What's Happening with the Hansen's: November 2008

Daddy - It's time to lower my crib again!

9 Months Old!

All bundled up and ready to go to the doctor last Friday. Her 9 month stats were - 17 lbs 8oz (25th%) and 27 1/2 inches tall(50th%).

First of all, I must apologize to those of you who have been checking the blog regularly for updates. One would think that working for the family business and staying home with Avery part-time would allow me more time to post updates, but unfortunately the blog has suffered from neglect over these last few months. Honestly, I think that a huge part of it was that I liked having the blog to look at while I was at work and away from her all day. So naturally, now that I am home with her there wasn't as big of a priority to keep it updated...or so I thought. In recent weeks, many of our faithful blog followers have voiced their concerns and I have promised to be more dedicated to keeping you all up to speed on What's Happening with the Hansen's.

So, I hope you have a few minutes...cuz there is a lot of catching up to do. :) Enjoy!

Got Milk?

Daddy let Avery have a sip of his milk at dinner the other night and she LOVED it! I couldn't help but snap a few pics of her with her little milk mustache.

She's growing on him...

A few months ago, Hank wouldn't even let Avery come within 6 ft of him. BUT THEN...he figured out that she has lots of yummy food...and she's an easy target to steal it from.

Learning to pet the puppy "nicely".

We're still practicing - "nice puppy"

Hank is such a good sport about it. You can tell he is starting to love her a little more with each day...or should I say with each dropped piece of food - haha! :)

Reading him her favorite book "You're My Little LoveBug"

Although, sometimes he does still hide out from her...in our closet. Silly dog!!!

Happy Halloween

Alex and I have never really been too big on celebrating Halloween and this year was especially low key for us b/c mommy was not feeling to good that day. No costume (just this cute pumkin outfit)...no candy...heck, we didn't even have a real pumpkin this year. And yes, we are very aware that this is probably the only year we will be able to get away with this kind of behavior.
