Baby Stroller or Doll Stroller?

So what do you think? Is this a baby stroller or a doll stroller?
It's a doll's stroller but under careful supervision from Nathan, Hannah enjoys the little stroller.

Kid's Room

When I had Hailey, everyone came up to me wanting to see the new baby. Generally the comments were: "She is a preemie?" "Oh, she's so beautiful!" Then I had Robert and when we all went out it seemed people had a hard time with that fact that I had a boy and a girl not too girls. But still people came up to me excited about a new baby. However, when I go out with three kids, the only comment I get is: "Wow, your hands are full!"

So even though the kids keep me on my toes, we figured out a great way for everyone to fit in one tiny room. Robert has the crib, Hailey has a toddler bed, and Hannah will have the portacrib. (Right now Hannah is in a moses basket by my bed.) I think the arrangement works out great especially since only books and stuffed animals are allowed in the room. All toys are downstairs.




For Christmas, we got a new dresser from my mother-in-law which has helped so much.
So it is possible to fit comfortably in a two bedroom apartment and I have no intent on moving until Nate's done with school because I love the community here.

Sunday

I love this pretty dress. And since I was in the picture taking mode, here we are reading for church.

Random Cute Pictures

Hannah loves the swing. I thought it was so cute how she is folding her hands as she swings.
I fall in love with Hannah everyday.
Robert is so sweet and joined Hannah during tummy time.
Hailey ended up joining the crowd.
Hannah's loved. I have a picture (somewhere) similar to this one of myself holding my baby brother, Kyle, around the neck trying to give him lovings.

One Month

Here are Hannah's one month pictures. She still have very little control over her body movements though is getting a strong neck.

A special thing about Hannah is that at night after she's done nursing, I hold her upright to burp her and she likes to stretch out her arms to give me a hug. I love cuddling my sweet baby and don't mind too much waking up twice during the night.

I love dressing up a little girl again. I had to pack up the preemie and newborn clothes and was very sad. I wonder about the possibility of never having another little girl to wear the cute clothes.

Hannah is also a pretty easy going baby as long as she is well fed. It takes a lot of poking and pulling from Robert to get her mad. Robert loves his new sister but has a hard time being soft.

Darlene and Dayne

Darlene and I were roommates in college and have stayed close ever since. She is my kid's adopted aunt. She's now married and pregnant. Her baby was due February 11th and Hannah was due Dec 15th so it was fun sharing pregnant stories together. This pregnant picture was taken at Hannah's baby blessing on January 3rd. After a semi rough pregnancy, baby Richard DeWayne Field III, known from now on as Dayne, was born January 14th.

He was a tiny but healthy baby (5 lbs 8oz) and I had the privilege to see him in the hospital that Saturday. He is so cute and it felt great holding a tiny baby again. (Hannah's growing too fast for my liking.)
The following Monday, I took the kids up to see Dayne. Hailey fell in love with him immediately. She told us that Hannah and Dayne are best friends. It's fun to see the comparison between the two babies since they are a month apart.

So...Welcome baby Dayne to Idaho!!!

Baby Blessing

Hannah Marie Clements was blessed on January 4th. It was so great to be surround by family since we missed the big family gathering for Christmas. Since the blessing is a sacred and private thing, it's not being posted here on the Internet but I am thankful to have Nathan as our strong priesthood leader.
Here's Nathan's family.
Here's my family.
And here's Darlene and Wayne with us.

After church we had a luncheon at the commons.
And of course, Hannah's first cake.

Since I got professional pictures of Hannah in her dress, I forgot to get some from on own computer. However, I like this dress a lot and it is her own special dress but just a hand-me-down. (Hailey's dress would have been too big for Hannah.)
