Happy birthday, baby girl!!!

Happy Birthday, Hannah!! Notice the scrape to her left eye...that's what happens when you are running with your hands in your pockets! Now which little girl that we all know would do something like that?


"I'm 2!"


Reading a birthday card with Mommy.


"Wah-i-fy" Could mean butterfly or flower. From Hannah, the words sound identical, but she knows the difference.


Hannah got this beautiful doll from her Grandma Kathy. Once she opened it, she didn't want to put it down.

Showing off her new Dora trike complete with lights and noises (what were we thinking??!!)

David, Hannah, and Jeremiah. We couldn't get Hannah to stop saying "I'm 2, I'm 2."

Hannah will be having a "real" birthday party at the end of the month with her friend Charlie, who turned 2 yesterday. For now, here are some new things Hannah can do:
Hannah can count to 3, skips 4, then goes straight to 5 and 6.
She can navigate the stairs alone (scary - yes!)
She writes, colors, eats, and gets things with her left hand - almost ALWAYS!
She likes to help out with Mommy's make up - especially lipstick "wips".
She tells the dogs where to go and what to do! In her defense - she also likes to give them treats.
She can screech at the top of your lungs and you think that your eardrums will burst before she is done.
She cleans up her own toys.
She says "Hannah" for herself instead of "Nah-Nuh".
She pretends to talk on the phone ALL the time. You think she is training for later??
She can take off all of her clothes, and put on her shirt and shoes by herself.
She has 18 teeth - yes 18! She has her 6 year molars on the bottom. Yikes!
She says, "Watch me!" and does something funny.
She says, "I go bye-bye." all the time, then after about 5 minutes in the car, she says, "Go home."
She tries to feed and diaper all her baby dolls.
She tries to sing songs like "Jesus Loves Me" and the theme song to "My Friends Tigger and Pooh".
She likes to pretend that she is going to drive the car. Of course, this is usually while I am trying to hurry and get her buckled in because we are running late for something!
She drinks out of a regular cup without spilling.
She doesn't wear a bib.
She can unscrew bottle caps.
She likes to eat junk food. Oh, the pleasures of raising 2 generations of children at the same time!
She likes to read, and takes a book to bed with her after we say prayers.
She likes to eat ice and says "cold".

We are so incredibly blessed!
