Hannah got her first bottle on New Years Day and took it like a champ. It was a very different experience than we had with Nathan, who we had to give a bottle to early on to make sure he was eating enough.
Gary gave her the bottle to make sure there was no confusion since I was breastfeeding.
And of course Nathan joined in the fun!
Took this with my cell phone on New Years Eve when Nathan was watching TV in our bed. He did a good job holding on to her so she wouldn’t fall off the bed, and kept laughing every time she fell over on him.
Christmas morning was at Gary’s sister’s house with this family. It’s always a relaxed and fun time.
Nathan got a Toy Story Snuggie (his request).
Oma had a run-in with a remote controlled helicopter.
Usually we get the cousins in a picture together, but Nathan wasn’t going for it this year.
The holiday was pretty exhausting this year since Hannah was just a month old, and Nathan was on an extended high from several days of presents and junk food. But even so, it’s still always a holiday I love.

Hanukkah went by in a blur this year since it came less than a week after Hannah was born. The timing worked out so that my mom could be with us for the first night, and we had Gary’s parents over then too. It was nice to have the family there to celebrate with us.
Nathan got to use his wooden Menorah to light candles.
We opened presents every night, but isn’t it just like a kid to have more fun with the packaging?
Nathan loved Latkes!

Hannah’s first few months she made this face all the time. I’m not sure what it meant…maybe it’s when she was concentrating…but either way, it was cute and I’m glad I captured it.
Not much to report on Hannah other than at one month she was sleeping well and seemed to be a pretty content and “easy” baby. Oh, and she has crazy hair and a lot of it!
At her one month appointment, Hannah was 9 lbs 13.4 oz and 21 1/2 inches in length.
(I think she looks a little like Nathan here)
I did a little photo shoot with Hannah when she was about 2 weeks old to get pictures for her birth announcement. Here are some outtakes…
I also took a bunch of pictures of Nathan and Hannah together.
Here’s Nathan and Hannah watching some cartoons one morning in late December. Hannah is about a month old here.
Every time Hannah fell over Nathan would start cracking up.
Fenny was definitely interested in the new creature we brought home. But as with Nathan, he’s been very good with Hannah. He can get excited and rambunctious, but when he’s sniffing her and aware that she’s close by, he’s very calm.
Here he is checking Nathan out days after we brought him home.
And checking Hannah out days after we brought her home.
Not much has changed besides the house, and I guess Fen has gotten a tad bigger 
The bassinet belongs to Gary’s Grandmother and lots of kids in his family have used it, including him I believe. I love that ours have used it as well.
