hi.

Hi, my name is Nicole and it has been forever since I truly updated the blog. Sorry about that! I really have no excuses because Hannah and I are going stir crazy inside. The heat hit just as my little walker wants to spread her wings and walk all over the outdoors. Bummer- so we're killing time in other ways....

...like dreaming about this:

...okay, that might be a little extreme. But really...what is with this heat?! Back when it was a little cooler out- we hit the beach so that Hannah could play in the sand, NOT to go swimming. But the little lady just marched her fanny right down to the water (Oh the freedom of walking) and fully clothed walked right into the lake. Here are some sand shots before she realized the water.

Pop Quiz: Who is having more fun?

Answer: Duh, Justin.

But now that the heat has hit....we're stuck inside making up ideas of how to pass the time.

I swear to you that I did not stick her in this shoe box...she just plopped herself right in and played with mama's stiletto. (atta girl.)

Did I ever mention how graceful she is?...

In other news- Hannah has learned a new "trick."....(I say that as if she is a dog...but you know what I mean.) Being in the photog business, it's only right is my girl knows how to "smile" on cue. So, she learned to "say cheese!" She is in the very awkward stage of controting her face and looking at me for reassurance that she is "smiling." It's hilarious. Here are a few of her "smiles."

Oh goodness this girl has her mama's heart right where she wants it.

Stay cool everyone!
