I just wanted to briefly write down some of the things we have observed so far about Hannah:
5 Things she loves:
1. Food. I have only found 2 things she won't eat: grapes and oranges.
2. Drinks. Any kind. At any time of day.
3. Baths. She and Xander had a water fight tonight and she thought it was great.
4. Music. She likes to listen to it, she also likes to sing, and she likes me to sing to her.
5. Mommy's undivided attention. 'Nuff said.
5 Things she doesn't like:
1. Going to Sleep. Once she's asleep, she's great. Just getting her to buy into the idea......
2. Any kind of dirt or crumb on her hands.
3. Being told she can't type on daddy's computer.
4. Being blamed for everything by Alexander. Yep, it's started already. :)
5. Mommy having the nerve to think she can eat a meal without feeding it all to her; or pay attention to anyone else for even a second.
Observations about Hannah (and I know some may be said of any 2-year-old, but still):
1. She loves to tease and she's funny, too!
2. She loves to be cuddled - yeah!
3. She loves to be tickled and will let me know when she wants to be tickled.
4. She wants to eat pretty much all the time. She loves yogurt. Yesterday we went to the store and she was upset about going into the store. I picked her up and carried her inside, then when we got back to the dairy section I was looking for milk and turned around and she had filled the basket with yogurt and was quite proud of herself.
5. When we go outside to go somewhere, she immediately says, "high" and wants me to pick her up. I tell her she's fine and she can walk and she's pretty good for a little while before she tries again.
6. She has learned to sign "more" and uses it without prompting. We are now working on "please".
7. She calls me "mama", "mommy", or "mom".
8. If I try to change her diaper and she's not wet, she'll refuse to lay down. Today she brought me a diaper and laid down. Sweet.
9. She is curious about everything. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.
10. She is loving and sweet and kind and happy and so very cute!
