Summertime with Hannah

Here are some pics of Hannah eating a bananna with her grandmother. She's mainly been eating puréed vegetables like green beans and peas in addition to formula.

She is fascinated with food and loves to "help" me cook in the kitchen and stares down our food at dinner. Alexis, Hannah and I were pictured in the News-Press in June for my new web site Recipe for Fatherhood.com. You can read the text of that article which exclaimed "Mom's aren't the only ones that can multi-task" at the site's blog

Recent medical visits seem like she was never just 4 lbs and 1 ounce. She weighs 17 lbs now which is 2 lbs more than she should at this stage -- there is no concern about it but we are happy she seems to have caught up to her actual age -- rather than her adjusted 6 week difference.

I continue to consult for various organizations and have recently designed direct mail for Child Abuse Listening and Mediation, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics and also State Street Ballet. Alexis launced her new mobile notary business at sbmobilenotary.com and continues to work part-time at First American Title for a few hours a day.

I haven't blogged as much as I'd like as we've been so busy with this beatiful little girl who requires so much attention! I'll continue to do the best I can to keep you updated in words and pictures...
