Happy Birthday Nana!

We are back from Italy and I promise a longer post with more pictures soon but we wanted to be among the first to wish Nana a very Happy Birthday! We had a fabulous time celebrating with you in Italy!!! 

Playing at the Park

Katie, Davis and Oliver came down for a visit this afternoon and since it was such a nice day, we decided to walk to a park and play outside for a bit. Oliver and Hannah both had fun exploring - Oliver loved the swings while Hannah cried both times we tried putting her in one. But she made up for it by going headfirst down the slide - showing she does not possess all of Mom's "cautious genes" and does have some of her Dad's adventurous side.  

February!

It's hard to believe it's already March. The days have been flying by which fine with us as we're ready for spring (as I watch the snow fall outside!). Hannah's been keeping us busy this month - constantly on the move except when she's (thankfully!) napping and starting to climb. We're finding she's able to reach more and more things and keeping things "Hannah proofed" is becoming increasingly difficult. She's continuing to babble in her own language - although we're getting glimpses of actual words every now and then which is so fun.

This girl loves her bathtub -- or maybe she was just hamming it up for Nana and Grandy. Either way we predict she's going to be a fish this summer at the beach....

She spent some time in CT with Grandma and Papi while I went into NYC for work - she had a fun time playing with Mia, checking out the library in town, and exploring Papi's office.

Working on the shape sorter (a new favorite toy - although at times frustrating!)....

Blowing kisses....

Playing with plastic Easter eggs at the kitchen counter ....

And playing on the very same slide that I (and Aunt Sarah, Uncle Eben and Aunt Allie) played on growing up -- pretty cool!

Talking w/ Mia through the window....

Next up - adventures in Italy! We leave in less than two weeks! Stay tuned.....
