Our painting of our 1st family picture is complete! My mommy and daddy chose an impressionism style. The artist just sent my mommy and daddy these pictures for approval! I love it! Thanks for helping choose such a beautiful picture!

After much research, my mommy and daddy chose http://www.passionforpaintings.com/ to perform the job of creating this beautiful, very important piece of art.

Happy 18 Months Old to Me!!!!! Now Complete!

I am now finished with MY Top 18 Changes at 18 months!!!

Yeah! I am finally 18 months old!!! Don't people start voting at this age??? I definitely lived a simplier life way back in '07 .... Their was no spinach, time outs, more sleep, less questioning, less boo boos. Those were the days!!

But, I most certainly enjoy these days better... the days of maturity and asserting my independence. To celebrate my special landmark birthday, I decided to take a minute and reflect on how much I have matured since my younger days...

How I have Grown and Changed through my 547 days...

Somethings will never change no matter how old I become.

Hannah Live...Just Sounding Cute!

Everynow and then, I have to get Mommy and Daddy to record me because some of the things I say sound so cute. I know that one day I might be too modest to speak so freely. So they have to capture it while they can. Plus Mommy and Daddy want to remember my 18 month oh-so-cute voice.

My 1st Look at the Zoo!

I am so lucky. Today my mommy and my neighborhood friends went to the Austin Zoo. It was so much fun! I saw lions, turtles, bears, monkies, sheep and even peacocks!

I really enjoyed getting to see all these animals up close as you can tell below!!!

1,2, 3 babies... check

1,2,3, carseats... check

buckled... check

Let's hit the road... What's taking so long Mommy? We are only spending a few hours at the zoo?

I really enjoyed looking at the goats!
(hmmm... this trashcan sure does look interesting!)

The dear were epecially fun to look at up close.
(hmmm.....I wonder if I can get that rock under that tree???)


The really big turtle was my absolute favorite to get a chance to see... What an opportunity!
(It is such a beautiful day to notice the dust particles floating in the air)



I even enjoyed looking at the camera so mommy would get some great pictures of my 1st time at the zoo!

(hmmm... Those spaces between the bench boards look like a perfect place to try to stick my hand!)

But nothing beats getting to see mommy's sunglasses she wears everyday.
and
Nothing beats your 1st time at the zoo!

A Family of Turkeys!

Since I love telling eveybody that the turkey says, "Gobble Gobble,"

This past Friday, mommy knew just what to do......

Make Turkeys!!!

I loved making a turkey with all the different colors, tracing my hand, and coloring, coloring, and coloring. I watched mommy make a mommy turkey, I made a Hannah turkey. So when daddy got home, it was time...

for daddy to make a daddy turkey!

Here is our family of turkeys. What a nice looking family if you ask me!!

Gobble Gobble!!
