What a Difference a Year Makes

I came across this picture from last June...almost one year ago to the day! Look at how much she has changed and how much her hair has grown! Jim and I joke around that she is a "little person" now.

The white stuff on her face is powdered donut. I needed to run into Fry's (really quickly) to get just ONE thing...and of course at the door they had complimentary coffee and donuts. Hannah begged me for one (just by the look on her face, those sweet little puppy dog eyes), so she of course got her way! Then on the way out, she said, "more cake," and yes, everyone, she got another one! Don't worry--they were just the mini donuts, not the full-size ones!

Hannah's vocabulary is really growing lately. She is speaking in phrases and sometimes even sentences! It is really amazing all of the words she picks up. Here are some of her most common ones:

Kitty cat naughty

Tayla lay down (Taylor the dog)

I hungy

I want tweat (treat)

I want milk/water

I go downstess (downstairs)

Dada go outside

Sometimes she refers to herself in the third person, which is also a hoot!

Hannah silly

Hannah poo poo (she is starting to tell me when she does this!)

Hannah toot toot (yes, this too--sorry for all the potty talk!)

Hannah's toys

Hannah's soos (shoes)

Hannah do it

Some of her words sound a lot like each other, and can be tough to decipher, unless of course you use the process of elimination to figure them out:

cackis= glasses

cackis=crackers

bocket=bucket

bocket=blanket

Other cute words:

beppus=pretzels

ookies=cookies

bips=chips

bengin=penguin

ocean=lotion

sunscween=sunscreen

In the bath the other night, she was holding two bubble wands. She held them up and said, "I have two!" We do a lot of counting...but this was so cute. She has done this a few other times with other objects.

Last but not least...this is Hannah singing the ABC song:

" a c c c w c c c a n o p "
