Catch Up from May

As usual, my post begins by explaining that I have been a horrible blogger and haven't made a post in over a month...also let me add that when one doesn't blog often enough, her posts are REALLY long when she finally does.

It seemed like the month of May lasted about 5 days...it went by really fast!

Hannah was invited to a Princess birthday party for her friend Diane. She was soooo excited to dress up and go to the party! She loved the bouncy house...
...and the pizza was pretty yummy too!
Hannah really hasn't been too interested in going in the pool. This happened last summer. It is so disappointing--we have this refreshing pool in the backyard (gated of course), and all she wants to do is walk around it. She hates to be splashed and has an absolute meltdown if water gets in her face! I bought her this Dora float ring, hoping it would motivate her, and this is what happened:

She just "floated" on our bed. She starts swim lessons tomorrow...I may have to leave the state while she has her lessons. She will be a tough student!

I love this picture...just enjoying a popsicle (NOT after swimming, of course).
On Memorial Day, we went to my sister Jasmyn's house. They had some water activities going on. It took about an hour, but she finally decided she could touch the Slip 'N Slide.

But, time for a quick nap. Standing on the Slip 'N Slide is really tiring...
It took more negotiating to get her in the little pool (this makes zero sense to me), but her she is sitting down. She doesn't look very happy though...
Last week, Hannah's babysitter had a little "graduation ceremony" for the preschoolers, as Hannah will soon be moving to the 3-year old curriculum (say it isn't so! My baby...) This totally cracked me up--look at these little gowns! She even had little hats for them, but she misplaced them before the ceremony, so they kind of look like they are just in a choir!
Hannah is soooo serious--no beach ball throwing for this one!
Later they had some outdoor activities. In front of her is a snow cone--I don't know if she got brain freeze or what, but after two bites she wanted nothing to do with it (again, I often wonder if my child could possibly be from Mars!)
Now time for the ring toss--no cheating involved!
I call this one "Hannah Potato Head"
A few weeks ago, we had an afternoon graduation party to go to. Hannah opted out of her nap that day. She normally takes a 1.5-2 hour nap in the afternoon still. So, of course, at about 4:15, she completely conked out in the car. That was a fun afternoon, let me tell ya.
I love this picture! Hannah is still practicing her smile. She really loves Taylor, they are buddies!
Time for bubbles!
Another edition of the Hannah Funnies:

Hannah: "Mommy, I talking. I talking mommy. Mommy. MOMMY! I talking. I am. I talking.

"Mommy, can I have a bite of your drink?"

"Oh no, daddy has muddy on his shoes!"

"Mommy I like apples. I eat them sometimes. I not going to eat this apple now. I don't want it. I like apples." (Hannah is extremely limited with fruits and veggies---she won't touch them. I am finally bribing her into at least eating a bite or two. The conversation above was after eating a few bites of apple).

"Mommy, I'm pooping. I'm pooping." ( I checked her pull-up and she had not pooped--so I said, " Where, in your imagination?") Hannah replied, "No, in my butt!!!"
