Papa stopped to feed Hannah at the party this past weekend. Hannah's three cousins at the party all decided to lend a hand to help feed Hannah. I am not sure how much help it was, but it is cute how excited the three Nicholas girls get when Hannah comes to see them.

Hannah got a little sleepy at her cousin's Mardi Gras Parade, so G held her and put to asleep. Hannah day was full of 5-10 minute naps, which was not so great for her parents.

Hannah's grandparents BB and Papa gave Hannah a walker toy. She liked to walk around behind the walker until it hit this chair and no longer would roll forward. She has not yet figured out how to put it in reverse.

Hannah's Mobile, AL Update

Hannah had a good trip to Mobile, AL this past weekend. Management is a
little backed up right now, but anticipates updating the website with
pictures tomorrow night. -Management

Even though the pictures do not show it, Heather was not the only one in the room that got to hold Hannah. It was just that everyone had to stand in line waiting to hold her. You can not blame everyone... You know... Because she is so advanced.

That is more like it now that Heather is holding Hannah. Hannah was mesmerized by the pinball machine on the other side of the room. At least that is what I keep telling myself; maybe one of the girls in the house will play pinball with me. -Andrew

Matt Horn had a hard time understanding that Hannah was not his birthday present from the Chambers family. Heather had a hard time letting anyone else hold Hannah.

Hannah enjoyed spending the night out celebrating Matt Horn's 27th birthday. She really liked all the beer.

New Pictures of Hannah soon!

Hannah's website has been lacking updates lately, as I am sure some of
you have noticed. Hannah will be traveling to Mobile, AL this weekend
to see her God-Mother Jillian Lomax. Jillian is getting married in
March and she is having a party this weekend (read: photo
opportunities!). After the party Hannah will be traveling to Orange
Beach, AL to spend some time with "G" and Pop (read: beach photo
opportunities!).
Just a quick update on Hannah's progress... Hannah is crawling around
the house about as quickly as her parents can walk around. She is
pulling up on everything and standing. She still leaves big wet mouth
marks on the leather furniture, but she is working on breaking that
habit. She recently weighed in at 15 pounds! We are not sure what
percentile that is, but we know it is right on track with her mother and
father. She has a busy social calendar for the next couple months which
will bring more pictures to the website.
Hannah will return home Sunday (02-19-06) with a load of new
pictures, in the mean time her management will try to get a couple more
posted before the trip. -Management

Hannah has a lot of really cool toys... Toys that talk to her, toys that sooth her gums while she is teething, toy that flash and blink, etc. Some of which you can see in the background of this pictures. However, Hannah seems to like two toys that belong to Daddy: The Nikon Camera and the Sony remote control. It is difficult now to get the camera out because Hannah will come crawling to it and try to take her own pictures, as you can see in this picture. -Daddy

Hannah is crawling around and pulling up on EVERYTHING now. Here she is holding onto the coffee table. She does pretty well with the table, although she has bumped her head on it once or twice. She likes to try to eat the table too. This is fine now, since she has no teeth, but I am not sure what her parents are going to do when she wants to bite the wood when she has teeth. Daddy wakes up in a cold sweat some nights thinking about his leather couches and Hannah's little wet mouth marks.

In case you missed the first post of Hannah eating prunes, here is a little closer view of it. As you can see she laid down a good first coat of squash (orange color) prior to applying the prunes (black color) to her face.

Hannah got a good taste of the good life today; she was allowed to eat prunes! I can not say this was the first time she had prunes, but I can say it is the first time she got them on everything around. Prunes do not look very good on her, nor do they look good on my leather couches, next to the wet mouth marks. -Andrew

All kidding aside... Hannah really is scooting around the house now. She is still not too fast for her parents, but she is getting there. She is crawling a little earlier than the others in her class. She likes to try to pull up on just about everything now, and she can stand for a short while if she is holding on. It is getting dangerous at the Chambers' house. The leather couches are in danger of getting small wet mouth impressions on them; Daddy is constantly watching out for leather damage or at least trying to prevent it. She comes home from school most days and crashes for a while. Tonight she has had all kinds of energy, and ironically her parents do not (tonight).
Hannah is looking forward to seeing her grandparents this coming weekend, but her father is going to miss her while he is spending the weekend with the boys shooting guns, and playing cards.

Usually after I take pictures of the family, Stephanie and I look them over prior to posting them on the webpage. Tonight I got some good ones of Hannah standing with Stephanie holding her just in case she got wobbly. Stephanie did not like herself in the picture, she never does. So she told me not to post any of her in the picture with Hannah, and I agreed not to post any of Stephanie.
Here Hannah is seen standing with the help of a neighborhood "friend". The unnamed person seemed to have a great time with Hannah tonight. -Andrew

I had never noticed before, but Hannah really is quite bald. In addition to being very advanced. -Andrew

Hannah was watching the baseball game on TV and is trying to figure out how to throw a split finger fast-ball, just like the big boys. She has most of the motion down, but will need to visit the weight room a few times before she can put it all together.

Stephanie and I wonder what kind of sports Hannah might like to play. Here she looks like a soccer goalie, except not mean enough. She might just have to stick with the modeling scene and make tons of cash for her parents. Yea, that is what she wants to do. -Management

Today Stephanie and I had to have a conversation with Hannah. It seems at school today she made another girl cry in the class because Hannah was so much more advanced than the other girl (born on the same day as Hannah). We asked Hannah to play nice and not to show off so much. Hannah understands she is much more advanced than the rest of the class and agreed not to talk in front of them anymore. -Andrew

Hannah is in a great mood tonight, now that she is out of her car seat and is free to roam the floor. She was not quite so happy on the ten minute ride home from Babies-R-Us.

Hannah has really advanced her skills as of late. Here she is standing in her crib waiting for daddy to get her out. She is in the 2nd percentile for height, so you can see that she is using the bumper pads for a little extra height. Like I said, she is very advanced. -Andrew (Daddy)

Hannah went to great lengths today to NOT sleep. She STOOD UP in her bed and told her teacher that she'd rather play. Ok, she didn't talk, but she did stand up in her crib!! Yeah!

Hannah had her 6 month checkup today. She weighed in at 13 lbs 13 oz - in the 10th percentile. She is now a whopping 23 1/2" long - in the 2 percentile. HMMMM.. wonder where she gets that?

Management's wife

Heather has been accused of being a baby hog by her husband Matt. She really enjoys holding Hannah and her parents see no problem with her holding Hannah as much as she wants. However we are not able to post all 1362 pictures of Heather holding Hannah from this one night.
Heather pointed out that she and others would like to know the origin of her new nickname "Pickles". This is the perfect opportunity to tell the story for everyone to read, but since I am holding Hannah right now and typing with one hand I can not. -Andrew

While everyone else was enjoying their beer, Hannah was enjoying her teething ring. She is not teething yet, but loves to chew on that thing. It will be at least another 13 years before Hannah gets to drink her first beer (she is very advanced).

If Hannah is sleeping, it must be the third period! She had a great time seeing the game and all her friends that came over to see her at her seat, and all that excitement wore her out. Plus the Lynx were loosing and there were no fights in the game. Hannah's favorite thing to see at the hockey game is the fighting.

Matt and Heather Horn (near) and Adam and Nicolle Coker (far) joined the Chambers family at the game. This picture was one of the rare times Heather was not holding Hannah. Adam is trying to grow out his beard to appear more masculine, as there have been some questions raised about him lately.

Stephanie's friend and co-worker Susan also came down from her seats to see Hannah, I told you she is very popular. Susan tried to get Hannah to wear her complimentary Augusta Lynx cowboy hat, but as you can tell, it was a little too big for her. I am not sure that is Hannah's style anyway.

Mayme and Hannah were the center of attention at the game. As you can see the players were looking at them, and the fans were pointing them out. Not only is Hannah very advanced, but she is very popular too.

Stephanie's friend and co-worker Mayme came down to see Hannah at the game. She took Hannah down to the glass where Hannah was able to bang on the glass just like a hockey fan. Hannah was a little disappointed with the Augusta Lynx effort that night. She felt like the forwards were not skating hard enough, and the defensive strategy of the "Left wing lock" left the Lynx open to quick rushes up the ice with little counter attack ability. Maybe that is why she was banging on the glass.

Hannah went to her first ice hockey game last night. Stephanie bought her this new hat before the game, to make sure she would not get cold at the game. Hannah loved the first two periods of the game, but got a little sleepy in the third period. She is looking forward to going to her first NHL game in Atlanta, sometime.

Hannah has another exciting night out on the town, and she was wiped out afterward. This is a twist on the normal picture of her asleep in her car seat. This time she has a winter hat on that almost covers her whole face.

Hannah enjoyed playing with Tripp and getting her new nickname. She is expecting some pickles in her stocking next year. She likes Bread and Butter pickles.

Hannah is seen here with Candice and Trent McClarren (outsides) and Tripp Atkins. Tripp gave Hannah her new nickname of "Pickles". While she is very advanced, Hannah sometimes decides not to cooperate when taking pictures.

At this point Hannah has had a long day! This picture was taken Christmas day around 8PM. Hannah was really wiped out from the long day, but was handling it well. Here she was enjoying the Lomax family party.

Hannah is getting really good at reaching for things, especially at the dinner table. Her parents first realized this when Hannah pulled Stephanie's quesadilla off the table and onto the floor one night. She can move really fast!

Hannah met her Great-Great-Great Aunt Vevia while in Mobile for Christmas. Aunt Vevia is 95 years old and really enjoyed meeting Hannah. Hannah really enjoyed sitting with Vevia for a little while. Hannah is looking forward to seeing her again soon.

Hannah and her cousin MaryKeenan have the same beautiful blue eyes. Hannah is almost 6 months old, so she might keep her blue eyes.

Hannah is almost 6 months old. She did very well spending 8+ hours on the way down to Mobile in her car seat and 8+ hours in the car seat on the way home. That is a sign that she is very advanced.
