Splish-Splash.

Rain, Rain, Go AWAY.

After the third day of rain, Hannah was pretty sick of being stuck inside. So, I decided that it would be okay to let her try out her new rain boots...

As soon as she saw the flooded part of our yard, she heading directly for it and then stopped at the edge of the newly formed lake.

Tentatively, she waded past the edge, deeper into the "lake", testing the abilities of her new rain boots.

She had fun walking around and exploring the depths of her new, watery, play-place.

Refusing to join her in the "lake", Hannah tried her baby-babble to entice me. 

She even tried pointing at some far-away object... But, I wouldn't budge. I was happy with dry feet behind the camera lens.

So, I watched her splash around, taking picture after picture. She was having such a good time until...

... she lost her balance and fell. Right in the middle of this "lake" in our yard.

Finally, Hannah succeeded at forcing me get my feet wet as I rescued her from the tortures of a puddle that's just a little to deep for a one-year old girl.

Playing at the park with Daddy.

Hannah and Daddy had so much fun playing at the park together! They started on the slide...

Then, Daddy thought Hannah would like going on the swing so they tried that for a while...

Turns out, Hannah really wanted to swing WITH Daddy...

Playing at the park.

Now that the weather is finally nice again, I can take Hannah out to the park to play.

Here she is playing peek-a-boo and...

playing on a swing, her favorite thing to do!

Auntie Janice.

Although we have not had an official ceremony or anything, Auntie Janice is Hannah's Godmother. She is so good to her and they have such a good time together. Hannah is so lucky to have such a great Godmother. This is them together!

Sleeping with Daddy.

One night, when I came home from class, this was the sight that greeted me. It was so cute that even though I knew I would wake Hannah up, I had to take a picture!

Wearing Glasses.

This year, Daddy had to get a new pair of glasses. While we were at the store, Hannah had such a fun time running around and trying on as many pairs of glasses as we would let her. When he finally picked up his new glasses, he took the lenses out of his old ones and let Hannah play with them. She had such a fun time!

Making Holiday Cards.

This year I decided to make all of my own holiday cards. While making them, Hannah decided that she really wanted to help. So, I gave her some of her own stamped images to color.

Here is the product of some of her work. I loved them so much that I found myself unwilling to send them out to other people and instead decided to keep them for my scrapbook!

Playing in the Snow.

This was Hannah's first time going out to play in the snow this year. I just plopped her in the middle of the yard to see what she would do. At first, she was confused. 

Then, she started screaming! I assume because she realized it was cold.

Once she realized she could eat the snow, she seemed to be okay until...

Daddy finally came to rescue her with some beloved Dunkin' Donuts!
