Walking and Talking much? Ummm no

Hannah is changing by the minute.  Everyday is different which can be expected at this age.  She is trying to talk and listening to every word you say very closely.  She says bear, ball, touch, dad, up, pup pup for her puppy.  She says other things but who really knows or understands her.  If you ask her what sound a bee makes she will buzzzzzzz and if you ask her what sound a dog makes she will woof.  It is very cute.  She is learning a ton right now and paying very close attention to everything we do.

She loves to walk around but she will only do it if she is holding your hand.  It has become a crutch for her and we are trying to break her of the habit.  She will take steps on her own (up to 5) and she likes to stand and balance by herself... but she is so hesitant to walk.  In time she will be off!

She loves to turn lights on and off, play with buttons/switches and open/shut cupboards.  I let her stand in the kitchen and play with them and it drives Jamey crazy that I let her do that.  She is having fun.

Hannah is really a sweet sweet baby.  She loves to cuddle, she loves laying on soft things like her monkey rug or even the rug in the kitchen and she LOVES stuffed animals!!  She sleeps with a bear and her Hannah pillow and I will sometimes find her sleeping with her head on her pillow like a big girl.  She is always happy as well.  She is always laughing and playing.  She loves loves loves Emma to death and Emma can do no wrong in her eyes.  Even if Emma tackles her, she laughs.  Obviously, I'm not happy when Emma does that but Hannah doesn't mind.

She likes to play games too.  She knows that Emma's bunnies are off limits.  But Emma has been carrying around her bunnies in the house lately and if she puts them down Hannah will go and get them.  She will then laugh and run away with them.  I think it is hilarious, Emma, not so much.

Emma and Hannah love taking baths with one another.  Emma likes to wash Hannah's hair and Hannah loves to wash Emma's back and torso.  It is so cute to see them interact in the bath together and help each other out.  I really hope their sweet relationship continues through childhood and into their adult years.  They really do love being around each other and playing together.

Hannah likes to run away from us now when it is time to get her dressed at night.  She is just like Emma in that way -- naked baby on the loose.  She laughs and laughs and it is a fun game for her.  You can't help but laugh too because her sweet laugh is infectious.
