Hannah is getting so big - 4 months!

When I signed on tonight to post, I didn't realize it had been well over a month since I updated everyone on what's been going on with The Johnsons! So much has been going on that I've hardly had time to do anything outside of our daily routine. I suppose the biggest update is that I started back to work on April 6th and Hannah started daycare at The Primrose School of Brentwood. Going back to work was so hard at first because I couldn't imagine not being with Hannah all day, every day but I have since adjusted to the idea. Her little school is very sweet and her teachers Ms Haley and Ms Christa are so kind. I know they take such good care of her and they always send me pictures of her smiling and happy so that made the transition much easier. For me, returning to work was actually exciting (once I got over leaving my little angel) because my boss gave me a promotion. I am about 100 times busier but I am really enjoying the new position at Cogent.

This past week, I took Hannah to see Dr. Long for her 4 month physical. He was so pleased with how she is growing and developing. Hannah weighed 14.4 pounds which is in the 70th percentile and is 25 inches long which is in the 95th percentile. I think she's going to be a tall little lady!! Dr. Long told me to start giving Hannah solids so we started her on rice cereal this week. Of course, she made hilarious faces with her first few bites but after some time, she started to like it. She eats cereal first thing in the morning and then at dinnertime and is doing well with it. I just can't believe that she's getting old enough to actually eat solids! Hannah also is becoming much more active. She rolls over and would go across the den floor if I'd let her. She also has found her feet and almost has figured out how to put them in her mouth. Hannah continues to be such a sweet, happy baby and Curt and I are enjoying all of the new things she is doing.

So everyone can see what Hannah is looking like lately, here are some pictures of some fun things we have done since the beginning of April (which was the last time I posted...I know, such a slacker!!). The week before I went back to work we visited Curt's Dad at the capitol. Hannah was so good and all the representatives loved her. The whole family was introduced once session started and we got to meet Speaker of the House Beth Harwell and Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey. Here are some pictures from the day.

April is a busy birthday month in both Curt's and my families. In fact, Curt's Mom and Grandmother were both born April 2nd and my birthday is April 4th. This year, Curt's grandmother turned 80 so Marsha had a special celebration at her house for my family and Curt's. Here are photos from the party. 

Of course, we celebrated Easter. Hannah is a spoiled little girl because she had an Easter basket at home, her Honey's and her Nana's. I took a picture of her baskets from home and Honey's. 

We also celebrated Mother's Day last weekend at my Mom's after church and then at Curt's parents for dinner. Curt wasn't able to join us during the day because he is now working on the weekends. It's so bittersweet because Curt's new job is a result of answered prayers but at the same time he and I don't have the same days off so quality family time is hard to come by lately. OF course, Curt didn't let his work schedule interfere with making it a special 1st Mother's Day for me. He and Hannah picked out beautiful earrings for me and gave me the sweetest cards.

Last but not least, here are some photos from Hannah's first cereal "dinner." Curt and I weren't thinking and gave her a bath first and then fed her. We learned out lesson!!
