This picture was taken during her first bath. Her hands are so small. -Andrew

Today Aunt Jillian taught Hannah to raise her hand when she has a question in class.

Hannah still has her blue eyes (5 weeks old). She will be pretty no matter what color they end up, but it would be neat if they stay blue.

Hannah must have joined a new gang, here is her new gang sign.

Hannah can now get her mittens off by herself. She is a quick study!

Hannah and her newest friend Madilyn Marie Spenner. Hannah will forever be 1 month older than Maddie. Hannah traveled 2 hours from Augusta to Atlanta to meet her newest friend.

Hannah seems to have pretty good control of her hands for a new born. She was seen this day holding her own "sassy".

Hannah really enjoyed having G and Pop come to visit. She was disappointed to see them go this morning. She hopes they will call when they arrive back in Mobile, AL.

Hannah is shown here demonstrating her feats of new born strength! She was competing in the strongest neck contest. She took 2nd place to an East German "female" baby.

After Hannah gets something to eat, she gets really sleepy for a minute, then wakes up for a while. We have not been using her mittens lately, and she has scratched her face pretty bad on the other side. Hannah does not like to be photographed on her "bad" side, although Stephanie and I can not find a bad view of her.

This is beginning to be a familiar scene. Hannah has been getting fussy a little more recently, but we think it is because her stomach hurts after feeding.

Andrew is imitating Hannah's face from 9PM to 10:30PM last night. It is too bad this site does not have sound!

Hannah is seen here flashing her new gang sign.

Hannah Update

There are no new pictures to share, but I do have an update on Hannah...
She went to the doctor on Friday, July 22nd. She weighed in at 7 lbs 6
oz, and for those of you keeping track that is above her birth weight.
Yesterday she had her finger nails clipped for the first time. She did
not really enjoy the experience, but now she does not have to wear her
mittens all the time. More pictures to follow, sometime soon. -Andrew
and Stephanie

Stephanie took this picture while Hannah was playing on her Einstein gym. She seems to really like it.

Looks like Hannah has wrapped another one around her finger!

Aunt Kay (from Morris) came to visit Hannah today. Hannah is excited to have another new friend!

It is amazing to see the way Stephanie and Hannah interact. Hannah knows her mother and usually calms down when she is near. There is a lot of estrogen in our house now, I am not sure when the dating starts, but it will be too soon. -Andrew

Here is a picture of Hannah sleeping in the gown Aunt Jillian bought for her.

It seems no matter what clothes we put her in, she always gets her feet loose form the clothing. She always seems to have her legs moving around, especially when she is being changed. It makes it hard to change her and stay clean.

Andrew has been known to say and do some strange things in his sleep. Hannah takes after her daddy. She was sleeping with her hands in the air for no good reason.

Bright eyed and bushy tailed.

Stephanie is a great mother. She gets so worried when Hannah gets really upset, but she does not let that happen very often.

Hannah's doctor appointment

Hannah saw the doctor today for a regular check-up. She was measured at
19.5 inches and she now weighs a slender 7 lbs. 3 oz. She is trying to
hang on to that girlish figure and we are trying to get her to gain some
weight! Hannah and Stephanie are doing great. Andrew is currently at
work thinking about Hannah and Stephanie.

Hannah has brought so much happiness to our lives, and the lives of our family members. We thank everyone that has helped us so much as Stephanie and I have become new parents. BB is getting ready to leave the house to return to life with Papa. Stephanie and I want everyone to know how much help she has been over the last three weeks.
We would also like to thank all of our friends that have been involved with our new daughter. From the gifts you have given us, food that you have cooked, time you have shared, we thank you all. We really feel lucky to have such great friends. -Andrew, Stephanie, and Hannah

I got my turn in front of the camera with my little tax break. -Andrew

Hannah's aunt Kat gave her this shirt. It is exactly what I was thinking : ) I was told me can not have another one prior to the end of the tax year. -Andrew

Hannah has quite a grip. I am not sure if she is holding on because she is scared, or if she finally got her hands out of those mittens.

The bath towel is a little big for her now. I was not aware that there were special "baby" towels.

She sure is small in Momma's hands.

Hannah got her first bath tonight because her cord fell off last night. We might aution off the stump on EBAY.

It is almost impossible to know what an infant this age is thinking, but I am pretty sure she is wondering what kind of offense Auburn is going to run this year after loosing 3 top offensive players to the first round of the NFL draft. She does know, however, that Auburn will beat Alabama again this season. Her early prediction on the game is Alabama 17 Auburn 52.

Dr. Joseph is holding Hannah. He delivered her just 36 hours prior to this picture. If you are looking for a doctor in the Augusta area to deliver your baby, I can't imagine one better than Dr. Allen Joseph. - Andrew

Really I do not have a thing for feet, I just think her feet are neat with all the wrinkles and creases. -Andrew

Andrew's co-worker and friend Naveen came over to see Hannah. Despite the insane, maniacal, "serial killer" look on his face, he is actually pretty nice. He was the first of Andrew's male co-workers brave enough to hold Hannah, but still, that look is a little disturbing. So I did not turn my back on him once.

Stephanie's co-worker and friend Susan came over to see Hannah. They work for a media company that has a publication called "Skirt!", it is not a men's magazine :( Hannah is not allowed to wear skirts until she is married. -Andrew

Are you starting to see a patern? Hannah seems to be sleeping in all the new pictures. It is difficult to get a good picture of her awake, I am going to have to work on that. -Andrew

You can tell by the way she looks like she is sleeping it is not nighttime. She still prefers to sleep more during the day.

Stephanie and I are still happy every time we see her, but... This is not the face you see at 3:30AM when Hannah is hungry or messy.

We are going to cut her finger nails soon so we can see her hands.
