Do a little Dance

I just can't get over how cute my little lady is! She makes me laugh more and more each day. She has quite the personality! Her new "discovery" has been this bouncy spaceship that Auntie Jessi let us borrow and oh my goodness has it been a hit with the little lady! She eyes this thing down when we pass by it and stares at it till we put her in it. She gets so excited and so hyper when we put her in it. If we're not in front of her she'll look for us, "do a little dance" then look back at us for approval. It makes me laugh! She's just the funnest thing there is!

A funny story about the little lady: I'm in Young Women's so I get to go to mutual on Tuesdays. The little lady has a hard time with this and totally knows that I have to leave because she starts acting out. It was about 5pm and I was trying to put her down for her quick evening snooze. After about 40 minutes of her arching her back, screaming at me, and many wet diapers I gave up and let her miss her nap. 7 o'clock came around and as I was leaving for mutual she started yelping and looking for me. I left her with Daddy and about 45 minutes later I get this text that says "so... she's pretty fussy and I don't know what to do to help her. She might be hungry" and I text back "we're almost done, can you hold off maybe 15 minutes?" 5 minutes later "she's crying pretty hard now" so I went home to rescue daddy and help the little lady. As soon as I get into the door she gets this big ol' smile on her face and starts giggling! She puts her arms out for me to pick her up so I do. When daddy comes by us, I ask her "do you wanna go see daddy?" and daddy put his arms out. She immediately turned her head and grunted/groaned/screamed! We tried it again and she got mad! She did the same thing and held on to my neck. It was so funny and so cute! We couldn't help but laugh. She's a feisty little thing and I have no idea where she gets it from ;)

I sure love our little lady. She cracks me up every day and makes me want to be a better person. She'll be 5 months on Sunday and I can't believe how fast time flies. I look at pictures of her when she was first born and I miss my little 8.11 lb baby. She's now almost 20 lbs, 26+ inches long, has two teeth, and continues to grow and grow. I sometimes stare at her when she sleeps and wonder how in the world I got so dang lucky. I love you little lady!

Hannah Roles Over!!!

I am one proud mama!!! My little 4 1/2 month old little lady has officially rolled over!!! I can't believe it!

Little Miss Chatter Box

It's official! The little lady has started "talking" and boy oh boy does she have a voice!! From the minute her eyes open in the morning to the minute she goes does for a nap or to bed she's just jabbering along. It's amazing that only one week has passed and I feel like her "vocabulary" has doubled! She isn't really saying words but she is definitely trying to talk. She is constantly trying to form some sort of word and sound. It blows me away! Sean came home from work the other day and asked what she was doing because she was so loud. I just said " oh she's talking to you! She starting doing that now." He was blown away. Now he thinks it's the funniest thing ever. I also think she's cutting another tooth too. But boy oh boy is she cute! I took this picture of her sitting in her little chair the uncle Jaspur and auntie Angie got her and she looks so old! She can sit really well propped up now. I was concerned about her not having any interest of rolling over but her pediatrician said it was very normal and that she probably wouldn't roll over till 6 months or may skip it all together because of her little chubby body hehe :) I just giggled.

Another "joy" we've learned is that it's sort of a joke to go to church with Hannah now. She gets distracted over every little thing now and its a joke to try and nurse her in the mother's lounge. She's so loud too! Sitting in sacrament meeting is atrocious. She jabbers on and on and it's embarrassing to have so many people look back at the loud baby! I walk with her up and down the halls but that's a joke too. She screams and screams so finally we give in and bring her home after sacrament. The moment we set foot in the house she acts famished, nurses, then falls asleep. This little one already has us trained!!  I sure love our little lady though. She's just growing up too fast.

I'm obsessed with this picture right now. When I put her in her chair she acts so grown up by propping up her arm and jabbers along. My little lady is so big!

Our Little Hannah is 4 months old!

Our Little Hannah is now 4 months old! She's growing so fast! A few things she loves to do now:

She loves to talk and jabber on, she sucks on her bottom lip all the time, her hair has started growing in, she smiles so much and giggles all the time, she starting to sit up on her elbows for tummy time, and she has her first tooth!! I can't believe it! It blows me away how much she's grown! She had her 4 month check up and her stats are as follows; height: 25 inches, weight: 17.9 lbs, and head 165. in. She's in the 97th percentile and is now wearing her 9 months clothes! She also LOVES bath time and her daddy :) Whenever Sean comes home she just squeals with delight! It melts my heart :) She's getting quite the personality too. She knows what she wants when she wants it and if she doesn't get it she is not happy! (I wonder where she gets it hehe ;) )Here are a few pictures. Enjoy!

Bottom lip lovin'

Happy Baby!

It's About Time!

Hello!
It's been quite the few weeks if I do say so myself. Merry belated Christmas and New Year! Christmas Break was sort of a joke for the Bowman Bunch. We decided to go to Mexico and visit my family this year for Christmas. My SUV unfortunately had other plans. There were a few things that needed to be fixed on the car before we made our long trek with a 3 month old down to good ol' Mexico. When we finally got our car squared away, we packed it up, gave Hannah an "early bath" to coax her into going to bed earlier since we decided to drive through the night, stopped off at Sean's parents to say adios and Merry Christmas and off we went. The weather was supposed to be quite cold and we were worried about icy roads so we decided to go through Beaver/Phoenix instead of Price Canyon to avoid cold icy roads. We left about 7:30. About 9:45 we stopped off in Beaver to go to the bathroom, top off with gas, get some food, and onward we went. No more than 5 minutes later our car started hissing and huffing and puffing. We got this really bad feeling and decided to drive slow with our hazard lights on to the nearest hotel. When we got there (no more than 5 minutes later) Sean popped the hood and our car was on fire! There were flames a huge chunk of our car missing. Sean got it under control and said to sit tight. He went to get us a hotel room and said to hurry about jump out of the car if the car started hissing or smoking again. We finally got into a hotel room (all the while Hannah was sound asleep since 6:45pm. It was now almost midnight and Hannah was wide awake once we got into the hotel room. She was hysterical and cried most of the night. Needless to say we were all exhausted once Mom and Dad Bowman came and got us the next morning.

We finally got home about 1pm the next day and Sean and Papa Bowman spent the day fixing the car, getting it to the auto shop etc. I was on the phone with Mom and Dad Call trying to figure out how were were going to get to Mexico and if it was even possible. We finally decided to fly into Phoenix, have Evan(my bro) pick us up, and follow him down in his other car to Mexico. We finally made it to Mexico Saturday night! It was great to see everyone! Sunday was fun. We went to church with my family, had a great dinner, hung out with family and just enjoyed the time. Sunday night was a joy. I woke up around 3, asking Sean to watch Hannah cause I thought I needed to throw up and low and behold I did. I apparently had food poisoning or stomach flu. I was throwing up all Christmas Eve but luckily I had half of a nausea pill (what I had to take when I was pregnant) in my purse. I took that and that helped a TON! Needless to say Poor Sean had to take care of not only Hannah but me as well. He's pretty dang amazing. I don't know what I would have done without him. Heavenly father has blessed me with such an amazing man. I don't know what I did to deserve Sean but I thank Heavenly Father every day for him!

Christmas was great! Chase and Jessica made it down Christmas Eve and left the day after Christmas. On Christmas day we had a wonderful Turkey dinner with family.

The next day we finally got to eat all the yummy food Mexico has to offer. We went up and saw the Temple down there and relaxed. Thursday we headed back to Utah. We drove to Phoenix, then caught a plan to Salt Lake that night. Poor Hannah DID NOT like the flight. she wouldn't eat, sleep, or calm down. She was screaming the whole time. I felt so bad for her and didn't know what to do to help her. The poor people on the plane were probably so annoyed but honestly, I didn't care. My poor Hannah was more important. Mom and Papa Bowman picked us up at the airport at midnight and finally we made it home. Hannah finally fell asleep and slept and slept! Poor little lady was sooooo tired.

I don't know if this was a Christmas to remember or to forget haha! All I know is that I don't think we'll be traveling anywhere soon with our little one. It's too stressful! So for you moms who can travel well with kids, I salute you cause I sure can't!
