Happy Halloween!

Mia started her Halloween with some good old pumpkin carving. She tried to eat the eye cut outs kind of like an apple. According to her, they were "yummy."



Then in the afternoon, Mia and Cooper got dressed up to go to a local church Halloween festival. Mia loved that baby "Pooper" was a baby pumpkin.

The festival had a wonderful set up for the preschool crowd including an obstacle course courtesy of My Gym. Mia went straight for flat ladder and climbed it like a champ.
Their tent set up was pretty cool too.
In the tent Mia caught up with her good friend Kathryn who was a kitty cat (you can't see her tail and as you can tell no one wanted to wear their hats because it was too hot.)
Mia amazed mommy and daddy by walking the plank all by herself. Maybe we have a gymnast on our hands?
Our Halloween unfortunately ended with playing with candy in the living room as it has been a total wash out of a Halloween night here. Mia agrees with daddy that KitKats are really "yummy" and is still talking about them in her crib as I type. :-)

Happy Halloween. Hope you had a great one!

September 2009

September is already over....where did it go!? As always, September is the busiest month of the year in the Hanna household. I will do my best to remember the highlights.



Mia had her first official day of preschool. She was a little unsure about the preschool thing in the beginning but now loves to go and chatters all the way home about all the things she did and the songs she sang. She is learning everyone's name, doing art every day, having music class, playing on the playground, and having a great time. Today I arrived to find them all participating in a homemade obstacle course which included squishy stairs, a tunnel, and a tent. They were all having a ball.







We celebrated Daddy's 33rd birthday. Mia now thinks that whenever you sing happy birthday that daddy is the one having the birthday. ;-) And yes this cake looks similar to Sam's birthday cake from last year but all he wants is pound cake!

Grandma and grandpa came to visit. Mia was soooo excited! She had lots of fun playing with grandma and grandpa, we went to the Greek festival where she enjoyed spinach pies for the first time, and Sam and I got a break from chasing her around the house (her favorite activity).

I hit up the September consignment sales and found some great fall/winter clothes and some Christmas presents for Mia. I might have gotten some things that Sam really likes too.....

Auntie Erin came to visit for mommy's 3oth birthday (thank you Jewish holidays).

Auntie Erin brought Mia her first dance outfit complete with new ballet shoes.

Auntie Erin taught Mia how to make cupcakes for mommy's birthday. Mia stirred and put the cupcake papers in the tin. She did a great job!

Overall, we had a great month. We are gearing up for Cooper's arrival. We have his room almost put together, crib, bedding, and all. Mia is learning at least a word a day and is using verbs wonderfully (running/run, walking/walk, broke, etc). It's really wonderful to watch her grow up.
