Hannah has discovered her toys now. She not only holds a rattle but will shake it back and forth vigorously... usually wacking herself in the head and leg, but not slowing her down. She's starting to roll over occasionally. She's making more and more noise, especially in the mornings when she likes to squawk away at her toys and her Dad.

Camping in the Steens

Hannah went on her first camping trip... successfully. We were in the Steens mountains in mid-Eastern Oregon. Dave will tell you that it is a continental rift rising out of the high dessert. It is a long sloping plateau on one side with dramatic drops and gorges on the eastern side. We were there for our friends Leanne and Clint's wedding... quite a beautiful spot. She was such a trooper and did very well with camping out, although she was wide-eyed and ready to play at 4 a.m. with the full moon... so we took a little stroll under the moonlight.
