Family dinner!

We ate dinner at Kurt's parent's house twice while there.  It was so nice to spend time with family!  You don't realize how much you love people until you're not around them.  Hope to see you all again soon!


The picture on the left was taken when Hattie was about a month old.  In the picture on the right Hattie's 15 months.  Love these pictures!

Pacific Science Center

After the funeral on Saturday there was lunch for the family.  Here's Hattie with (most of) her cousins!  And no, I'm not sure why William is holding up that picture!

After that a bunch of us (and Jeanette too!) went to the science center.  There as a spy exhibit which Lucas was very excited to see!  He's going to be a spy when he grows up.

These two REALLY wanted their pictures taken while sitting on the pig.  

In the spy exhibit there was a laser maze.  Kurt tried it out and I took pictures of the screen outside.  He looks like a ghost doing some crazy dance.

Fun with mirrors!

This was Hattie's favorite area!  She loved the car and slide.

Fun story- while in the spy exhibit I turned to Kurt and asked, "where's the stroller?!"  Yeah, we had left it outside.  Luckily it was still there when we got out of the exhibit.  Anyways- I thought Hattie was super cute sitting on this bench!  She loved looking through Jeanette's purse.  Seriously, that's all she wanted to do!

And here's one more of the Han kids!

We spent our first day up in Mt. Vernon.  We were able to see Lili, ate lunch with G-pa, and discovered (well, at the airport actually) that Hattie loves to push around the stroller.  She also looks cute sitting on top of a rock!

My favorite part of this video is at about 11 seconds when Hattie realizes she just walked by Moose and then doesn't know what to do!  She's not a big fan of dogs.

Back to Washington!

We made an unexpected trip to Washington last month.  Sadly, Kurt's Oma passed away and we went for the funeral.  Although we wished the circumstances were different we were happy to visit family.  I wasn't fortunate to know Oma well.  I do know that she loved her family greatly and that she would always light up and smile when spending time with Hattie.  I learned that she was an incredibly faithful woman who lived the gospel throughout her life despite trials and challenges.  That faith has passed down from generation to generation benefiting dozens and will continue to do so.  Thank you for your faith and example Oma!

Mt. Rainier- flying in to Seattle:

On the plane!

15 Months!

My oh my how time flies!  At 15 months Hattie is rapidly learning new words.  She has several down including: hi, bye, hello, mama, papa, ball, shoes, keys, cracker, please, thank you, no, and more!  She also knows what noises an elephant, horse, sheep, and cow make (the latter two she occasionally needs reminding).  If asked, she can point to her nose, ears, and sometimes eyes.  Her first two molars (on the bottom) have come in and the top two are on their way.  She gives hugs when asked!  Hattie also loves to open, close, and knock on doors.  She finally has high 5's down as well as how to use a straw.  She likes to play ring around the rosie and has a favorite blanket.  She also loves necklaces!  She's still a great eater and will try just about anything.  And she likes potatoes now!  Thank goodness, she was really missing out.  She amazes us every day!  Even on the rough days :)

Also, if you're interested, Hattie had her 15 month appointment.  She's a whopping 19.75lbs (8%) and 28.35in long (4%).  However, Hattie was SUPER upset and would not cooperate so they said the reading was probably inaccurate.  I measured her later that day and got around 29in which would put her more around 15%.  We love our little lady!

April

We haven't done too much since our trip to Washington.  Just the usual!  Here are some pictures from our everyday!

Hattie was very excited for the warmer weather- she got to wear shorts for the first time!

We have also learned that Hattie loves dirt!  The best toys are never anything you buy.

Hattie learned what to do with Q-tips!

She also LOVES cereal.  Especially the exact bowl of cereal that mom or dad are eating.

She's not sure what to do with these:

And Hattie loves to be outside!  Thankfully we live close to a few different parks.
