Hannah can dress herself

The other day Hannah wanted to pick out her own outfit and put it on all by herself. This is what she came up with. She was quiet proud of her ensemble.

Titus Loves Hannah

Titus loves when Hannah plays with him. He always laughs when he dances and jumps in front of him. I tried to get some video. I got a little so you can get the idea but it is usually 10 times better. Sorry the video is sideways. I haven't found a way to correct it yet.

Enjoy!!

Titus is 6 months old

Last Saturday, Titus turned 6 months old. At his 6 month appointment he was 19 lbs 4 oz and 27 inches long. Here are a few recent pictures of him. Enjoy!!

I LOVE this photo of him smiling. I also love how his hair is coming in so nice and dark (yeah for a brunette).

Titus loves his Jumpin' Johnny. He likes to be able to stand on his own.

Canning Tangerines

At my office we often have guys coming around selling produce and peanuts (its a Florida thing) from the back of their pickups. There are two guys that come by regularly to sell whatever produce is in season and boiled peanuts. Last Thursday one of the men was selling tangerines and strawberries. I bought a big bag of tangerines off the man to can.

We spent two days peeling and segmenting the tangerines. Our hands were orange, but they smelled good. Hannah even helped. She was quite good at peeling the oranges.

Finally we had a large bowl of segmented oranges. We then canned them in a light syrup using a website off pickyourown.org.

(this picture is only about half of the oranges peeled)

AND...... this is out final product. 18 pints of beautiful organic tangerines to enjoy over the next year.

This is a video of Hannah peeling the oranges. She was very vocal until I turned the camera on. But, i was able to get a little bit. Enjoy!

Hannah Loves Her Jesus Book

Hannah got a bible from her Wednesday night church class. She loves this bible and she calls it her "Jesus book." It has ~20 short stories from the bible that are written really well for kids to understand. Each story also has a picture that flips to reveal the progression of the story (i.e. a picture of a big fish, pull down tab, Jonah is in the mouth).

Every night Hannah asked to read her Jesus book. Aaron and I will read her a couple stories from the book as her bedtime story. Then Hannah carries the book into bed with her and will lay in bed and read for 2-5 minutes, until we come and turn off the light.

I love that Hannah loves reading and Jesus. She remembers the stories of each picture and will talk about them while laying in bed. Hopefully these passions will stay with her always.

I LOVE FEET!!

Titus loves to chew on his feet. I am still amazed that he can get his entire foot into his mouth. Here are a few photos of Titus chewing on his feet.

Orlando Science Center

Last weekend, we spent a couple days in Orlando. I had a conference and we decided to go a day early to get in a family mini-vacation. We went to the Orlando Science Center and had a great time. I was only able to get a few videos and pictures before my camera battery died. Here they are.

Hannah riding the frog prince. ( Hannah was terrified of all the small frogs and this was the only thing that semi interested her in the exhibit) Hannah being cooked in a cauldron by Daddy????? Daddy, no boiling Hannah. Bad Daddy.

Hannah flying an airplane

Hannah loves dinosaurs. So, we assumed Hannah would love the dinosaur exhibit. Right??? Wrong. She was terrified. I don't think she ever realized how big they were. But, we were able to get a picture of Hannah and Aaron in a dinosaur nest. In this photo, Hannah is not smiling while staring at a 20 foot tall t-rex just out of the picture.

Hannah not phased by an earthquake.
