Happily The Hansens: EIGHT MONTHS

STATS:

Diapers: Size 2

Clothes: 6-9 & 9 months

You are seeming more like a big kid every day now... i love it and hate it at the same time.

You are officially a full on crawler. You only scoot when your knees are really hurting. Even then you try and bear crawl.

Your knees are bruised... and I just keep putting you in the cutest little shorts because I can't stop it so you deal with it.

You have four teeth. The buck ones are my fav.

Teeth are all so new to you so you love grinding them. It is weird.

You climb and stand up against EVERYTHING. You are super fond of climbing on your mom & couches and pretty much anything.

We lowered your crib because you always climb up against that.

We celebrated your first Easter & your second General Conference!

Your Hansen grandparents got you the cutest stuffed animal. You also got spoons, snacks, a stuffed animal, & food from the Easter bunny.

We went swimming at the Mesquite Rec Center with your Aunt Tessa + her family. Your aunts Kately and Talia came, too!

You love the water and do so good. You are still a splasher!

You don't snuggle with mom as much anymore because you just want to go and go and go! So I take all the cuddles I can get.

You are SO funny. Sometimes you just like to chill like a grandpa.

The park is our go-to spot + I think it will continue to be for a long time.

You love people watching more than you actually like playing.

Wait did I mention that we really love the park?

We went with your cousins, Ryker and Klo, to your uncle Desmands house and played with Katy, Porsha + Daisy. You love ALL your cousins. Easily your fav place to be is outside. I'm not complaining.

In the left picture you are grinding your teeth. I am hoping it is just a phase.

We went with the Hansens to go take Talias Senior pictures. We found out that you were a model. ;)

It was super hot that day so we stripped you down in no time.

We went to Zion and hiked The River Walk towards the Narrows. You LOVED it. It rained us out but we were all smiles.

You especially liked being on the bus. You were smiling so big at the other passengers and just soaking it all in.

You and your cousin Vanden WILL be best buds. Even if I have to force this friendship on you. You like clawing at his face and he likes clawing at his own face so you already have that in common.

Seriously, I have no idea what is up with that side pose. ^^ You have always done it and everyone finds it a bit odd but still super hilarious. What can I say.. you're a model.

A baby sleeping is for real the best thing EVER.

You still sleep on your belly or side, just like your momma.

You and your dad are becoming pretty good pals. He puts you to bed every night and checks on you and sings you the cutest little songs.

Your dad is the only person who makes you laugh HARD. It is so cute hearing you two together.

Ivy is still pretty obsessed with you.

You still don't know what you think about her.

The Hansens house has all the fun toys and gadgets!

You are becoming more independent and play so much better on your own.

Your new found love is smoothies!

You really love any and all food that anyone is eating around you. I am usually the one that suckers in and gives you any food you want.

When you sit up you look so grown!

You are pretty good when you come to work with mom. You last about two hours and then need to eat or sleep and then you are good to go for another two hours.

Your laugh is the best. Well it is more of a cackle but its still super adorable.

You smile at almost everything unless you are in a real bad mood then nothing can save you.

I wanted to get you a little camping chair so bad because you just look so cute but your dad hates us. ;)

You are not a bad shopper these days because we don't make you stay in your carseat. You are all big so you sit in the shopping cart most of the time.

Your cheeks. They are so stinking squishy!

I kiss on them all day!

You LOVE your grandparents. They give you so much attention and love.

We love living so close so we are able to spend lots of time with them. We also loved getting to see Tara, Lane and Marley and finding out they are pregnant with another baby!
