Hannah Laughing

One of the many times that I was changing Hannah I decided to play a little game.  It seems like whenever I change her I try to have as fun as I can.  I would at times play peek-a-boo, or tickle her or just try and make her laugh.  We have fun at changing time.  Well this time around I thought about how she would react to bonking me on the head.  (She always kicks when she is laying down, I just decided to put my head there)  So I place my head right where her feet land and voila, she is laughing.  She thought that was so funny.  She was laughing so hard there were tears coming down.  At one point in the video she takes a breath cause she can't breathe.  We did this for about 5 min or so.  It was by far, the funniest thing I had seen.  Enjoy!

It's a Girl!!

On August 19th we went in for our 20 week ultrasound appointment.  We had been wondering if we would find out what the sex will be.  I think we were just too excited this time that we had to find out.  It was fun the first time not knowing.  Going in to the ultrasound we had no idea as what we thought it would be.  There was no feelings saying one way or the other.  We also had no preference either.  Well as the ultra sound went on and it came to the point where we could see I knew right away that it was another girl.  Mostly cause I didn't see a third leg.  We are excited that it will be another girl.  We hope that the two girls will grow up being best friends and playing together lots.  I hope that they are both like their mom.  So here are the pictures that were taken.  Some are pretty obvious and others aren't, so I will explain.  

This one is her profile.  

This one would be her cute little foot.

This one is her hand.  She was actually giving us a thumbs up but you can't tell in the picture.

And here is her Female parts.  Apparently her umbilical cord got in the way and made it a little difficult to see.

So we haven't decided on a name yet so suggestions are welcome.  We have thought of Abby and Jenna.  What do you think?

Dancing with Dad

So this video took place a while ago, but I thought it would be fun for all to see.  I love playing with Hannah.  I look at this and I picture myself going to Daddy - Daughter Dances and embarrassing her with my awesome dance moves.  She will laugh at me and then we will talk about it forever.  And then having the first dance with her on the day of her wedding.  It is such an honor to be a parent and a blessing to have Hannah as a daughter.

Ladies

Many, many moons ago Farmar and Farfar were in town and Farfar introduced Ladies go prancidy to Hannah for the first time.  It was not well received.  We have continued to show her that it is the one thing that she will always want to do when Farfar comes around.  It was actually a funny thing to see.  As soon as the rowdies would start she would start to cry and then stop as soon as he stopped.  She loves to do it now.  She shakes her arms telling me to go again.  It is lots of fun.  It will be different the next time around.

Riding the Bull

What a priceless moment.  You may be able to see that I am totally laughing while she is bobbing her head.  I just couldn't help not catching this on video.  She is so precious and like any other kid she doesn't want to just go to sleep.  She has to fight it.  Sometimes there is just no way that you can overcome sleep.  

Friends Playing

We were asked to babysit on of our friends kids one day.  We don't mind doing this, or I should say Sabrina doesn't mind since I am at work and am not home to help.  The kids love to play together and as Hannah gets bigger the more fun they have.  Belle is such a good helper too.  It is nice to be able to let the kids play together and not have to worry about them for a bit.  This time around Sabrina heard some laughing going on and this is what she found.  Two girls playing together.  What a fun experience.

Pictures

So I also have a website that I upload pictures to all the time.  I have decided that for each month I will create a new gallery of pictures that are taken during that time.  I started doing that last month and have a number of pictures there.  If you are not aware of the website it is gallery.me.com/jacoblee.  Or you can get to it by going to www.jacobjlee.com.

Indian Yell

Just another new thing that Hannah has learned.  She finds it fun to clap her hands and now make noises with her mouth.  It's fun how every morning when Hannah awakes we go and pick her up and she starts to clap.  It is so cute.  I love her smiles.  How can anyone ever get mad when a kid smiles like this. 

 

Climbing

So yesterday, Sunday the 3rd of August, I was downstairs watching Hannah and she decided that she wanted to go over to the stairs.  I watched her and next thing I knew she had climbed up the first stair.  Now let's go back a day.  Sabrina thought it would be fun to show Hannah how to lift her leg and get up the stairs.  She must have thought it was fun and wanted to try on her own.  Well I got up and went over to Hannah as she continued to climb the stairs.  Dang kids learn fast.  So I just let her keep climbing (standing behind her to be there in case she took a tumble.  Well as you can see she made it all the way to the top, with a little slip towards the top.  Good thing I was there cause she would have fallen all the way back down.  Little did she know how close she was to getting hurt bad.  It's amazing how fast they grow and how fast they learn.  I love to see her grow.  

Hannah is proudly showing off her teeth.  She now has seven pearly whites, three on the top and four on the bottom.

I have a couple of videos that I tried to download, but technical difficulties resulted, so I will keep trying.  

After

These are the after pictures.  My dad and Jacob did all of the hard work.  I just ran the errands and brought drinks and helped with the clean up.  The second attempt at finishing went much smoother, and the results look great.

Before

These pictures are of our house in Monroe after the stucco, and before we got the trim painted.  We went down over the 4th of July and scraped the peeling paint and primed.  It was a big two day project, and at the end the north end of the house (shown above) was completely done, but the south end and the front were just primed.  The primer was really thick and didn't flow through the sprayer very well, and there were warped boards and other obstacles to paint around.  Even with the primer it looked better, but two weekends later we returned to finish the front and south end.
