Hannah at the half

Hannah is 6 months old now. WHOA. 

Time flies when you are having fun. 

Time also flies when you aren't sleeping, are still in a baby-fog,

 and don't quite have your feet under you yet after adding child number 3. 

Or so I've heard.

I thought I would give a mini update on our mini person.

We decided that at 6 months old it was about time to finish the nursery. 

Here are some pictures. I love how it turned out. 

We even managed to keep the futon in there, so we still technically have a "guest room."

It's the one room in the house I am managing to keep clean consistently,

 which makes it a little oasis for me.

Hannah has thrown me for a loop since, well, conception really. She surprised us when she decided to come into our family sooner than we had planned, she surprised me that she was a girl (I was TOTALLY convinced she was a boy due to how different her pregnancy was from her sisters), and she has surprised me these past 6 months because she is such a different baby than my other two.

Sam and Abby were on a super predictable schedule by 5 months, sleeping through the night, napping, and eating at predictable intervals. I used to feel proud of myself for being really good at the baby stage. Well, that prideful feeling has flown right out the window thanks to Hannah. This baby marches to her own beat, but I can't figure out what that beat is exactly.  I AM SO TIRED.

The good news is that when Hannah is awake she is quite happy. She is also a super smiley baby, which helps with the sleep deprivation and frustration of not knowing how a day is going to go...ever.

Baby Hannah is enthralled with her sisters...and a little terrified of them too. She loves babbling, playing with her toes, is extremely ticklish, and has recently started growling which is hilarious. She is constantly flailing those little limbs and loves being on her tummy, in the ERGO, and where the action is. She moved into her own room at 5 months and it felt like I was sending a kid to college.

I look at her sweet face and can't imagine our family without her. Each month that goes by our family feels more complete. I used to think I wanted four kids, but I am so overwhelmed with three I can't really imagine one more. If adoption is in our future God will have to make it very clear. (I have already made it very clear I will not be pregnant again!).

I am constantly overwhelmed with the blessing of these three wonderful girls, and that is enough.
