Hannah Claire getting ready for the big battle.
She's outta here.
We attempted to take some 15 month pictures and a fight broke out.

Melissa & Tony's Wedding Weekend
The first weekend of August we spent celebrating the marriage of one of my absolute best friends in the world. Melissa and I were roomies for two years in college so we really got to know each other. We are so happy that she has found such a great guy. We had lots of fun throughout the weekend. On Thursday we kicked off the busy weekend with a call from Hannah Claire's school around 2'ish to say she had a fever of 102. I went to pick her up and I could tell she didn't feel great but the fever was pretty much the only symptom. I'm thinking teething at this point. Later that evening I went to the airport to pick up Elizabeth. She lived with Melissa & me one year and next door the next (next door was about two steps since we lived in the ZTA house). We loved having Elizabeth with us so much this year for all of the wedding stuff. Hopefully we will get to see her again soon. Friday we went to the bridesmaid luncheon with HC in tow because her daycare was closed for transition day. The food was yummy and the dessert was to die for!!! A funny note from the event, Hannah Claire and Hannah Elizabeth (one of the flower girls) had on the same dress. They were so cute but we didn't get a single picture.
Saturday started early for me with HC waking up around 4 a.m. with a 103 degree fever. Poor baby! Saturday was a crazy busy day with manicures, running home to check on HC and shower, getting pulled over for an expired tag in a hotel drive through after going one block from the Museum of Art, pictures and the big event. Don't worry I didn't get a ticket. The wedding went off without a hitch. The bride was absolutely beautiful!!! The reception was tons of fun!
Daddy, Nana and HC came for the wedding since HC was feeling fine and the fever was under control. I'm still not really sure what was wrong but she is fine now, thankfully! Nana & HC had some fun pre-wedding.
Two nights up after midnight makes me realize I am now officially old and I LOVE it! I'm just not cut out to be up late!
Barons Game
A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to attend the Baron's game and sit in the Alfa box. It was great to have a nice air-conditioned space that a toddler could run around, like a wild woman! The Barons beat the Biscuits! It was also military appreciation night. How cool was this?!
Apparently one of the perks of being in the box is Babe Ruff stops by for a visit. Hannah Claire was totally digging him when he was two boxes away. Once he got closer she was not so sure about it. But she is so brave. She never cried, she just checked him out. She even slightly petted him.
After the game they had a fireworks show. It was so good! I wish we had a picture. We changed HC into her pjs and she curled up in my lap to watch the show. It was way past her bedtime but she made it all the way to the car. I'm pretty sure she was out before we got backed out of the parking space.

Take Two
So somehow I missed half of the pictures from our trip. Now for the rest. We stopped by to see our friends the Matthews. Jackson recently celebrated his first birthday and we were not able to make it to the party. We went for a little visit on Saturday morning. I love to watch little one interact with one another. Hannah Claire was eyeing Jackson and his sippy cup of milk. I have not really documented HC's realtionship with a sippy of milk. She HATES it! The kid loves milk, I mean loves it! She even doesn't mind the sippy. However she completely refuses milk in a sippy. We have tried every sippy known to man (soft spouts, hard spouts, clear cups, colored cups, cartoony cups, straws, nipples, you name it). We have also tried chocholate, strawberry, half water & half milk. We have made it a big deal and we have made it no big deal. Still nothing. It is really insane! So you can understand why this picture is just typical, HC eyeing Jackson's cup like she wants it. No, trust mommy, you don't. I have tried!
"What, we are not up to anything."
Hannah Claire found the remote and immediately pointed it to the tv. Maybe we watch too much tv. Got it!
Any good Mawmaw has to get lovin from all the babies. I'm not sure Hannah Claire was big on it though.
This was the closest they got on their own. Oh, the power of toys.
Jackson, was either wondering where HC was going or happy she was leaving.
Jackson was trying to show HC some toys in his room.
Goodbye kisses.
I'm not sure what was so funny to the ladies, but Jackson was not amused.
We always have so much fun after a visit we are exhausted when we get home. HC & Daddy had to take a rest.

Summer Visits
A few weeks ago we made a trip to visit Mawmaw & Pawpaw. We had so much fun visiting and seeing some family we hadn't see in a while.
HC getting ready:
Apparently HC thought she was going shopping. Notice my wallet open and laying in the floor behind her. I have learned quickly to keep my purse on higher ground.
For some reason Hannah Claire has never really cared for grass. She has come a long way but she is still skeptical when it touches her foot.
Hannah Claire's very first experience with lightening bugs. They were all over the yard. We tried to catch them and let her see them. She thought they were super cool!
We had so much fun and can't wait to see Mawmaw & Pawpaw again.

Always Up to Something
I just love to take pictures of Hannah Claire when she is in the middle of playing. I want to be able to look back and remember the little things that she does that are so funny to us but we are likely to forget over time. These are some of those pictures.
I look over and see HC has crawled under the table and set up shop with her toys and all. This was a first and she hasn't done it since. Probably because she can't sit up straight so it wasn't the most comfortable and she bumped her head trying to get out.
I am really afraid that Hannah Claire is going to be a girly girl. I'm not sure what to do with a girly girl. I mean we can wear cute dressed but we also need to be able to play in the mud. She loves to sit with me while I am putting on my makeup, she loves to brush her hair, she is already into dress up (as you will see in a second) and she loves to play with her rings (or whatever she can find to us) as her bracelets.
This kid will sleep in some of the most unusual positions. It is a good thing she sleeps in her crib because if she didn't I'm sure neither Shane or I would get any sleep. She tosses and turns constantly. We checked on her one night before bed and this is what we saw. It was too sweet not to take a picture. I don't think she could have gotten any closer to the bumper.
Hannah Claire has taken a liken to one of my shirts. She can pull it off the hanger in my closet and proceeds to every time the closet door opens. She started crying one Sunday because I took it away from her to get ready for church so I promised her that she could wear it when we got home. I always try to keep my random promises I make when in the middle of a meltdown. HC got to play dress-up when we got home and she loved it!
Okay this picture has a hilarious story. Shane and I were sitting in the living room floor playing with Hannah Claire when she disappeared into her room. She went into her room and closed the door. I yell to her, "Hannah Claire you better not be in that garbage can". Slowly the door opened, she peeked around the door and then opened it enough for us to see the dirty diaper in her hand. We couldn't help but to loose it. Remember how your mom would tell you to stop doing something and she was not anywhere near but she knew exactly what you were doing. I always wondered how she knew and now I know. You just know based on what the kid usually does. While we were laughing hysterically we tried to capture something in pictures. By the time we did she had already put the dirty diaper down and picked up one of her swim diapers.
Shane and I had chicken slenders one night for dinner and Hannah Claire decided that she needed one. We let her try it. She can't really bit into it but she was able to get some of the crispy outside off.
