Tennessee & Florida

Hannah and Kristi returned from a trip south last week. It was a blast. We spent time with both friends and family.

Hannah & Cousin Tanner in the bath!

Hannah & Abby playing with fish!

While in Tennessee we stayed with David, Jenn, Abby & Sydney.
It was a lot of fun.

Hannah started walking while in Tennessee. One day she just stood up and took off. She was having a hard time keeping up with her friend Abby, who now runs everywhere. So she decided it was time for her to start walking.

While in Tennessee we visited a pumpkin patch farm...

We went to the zoo...

We did some shopping...

We played at playgrounds...

We mostly just played all day long...

Then Hannah & Kristi took at 7.5 hour drive to Florida to visit Jeremy's parents. The drive was really good. No crying at all!! Hannah slept most of the trip and other times we sang songs, played peek-a-boo and she watched videos. It was a lot of fun.

In Florida Kristi went fishing (fish pictured above)

Hannah played with her cousins.

Got beat up by her cousin Tanner...

Played dolls with her cousin Delainey...

Laughed at her cousin Cody. Here with his fish...

We are glad to be home but we do miss our friends & family along with the sunshine! It has rained every single day since we got home :(

Hannah's Birthday Cupcake

She wasn't quite sure what to

do with the cupcake.
Dad helped her out! That was

all the encouragement she needed!

Hannah Turns One Year Old

On October 6th our little baby became a toddler. It is so weird to think she is already one! It sure does fly by.

Here are some pictures from her birthday party. It was a costume party with an animal theme. Hannah was a lobster! Talk about cute! Sierra the shy cat!Juliette the mischievous tiger!
Maya the giant giraffe
Sophie the silly monkey
Rachael the friendly frogMeadow the panting dogLindsey the ballerina

(someone had to tame all the wild animals)
All the kids, sorta!

I have some more pictures and a video but I will post those later!

Talking Hannah

Here is a video of Hannah saying a few words & sounds! She has quite an extensive vocabulary for being 11 months. haha

So far Hannah says; mama, dada, dog, cat, cracker, duck, sock, meow, quack quack and a few more that aren't as clear.

Just this week she started do say "Dat?" as in what's that. It is cute, she will point at something and say "Dat?" Then point at something else and say "Dat?" I am sure by next week it won't be as cute hehe.

Hysterical Hannah & Her Dog

Hannah was playing fetch with Shylo the other day. This is pretty funny!

Play Date with Cookes

About a month ago Hannah & I went to visit the Cookes. Since it was so nice we decided to play on their lovely lawn! The kids had a blast and Hannah & Brennen had a long talk about where their relationship is going.
Brennen is still learning how to be a gentelman. He did open the door for Hannah, but as she was going through he slammed her head in the door. hehe

Hurricane Hannah Reeks Havoc on Alaskan Home

Hurricane Hannah strikes again!

Hurricane Hannah Hits Alaskan Home

Hurricane Hannah hit this small Alaskan home on the island of Ketchikan. She hit with determination and speed. She left behind quite a mess but casualties were minimal.

Piano Player

Hannah LOVES to play her piano! This is how she plays it most days...

But the other day I caught her playing the piano like this!!!!!

Deer Season is Here!

Jeremy and my step-dad Ken hiked to the top of a mountain last week to go deer hunting! They were blessed with 4 deer. Almost more than they could pack out in several trips!

Taking a break! They hiked a couple miles up a logging road!
Then they killed stuff!
Then they cleaned their kills!
I put this one up especially for my friends Jenn & Helen because I know they will love it!! hehe


They were truly blessed!

The week they went hunting was the nicest we've had ALL summer! It was sunny, clear and hot every single day!

Hannah's 3rd Camping Trip

We decided to go camping rain or shine and the good Lord blessed us with an amazingly sunny and warm day! The nicest day all summer!

We went down to the white sandy beaches (our secret camping/halibut spot) and had a blast. The halibut fishing wasn't great but we did manage to catch 3 (I caught two and Jeremy landed one- imagine that!)Hannah had a blast crawling around in our new screen tent!

This thing is awesome! Not great on a rainy day but perfect for a sunny buggy day! I felt like I was in a tropical paradise!

Jeremy had a blast snorkeling around! Hot huh??

Hannah had a blast playing in the pool daddy made for her!! I love the progression of these pictures! She is so animated!

That was a BLAST!!!

Jeremy forgot an oar, it just wouldn't be a trip for the Baum's if we didn't forget something. However, my genius husband discovered a new multi-purpose tool for the boat. Scrub brush/oar combo. I think he is on to something!!!

Miss Busy Body!!

Somebody help!!! She is in to EVERYTHING!!!!!

Hannah is crawling!

My camera died just as she reached me... :( I will get some better video later today!
