Out and About

As Hannah gets older and a little more capable of missing a nap here and there, we're gradually getting our freedom back, and it's great. June was a fun month, especially because we got to see Maya, Erez, and beautiful Lia, who's about 6 months older than Hannah. We met them at a place called Pixie Woods in Stockton, CA. Stockton is a complete dump, but the Pixie Woods were a lot of fun. A great place for kids with rides, fountains, playgrounds, etc. for a very reasonable price. Hannah had her first Merry Go Round ride here, and she absolutely loved it. She also discovered a passion for getting herself soaking wet, and she now insists I spray her with the hose almost every day when I come home from work!

Really, We're Not Such Bad Parents

Anyone who knows my sense of humor will appreciate this video. And I promise you, we're not such bad parents, and we're not training our sweet little girl to have a potty mouth. But I just couldn't resist. Enjoy this (edited) video from late May/early June 2008.

Hannah and Zoe

Hannah took her first plane flight last weekend when we went to Los Angeles to see Jake, Yaling, and Zoe. The girls were definitely aware of each other, but for the post part, Hannah did her own thing and Zoe watched her and crawled around trying to catch up to Hannah. It was cute to watch, and I'm sure the girls will love playing with each other as they get older.

Hannah did great on the flight and liked takeoff, landing, and what little turbulence we felt the best. She looked out the window, but mostly wanted to spill her juice on the tray and then wipe it up with a napkin. For some strange reason, she likes cleaning up.

The weather in LA was great, and we took a great walk from Redondo Beach to Manhattan Beach, and back. Being in unfamiliar surroundings, Hannah didn't sleep that well, but she did great on our trip and had a good time.
