Baby Tour, Part II

This last week as I took pictures in Central Park, Minna was in Seattle taking pictures of Hannah and friends. They were gone for a week.

Here is a picture of Hannah and her cousins, Morgan and Jackson


This is Hannah with friends Lily and Taylor Altom


Hannah with Grandma Beard


They had a good time without me while I stayed home to hold down the fort. I'm glad they're back.

Baby Tour, Part I

Hannah and I were able to visit the west coast last week. It was her first time traveling, and she was an angel on the plane. We flew into Oakland to see Uncle Joel and Aunt Leighann. The next day was beautiful so we drove to San Francisco.

Uncle Joel and Aunt Leighann

Then, it was on to Sacramento to see Jeromy, Carrie, Cody, David and Noelle . Hannah hung out with her youngest cousins, Noelle (middle) and Beckam (right, second cousin). Hannah sensed a foul odor in the air. She didn't know who it was coming from, but she did not like it!

Here is Hannah and Noelle after their first meeting. They seem to like each other.

Dan's cousins, Micah and Cheryl were also there with their boys Jaden and, the aforementioned, Beckam.
This is worth noting- Wednesday night Dan flew into Sacramento to surprise me and Hannah. He only stayed for 24 hours but it was fun! He must have missed his little girl.
As Dan was flying back to New York, his mom, Hannah and I were driving to Reno. There we spent time with Grandma Gracie and Grandad.


Next, it was Salt Lake City's turn to gaze upon our precious babe. We saw Aunt Sharalee (great with child), Uncle Ben, Cousin Wiley, Uncle Shane, Aunt Kerianne, Uncle Caleb, Aunt Carolina, Great Grandma Hirst, Great Uncle Jerry, Great Aunt Anu, (my) Cousin Anna and her two girls Anika and Kaarina. If you're counting, that's 26 relatives and 3 states in all. A successful and amazing week! We'll rest up before our trip to Seattle next week.

"I am so cute!"

Say Cheese!

Hannah is starting to smile on demand now. She has these great, happy moments during the day, and we just stop everything to play along. We love how her face lights up with every grin.

Hannah, The Movie (video)

Hannah stars in her own movie in her first month. watch the movie

Minna and I watched this movie many times adoring our daughter when suddenly we realized... "why are we watching this when we can look at her anytime we want?"

but you relatives on the west coast who don't come to visit HAVE to watch this movie to see her.
