Are we teaching our daughter bad habits? I think she has her mommy's taste buds for whipped cream.

Zoo Fun

We took a trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo a couple weeks ago with Amy and Ali. We had a lot of fun, Hannah was most entertained by the flamingos and the playground. The attention span of a 10 month old at a zoo is 2 hours max. By the time we got to the elephants she was more interested in the plants surrounding the enclosure than the elephants.

Happy Birthday to Daddy

We celebrated Chris' birthday Friday the 19th. My mom was in town so Chris and I got a WHOLE night away. I mean out to dinner, spending the night at the Bella Maggiore Inn, breakfast in the morning, and then going back home. Thank you Mom! And since I am in the middle of a cake decorating class, I was able to decorate a birthday cake as well.

Football Frenzy

Hannah attended her first college football game on Labor Day. We went to the Rose Bowl for the UCLA-Tennessee game. Chris' parents, Bruno and Anne, came down to celebrate their anniversary, visit with Hannah and go to the game with us. It was a fun experience, after Hannah took a nap during the second quarter, and overall a very exciting game. UCLA won 27-24 in overtime. Hannah was a champ and even clapped enthusiastically during most of the game.

So August was another busy month for us. I can't believe it's already September! Here are a few favorite pictures from the last month. And by the way, Hannah is walking! Stay tuned for video of our speed racer.

Hannah and Auntie Megan



After playing with the stereo, she somehow programed it turn on at midnight. What a surprise to us!
