23 Months Old!

Almost TWO...wow! We had a backyard "beach" day and Hannah loved it! We played outside all morning, even had lunch outside - crashing hard for her nap, but as soon as she woke up, Hannah wanted to go back to the beach! I love to listen to Hannah talk when she wakes up...no telling what sweet little stories she shares! She speaks in short phrases and is doing well with her vocabulary, alphabet (can almost say it without missing letters), and counting (10+ with a little help!). She loves singing "Wheels on the Bus" - definitely her favorite right now - as well as reading "Ten in the Bed" (and the little one said roll over...) Llama llama books, and anything Elmo or Abby. Play dough is a new favorite playtime activity, still loves coloring, and "cooking" and "baking" in her kitchen are popular too! If you ask her what she is making, the most common responses are cookies, soup, or tacos! She is also totally in love with her Little People Royal Princess Coach - so cute!



Hannah loves playing "ou-side!" (outside) and is always "ready go!" (ready to go) when I grab my keys and bag! Love to hear her say "peas" (please) and "tank you" (thank you) as well as "welcome" (your welcome). My current favorite is "jamas" for pajamas...she says it with emphasis on JA, so funny! She can almost turn the pedals on her trike, opens doors (yikes!), blows bubbles, and whispers and yells (we are working on our "inside" and "outside" volumes). She is becoming rascally at restaurants...not wanting to stay in her chair for very long - sigh - but her appetite is alright and she still is a pretty good little eater! She loves milk and apple juice, cookies, noodles and "apples" (the squeeze pouches of applesauce)- these are the most requested items. Hannah always wants a napkin when she eats as well as a fork or spoon, and does not want to wear bibs anymore. She also takes off her shoes a lot...but does do a great job of putting them back on properly!


Cows and horses make her so happy - yes, we do live in the country...and pass lots of animals when we go out! When we don't spot the cows, Hannah always responds with "shhh, ni-night, cows are ni-night!" Too cute! Love this little girl so much - excited to celebrate two years next month!
