Being a Baby is Tough Work

Things have finally started to seem normal to us.  With both of us working and Hannah Claire in school we have a routine going.  I never realized how much I liked routine and order in my life.  We stay pretty busy on the weekends with football on Saturdays and church (and naps) on Sundays.  Here are some new pictures:

As you can see Hannah Claire has a really tough job being so cute.  She lays around like she is the queen of the house.  I guess she really is.  I might have to reclaim my title!

As you can see, Hannah Claire is so overworked when it comes time to eat.  We love this look from her.  She always puts that little hand on her head as she eats.  You may not know this but drinking from a bottle takes tons of energy, or so HC wants us to think:)

We went to dinner and high school football game with our good friends Jon and Karen (who are expecting their first!!!).  We were at a Japanese steak house.  It was really loud and Hannah Claire just slept right through everything.  As you can see she is covering her ear with her hand.  Guess she is annoyed with us for picking such a loud place.

As hard as being a baby is, there are many times of sheer joy.  HC likes hanging out with Mommy and Daddy while we eat dinner.  

Many people don't know that Hannah Claire has an alter ego.  She is SUPER BABY!  She loves to fly through the air.  Here is one of the few pictures you will ever see of SUPER BABY because as we all know superheros must keep their personal lives secret.  We ask that you tell no one of SUPER BABY's real identity:)

Hannah Claire likes to hang out with Mommy during tummy time.  Really it is probably the other way around (Mommy likes to hang with HC because we all know HC hates tummy time).

HC and Daddy spend time watching football together.  We are still so amazed at how much our little girl loves football.  We shouldn't be surprised since we both love it so much.  We try not to let her watch much tv but go ahead and try to break her concentration when football is on.  

We met some good friends for dinner one night and 2 of their 3 girls.  They are such sweet kids.  One of the girls named her new baby doll Hannah Claire.  She even asked us if it would be okay for her to name her doll HC.  It was so sweet and we are so honored.

I love the 1st picture with her feet crossed! She seems to be saying "this is the life". Also don't you love how they can sleep and eat at the same time. So maybe it really is the life!! Hope to see you all soon!

Good luck at reclaiming your queen of the house title! I just have a feeling that she will be filling that role got quite some time - as I am sure Lillian will when she arrives. If I haven't mentioned it before, I love how chunky HC's little legs are getting!
