Happy 2nd Birthday Hannah!

It is hard to believe that Hannah will be two years old tomorrow.  I will update with pictures and videos from her party tomorrow evening, but wanted to give an update.  I printed the blog in a bound version a few months ago, and plan to do it again in a year or two so that Hannah will have it as her baby book.  With that in mind, I want to capture some of her interests and milestones at age 2.

  • Sings constantly: ABCs (she knows the whole thing), Twinkle Twinkle, Ring Around the Rosie, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Happy Birthday, Baa Baa, Black Sheep
  • Talks when she isn't singing - Hannah has an opinion about EVERYTHING and her vocabulary amazes me
  • Counts to 15
  • Tells you her age, and first and last name
  • Walks up and down stairs if you hold her hand - can do short flights herself
  • Has peed on the potty three times
  • Has memorized the majority of her books and reads them by herself
  • Can blow out her own candles - we've been practicing
  • Loves her dolls - she feeds them, changes them and puts them to bed
  • Takes gymnastics class and is getting really close to doing somersaults
  • Climbs out of the pool herself if you get her to the edge
  • Is scared to death of toys that seem to come to life (Dance Star Mickey)
  • Says "bless you" whenever someone sneezes, and will always kiss your boo boos unsolicited to make you feel better
  • Loves arts and crafts, especially play dough - she always tells you "we don't eat it" when you give her play dough
  • Chews on everything still, not sure that she will ever stop (but not play dough...)
  • Loves all animals, and lately has been frustrated that the wild birds won't let her pet them
  • Watches Micky Mouse, Oso, Handy Manny and Nemo
  • Has an obsession with sprinkles, which she calls "Frinkles," but rarely eats much else
There are a million other things to say about Hannah, but I won't bore everyone.  We can't wait to see what the coming year will bring, because Hannah just gets more amazing each day.  We are lucky to have such a wonderful daughter, and can't wait to celebrate her 2nd birthday tomorrow!
