*Although Susan is technically Julie's cousin, she gets "aunt" status by (1) driving from PA while Julie was in the hospital to visit for an afternoon and give her a wheelchair ride & foot massage; (2) driving straight to the hospital from a 14-hour workday to be there for the delivery to provide support for Julie and then staying the night at the hospital with Julie; (3) taking care of Julie in the hospital after Hannah was born so Jon could do 6 weeks of lesson plans for work (including helping give Julie a bath after the long time on bedrest had her too weak to stand, helping Julie learn to pump and helping her relax while pumping, screening phone calls when Julie didn't feel like talking to people, and driving a crying Julie home when she was discharged without the baby); and (4) taking a week off work to help take care of Hannah when she came home from the hospital.

Aunts & Uncles
Hannah has lots of aunts and uncles to love on her. Most of them weren't able to meet her until she came home from the hospital. Here are pictures of all of the doting aunts and uncles -- ready to spoil our little one!

2 Months Old!
Hannah is two months old today.
She celebrated by watching lots of basketball on TV with Daddy, playing with her cousin Liam, taking lots of naps, having some tummy time, being held by just about everyone, and getting a bath. She also got to meet her Uncle Daniel for the first time. It was a very busy day for a little girl.

6 Pounds!
Hannah and I just got back from a visit with the pediatrician...and our little girl now weighs 6 lbs., 3 oz. She's growing so fast. If I were still pregnant, today would mark the start of week 38, so my due date is approaching! It is hard to believe she is almost 8 weeks old. In some ways it seems like she just arrived, since she's only been home for a little over 2 weeks....but I don't think we remember much about life before her arrival.

What a cute little girl!
Mommy & Hannah
Here are some random "Hannah Faces" pictures. She is a very expressive little girl and she makes all sorts of funny faces and is constantly on the move! (I won't post the 20 pictures my mom took last week trying to catch her "smiling"....she never did get one.)
Swinging Good Times...
Here are some pictures from Hannah's first time in her swing. She was very alert yesterday afternoon, so I put her in the swing and although she didn't know what to think, she didn't seem to mind it.



Some recent visitors have commented that they thought Hannah would be bigger in person based on the pictures on the website....so if you want a size comparison to a "normal" baby, Hannah's cousin Liam has swing pictures posted on the Cassidy Family Blog (there is a link to the right), and Liam is only 11 days older than Hannah.
