This boy has stolen our hearts. More to come later.

Hannah Speaks!

12.16.13
Hannah was going to take a nap and Paul said, "Sweet dreams!" Hannah quickly responded, "no, I'm a good girl!" Paul laughed, "I know you're a good girl. I said sweet dreams"
Hannah: "nooooooooo!"

"Not mommy sing" :(

11.3.13
Hannah asks to "do it Hannah self" or simply "Hannah's self"
She pronounces fruit snacks "fruit mwacks" (like a kiss) and says snakes and anything else "sn" the same way. It's adorable.
She can also say "like it" or "no like it" or our favorite "not-that-one!"
10.9.13
Hannah asks for "more some" when she wants more. She also knows that if she wants something we don't have she can ask "buy some?" She loves to sing songs and talk on any "phone" she can make do with saying "hi Nana! Hi Papa!" or my favorite "Hi Nana. Bye!"

Her first words (in order of arrival):

Mama
Aaah!
Dadda
Papa

Beba (Aunt Bekah)

Nana

Sha sha (Aunt Sharon)
Jesus! (whispered excitedly)

Hass-a (outside)

Duh (doggie)

Kee kee (kitty)
