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??!!)
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!

Silly girl!
Hannah has learned to stick her tongue out. Now that in itself is not a bad thing - I mean there are several reasons that you might want to stick out your tongue such as licking ice cream, or catching snowflakes on your tongue. However I have a feeling that she is not really trying to do something "fun" as much as she has seen how much disapproval this gets from Mommy. Then again, maybe that is fun...
Hannah's orphanage sisters: Kambry, Mia-riel, and Adrianna are all turnig 2 this month also, so Hannh thought it would be nice to "sign" the cards herself. Happy birthday!! Notice the pen in her LEFT hand...could she be a SOUTHPAW??!!

Big girl bed!
We decided that Hannah needed to move to a big girl bed for her second birthday. However, I got a little bored one day at home, and decided to put it together a little early. Well, since it was together, we decided to go ahead and try her out in it. She did great! Here she is napping for the very first time in her new toddler bed!

Frogger!
Notice how the pile of clean laundry on my bed is photoshopped out of this picture. I sure wish it got put away that easily!!
Looks like she is up to something...plotting her next move!

Frohe Ostern!
Hannah had a lovely day with her new Easter dress and her bunny basket filled with tiny eggs. She got up this morning to discover these treasures along with a Dora video and a new set of Dora dishes. this little girl LOVES Dora. Did I say that she LOVES Dora? I really mean it. I am certain that Hannah has Dora radar. She can pick out Dora from a hundred yards away.
Anyway, we got up this morning and opened our Easter candy - which Hannah promptly ate her fill of, then wouldn't eat a real breakfast (even out of her new Dora bowl)! Then we got dressed, took some pictures and went to church. Church was awesome as we got to celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the dead and conquered death so that we could live eternally in heaven. He is so amazing!
After we got home, I would love to tell you that we had a really cool Easter egg hunt for Hannah,
but would you have guessed that it was snowing outside? You
got it...we haven't hardly had any snow at all this winter, but then spring came and it has been
snowing ever since! Unfortunately, it was melting almost as fast as it was snowing, but everything looked nice and white all day. Too wet for an Easter egg hunt, though. That's OK, though, because she got to enjoy hanging out with us instead. And, we got to watch the new Dora video this afternoon.
Now the precious girl has settled down for the night, but not before she got to talk to her grandparents on the phone. She may not say much on the phone, but she is all grins and laughs!
I hope that you had as blessed of a day as we did.

Some Days You Just Don't Want Your Picture Taken...
Ah, such is the life in the days of the toddler years!
