One Month with HannahKate

We have been with our precious daughter for one month now and her favorite person is still her big brother, Jonathan. Here is a list of some of the things that Jonathan does for his sister:

*Jonathan is the only person who got HannahKate to stop crying during bath time. He could not take her crying anymore so he came upstairs and started singing to her in the bath his own little song that he made up. And you know something, it worked! HannahKate loved his singing and now loves her baths.

*It is so sweet to see Jonathan picking up a book and start reading to his sister. HannahKate is not used to having books read to her, but she is slowly starting to enjoy them.

*How amazing is it to see Jonathan choose to play with his sister for an hour, not with boy toys but with her toys. Have you ever seen a big brother enjoy a tea set so much?

With all of the sweet things Jonathan does for his sister, he still prefers his time alone with mommy and daddy. It is a lot of work to bring us around to a family of four, but it is so much fun with all the memories we enjoy making together.

Overall, HannahKate is a happy baby who never says no to food. If you ever wonder why half her pictures are in the highchair, well, that is where she is half the time. Her favorite toy to play with is her kitchen set munching on all the pretend food. If you look at her belly, she is not lacking in the food department, but our reasoning is that maybe she is enjoying the food that we give her a little too much. Her favorite foods right now are oatmeal, yogurts, fruit (especially strawberries and bananas), cherrios, and her soy milk.

Our posting will become more frequent now that we have settled in, so keep looking for the updates on our crazy family. Love to All!!!
