February Update

Hannah is 21 months old today! She asked Daddy for some chocolate today at lunch. Some days I am amazed at the words she knows. I don't even know where she has learned some of them.

I managed to fall last night and bust up my knee. Same knee I fell on when I was pregnant with Hannah. It swelled a little last night, we iced it right away. It looks better today. The swelling is gone, but it hurts so bad. I am surprised it is not totally bruised. Ben thinks I bruised the bone. Luckily I didn't break anything. We were debating on going to the ER, but decided that we would wait to see how it was today, and it is better.

I found out Friday that we have to go to school until May 29th now because of make-up days. We were going to get out on May 24th. I am hoping we don't miss anymore school! This winter has been crazy! In the 60's in December and then freezing and yucky in February!

Ben is getting ready for a video shoot this week. His boss hurt his back and hasn't been there, so Ben has ended up sort of in charge. He is nervous that his boss won't be back in time for the shoot, and he doesn't want to be in charge since he has never done this before.

Mom is coming March 6th. She is coming to stay with Hannah while Pam goes to visit Baby Bentley. Baby Bentley is due to make his appearance around March 15th. We are excited about being Aunt Janell and Uncle Ben.

Hannah's New Hat



Hannah thinks this is a her hat. She calls it that and giggles. She is silly! She won't leave a real hat on her head, but she will "wear" a trash can!

Muncie Children's Museum

After the Children's Fair we headed next door to the Muncie Children's Museum. The last Saturday of the month is a free admission day. Hannah enjoyed her time playing, but we only stayed about an hour because it was so busy and Hannah was ready for a nap. The cool thing was we got a free book when we were leaving. It is called Animal Orchestra and was donated by the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. Hannah fell asleep before we were even out of the parking lot!

Dinosaurs, Water, and Trains OH MY!










We played in the Dinosaur Dig and found a dinosaur bone. Then we played in the big water table. Hannah liked that a lot, but wasn't too sure about having her hands dried off with the blow drier. Then we watched the trains and played with the train table.

A Visit to Down Under










There was an Australia exhibit upstairs. Hannah liked the kangaroos. She brought everyone of them to Daddy. She also liked the tunnel and ran back and forth in it.

A Car and Some Stairs










Hannah liked the car because it was like a computer, but Hannah LOVED the stairs. We probably spent 25-30 minutes just climbing up and down the stairs. She even had a little friend for awhile. She would go up walk around and come down and just did that over and over again!

Spinners and Climbers






Hannah enjoyed the spinners on the table and climbing on the little climber. It had things inside that you could do, like zippers, puppets, and other things.

Children's Fair










We went to the WIPB-PBS Ready to Learn Children's Fair. Hannah got to meet Molly from The Big Comfy Couch. We also got to see Rachel Coleman from Signing Time preform with Hopkins the frog. Hannah enjoyed the show because it had lots of singing and signing. We learned the colors of the rainbow in sign language. I didn't know those before so it was educational for Mommy too!

Big Shoes to Fill






Hannah found Daddy's slippers and put them on her feet. She tried to walk around in them, but wasn't very successful!
