Hannah meets her cousins!

Hannah's ready to go outside!

Hannah is 4 weeks old! Wow! This weekend her Aunt Autumn, Uncle Chad, and cousins Ellie and Parker came to visit! This was so much fun! It was even more fun to have them stay with us! Hannah loved meeting her cousins. Ellie who is four and a half loved Hannah and was such a big help. She held her and fed her several times. She even asked if she could stay 58 days with us and her cousin Hannah! Her mom and dad thought it would be a better idea if she came back in the summer and stayed a week. We wouldn't want her to miss school or ballet :) Parker who is nearly 9 months old gave me and Stuart a pre-view of what we can expect in a few months! He is crawling and pulling himself up on everything! He can open up cabinets and pull our night-lights out of the outlets! Our house is not quite babyproof yet! (I did get outlet covers and cover them before he came!) Having a mobile one is a lot of work! I think it is hard having a baby now, and mine sleeps at least 16 hours a day! He is really cute and although we saw him a month ago at Christmas he seemed so big to us! However, I should report that Hannah has more hair than he does. We really had a great time with Autumn and Chad, I hope they weren't too bored since I can't go anywhere. I have a whole new appreciation for them now that I am a parent. They also brought with them a whole bunch of play things including and excer-saucer, a swing, a bumbo, and a bouncer. This is really nice because I can bring them to my mom's house so she will have all of those things there for when she keeps Hannah.

I think I had the best weekend of anyone because I was able to interact with people! Having only been outside the house a handful of times, having Autumn and Chad around was especially fun for me. Friday night Stuart grilled steaks on outside (they were fabulous!) and I made a strawberry salad and sopapilla cheesecake that I had gotten the recipe from a friend who had brought us dinner after I had Hannah. Everything was great. Parker was able to use Hannah's highchair and impressed us with the way he eats bananas! (Messy! :) Another thing we have to look forward too!). Saturday Stuart and the rest of the family went to Cracker Barrel with Mimi and Pops and Saturday night Mimi and Pops brought over Shoguns! This morning we went over to Mimi and Pops' house and Pops made us a great breakfast (his specialty!) It was really warm out today (in the 70's) so I was happy to get Hannah out of the house for a while. She slept the whole time in her carseat, but it was nice. This afternoon we went over to see our friend Casey's new house and brought Hannah along. We are so impressed with Casey's handyman abilities and what he has done to his house! Hannah did great and I even fed her a bottle while I was over there. The weather should be nice this week and I am thinking about taking Hannah on her first walk! I will let you know :)
