Two Months Old

What a week we have had! It all started on Friday. Friday was my birthday so Jon and I made plans to go to Greeley (just north of Denver) to do some shopping and have dinner. Hannah was going to stay with Linda, a friend of the family who lives in Greeley for the evening. So we left around two o'clock that afternoon and slowly made our way to Greeley. Hannah did great in the car for this first part of the trip and was super happy to find endless hands to hold her. She had a great time with Linda and the kids, and Evan even dressed her up in his bear's Denver nuggets jersey! So cute! We stayed the night at their house that night and then got up to leave early the next morning. The rest of our weekend was to be spent in Colorado Springs looking for a place to live. None of us were looking forward to this, since Hannah got really cranky the last time we did it. But, we had no choice, so we went. We took things much easier this time (we learn from our past experiences) and tried to accommodate Hannah as much as possible. We stayed there Saturday through Monday and had a goal of getting everything settled before we left. Fortunately, after lots of incredible frustration at the outrageous prices of rental property, we did find a place to live, but it did take much longer than we had expected. So while we had planned on coming back to Laramie first thing Monday morning, we didn't actually arrive until 10:00 pm. Let's just say that Hannah was spent. So my entire day Tuesday was spent holding Hannah and trying to get her to stop crying (this is our ritual after trips). I got nothing done! Then today, she went to her two month checkup and had her first round of immunizations. Yet another day of getting nothing done! I can't say that I am all that upset about either day because I really just feel so sorry for the poor girl...she has had a rough several days too! I think both she and I are ready for things to get back to normal (at least for a few days anyway until we leave for Louisiana). Here are a few pictures of that I thought you would enjoy.

Hannah getting a bath at the hotel this weekend. Last time, I just put a towel in the bottom of the bathtub, but Jon out-smarted me this time. This is in the sink that I thought was way too small for her. Turns out, it was perfect and she didn't seem to mind it one bit!

Hannah "hearts" New York, or maybe just a few special people that live there. She asked me to give her Aunt and Nick a shout out! I know the look on her face isn't all that convincing that she "hearts" NY, but it's just that she "hearts" it so much that she is in distress, hence the look on her face. :)

She really cracks us up sometimes. She has a game that she plays with her dad where she lays on his stomach on the couch and then throws herself to one side or the other...basically, rolling from one side to the other. So while she thinks that she is actually rolling over on her own, it is a lot easier to do on him because he is softer than the floor. She gets really frustrated when we lay her on the floor because she can't roll over and tries really hard for a long time. So we thought we would try to get some pictures of it, because it is hilarious. This (above) is the first picture in the series.
Picture two (above), starting to get frustrated but Dad is trying to help her out.

Picture three (above). She's had enough because she can't do it and is really sick of trying...I am pretty sure she either passed out from exhaustion after this or wailed until we picked her up. I try not to let her turn bright red for too long.
