forever now, but I don't have my fingers crossed...Hannah has had a fever for a couple of days and has been super cranky and I just have this feeling that its going to throw off our whole rhythm! Let's hope she starts feeling better, because there is nothing harder then having a sick baby...it breaks your heart! These are just a few more cute pics of the peanut...alot of them are of her walking, because she is a terror with two feet and I am so proud of how mobile she has become!
Love,

The Greatest Gift of All




Happy New Year friends! Starting today my new year's resolution (besides losing the last of my baby weight and going through my closet again) is to be more up to date on my Hannah blogging! I started out strong, but this last month was so hectic that I couldn't find the time to tell you about all our new adventures (i.e. Hannah's nine month appointment- she is little, but so advanced- Hannah's first steps- I am not kidding, our lil peanut is even more mobile- Our first holiday season -best Robinson family Christmas to date- and so much more mischief-yes, mischief, since Hannah is into EVERYTHING!) Anyway, I resolve to stay on top of it because I know first hand how exciting it is to see the peanut grow!

Here are some priceless pics of Hannah's first Christmas! I hope your holiday was as amazing as ours!

Love,
