What's been going on with the Bowman Bunch

Hello!

It's been quite a while since I've blogged. This summer has been quite the busy one. Here's what we've been up to:
The little Lady-
She's almost a year old! When did this happen?! I feel like she's grown up so much these past few months. She started crawling at 8 months, started pulling herself up on furniture a few weeks later, then became a speed crawler and now she's WALKING EVERYWHERE! She hit 11 months decided it was time to start walking. So now instead of watching what shes putting in her mouth from whats been on the floor, she now heads over to the kitchen and opens all the cupboards, pulls everything out, and then does it all over again. She's such a spirited little one, we just love her! She's "talking" like crazy now too. She can say "daddy" "hi" "no" "yes" "doodn't"(we don't know what that means) and many other words. I stopped nursing her at 10 months and tried to wean her to a bottle.... yeah that didn't work. This little one takes after her Auntie Kate and went straight to a sippy cup. It's the cutest thing to watch her take her sippy cup. She also eats just about anything we give her now. She's quite the good little eater. My favorite thing about this whole sippy cup thing is... drum roll please.... She's sleeping through the night!!! She's soo much fun!

Sean- He's been sick off and on. It's been quite sad. He came home from work one weekend with a high fever, chills, and the shakes. He went to the doctor and had quite a few things going on. He's been off and on antibitics, had an allergic reaction to one and stopped that one and is now on others. We're hoping we're on the downhill of things. He started teaching 4th grade last week and it's been great. He's such a great teacher. His students are lucky to have him! he's also turning 29 this weekend (he's soooo old! hehehe).

Me- I've been busy chasing after the little monster. She's so dang cute and funny. Makes me laugh everyday. I've already shared this news but I'm so excited to be pregnant again and welcome a new baby to our growing family! it's been a crazy summer especially since we found out we're pregnant but we couldn't be happier. I'm sick with this pregnancy but not nearly as much as I was with the little lady. Here's hoping it stays that way :)

Well that's all for now. Hope you enjoy our crazy life!

We have an announcement...

Our little family is growing!!! Hannah's going to be a big sister! We couldn't be more excited!!!

What a Blessing he is

I have to write a little shout out to my amazing husband and father of my baby girl.

Yesterday was Father's Day and I can't help but be filled with the utmost joy that we were able to celebrate the love of my life, Sean and his first Father's Day. What an amazing man he is. He's so gentle, caring, loving, sweet, such a hard worker, an amazing provider, protector of our little home and family, and truly an angel. I don't know where I'd be without him. He makes me want to be a better person and strive to serve those around me. He has the biggest heart and helps anyone and everyone he can. My heart still flutters every time I see him and I love the way he smells. He makes me weak in the knees when he kisses me (mush! as my mom would say) and when he hugs me I feel like there's no worry or care in the world.

 Hannah adores her daddy like no other. The minute he walks into the house she is reaching as hard as she can for daddy to hold her. Sean is so sweet and tender with her too. I couldn't have asked for a better father for our children. He is so protective of her it melts my heart. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for blessing me with such an amazing husband and father. I don't know what I did to deserve him but I am SO grateful we're together. Thank you Sean for everything you do! We love you so much!

The little lady is 9 months!!! Holy moly time has flown!!! Our little lady is such a joy in our lives. We love her ohhhh sooo much!!

A few things Hannah's doing at 9 months:

loving daddy more than mommy (so funny and so cute)

such a happy baby

Hannah is such a joy to our little family. We couldn't imagine life without her. She teaches us patience, love, compassion, how to let things go, and to truly enjoy the little moments in life. So happy shes ours!

Hannah's 9 month stats are:

Height: 28 inches

Weight: 22.8 lbs

Head: 18 inches

She's in the 90th percentile and still growing!!! She's so smart and such a happy little thing :)

Waving!

This is by far my most favorite video of Hannah yet! She's learned how to wave!(sort of) When I say "say hi!" she puts her arm up and says hi! I've been trying to teach her how to wave hi for a while now and this is what we've got! This video is about a month old and I'm behind on posting videos but better late than never right?? Anyway, her waving is so funny and we just love it :)

She Knows What She Wants

Hannah definitely knows what she wants. After her nightly bath we sit on the couch and reads a few books before bed. Lately she's been picking the books she wants us to read. I have to laugh... she's only 8 months old and so decisive already! We got it on video one night and just had to share. Enjoy!

Hannah's version of a pacifier. She won't take a bottle or a pacifier. Instead she chews on them :)

Happy baby!

This is what daddy chose for Hannah to wear to church... she didn't wear it :)
