February 10 - Hannah, Hannah

Greetings bean fans! I am still searching for my usb cable. I've decided to just buy a new one this weekend so I can start uploading photos. I am sure you are all going into 'Julia Withdrawal' without your weekly dose of dimpled cuteness. Luckily, my wonderful sister-in-law posted a photo of the bean on her blog so I am copying it here. This photo was taken a few weeks ago when she was staying with Grandma Yamo. As you all know, our little bean LOVES cats and all she wanted to do was snuggle with old man K.C. That included hugging and snuggling with him in his cat bed. Beyond adorable!!

In other news, Julia is spending more time with her 2.5 yr old friend Hannah, and they are really cute together. Sometimes they hold hands and run around. It is enough to make any one's heart melt. We have a little table that they eat at together....I will get a photo soon and post it!! Julia also loves to say 'Hannah Hannah Hannah' and chants it all the time. Her other favorites now include nodding her head yes or no and saying 'no.' She also loves her monkey themed bathroom and has been attempting to do a forward roll (without our prompting).

Oh-I forgot to mention that we did a mom-tot gymnastics class this past weekend and the bean L-O-V-E-D it. She especially loved the beam and wanted to walk across it the whole time. I'm probably going to sign up for weekly classes so I'll try to get some photos.

And how adorable are my niece and nephew (Victoria and Andrew)? Jules and I plan to fly out sometime in the next few months to visit. I am so excited to see them both (and of course, psyched to see Greg and Jill too). I can't wait to pinch Andrew's chubby little cheeks! And see the girls play together. I really hope we are able to get together a few times a year so the kids grow up as cousins and more importantly, friends.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
