I almost forgot to tag four people =)

My Aunts Lesley and Lilian, My mom, and Rosalie.

The Phone is Ringing!

I was talking to Hannah's nursery leader on Tuesday night and she said "Oh Hannah is so funny, last Sunday she had a pink phone squished between her shoulder and ear and she was pushing a fake vacuum and was talking to someone."

She gave me away.

I am a phone talker. I love talking on the phone and I can talk to various people for up to two hours a day (usually while Hannah is napping but obviously she catches me sometimes. Example set.)

Hannah has become a phone talker/texter. If you've ever recieved a call or a text from her which usually looks something like this: sldfjlsuikdlsdfjasodf but occasionally she presses the quick text button and comes up with a phrase. My favorite was when Adam and I were hanging out and he got a text from "me" that said "I'm in a meeting."

She loves to call Gama, Gampa, Sohn, and Mehee. She also calls Rosalie and Caitlin, and Cait's husband Richard on occasion. In the picture above she was talking to Adam since he isn't coming home until late tonight. (She'd also just woken up from a nap so please excuse the hair :)

My funny girl!

Discovering the world around.

Last night was Bunco night and because of some crazy scheduling I needed to take Hannah with me and lay her down at my friend's house so that Adam could pick her up about 45 minutes later, that way neither of us missed out on school or Bunco (I haven't been out with my friends for several months so I was in need of a night out, and Chelsea just told me I could lay Hannah down to sleep at her house until Adam got home).

Since we only have one car, I was walking over to Bunco with my stroller, singing primary music to Hannah and trying to get her to be in a sleepy mood. It was a dark, peaceful time of night and there was nothing much for Hannah to look at except where the dog barking was coming from. Suddenly she pointed upward and with this amazed look on her face she said "MAMA!" because it was such a big reaction to whatever it was, I stopped and crouched down beside her. Her eyes were fixated skyward and her mouth was gaping open. "What do you see Hannah?" I asked.

"STARS!" Was her amazed reply.

We had read about stars, we sing songs about stars, we talk about the moon and the stars and she'd see the moon a lot, but it is hard to see stars in Las Vegas so I've never really pointed them out to her, sure enough it was a clear night and you could see many stars in the sky. We sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star together" and she would not take her eyes off the stars she had just discovered. It was so sweet.

So next time we are on a walk I won't go so fast, in case we both miss something that I have long ago discovered, that would be a wonder to her.

She Said What? 2/13/11

I have to start recording the things Hannah comes up with because she cracks me up.

Yesterday I was wondering out loud "What should I feed you Hannah?" She had some suggestions for me.

Hannah: Pizza
Mommy: No pizza
Hannah: Cookie?
Mommy: No cookies silly, this is dinner.
Hannah: Elmo? (she went to a birthday party and they served Elmo Cupcakes)
Mommy: No cupcakes, we need to eat something healthy.
Daddy: Cake!
Hannah: Uh huh! Cake!
Mommy: No need to contribute Daddy.

Today she has been sick and I asked "how do you feel?" She replied "yucky." Broke my heart.

Today I was making sugar cookies and Hannah said "some?" I let her watch on the counter and she was very interested. I took a taste from a spoon to give to her and she liked it apparently because when I turned my back to throw something in the sink she stuck the spoon back in the bowl and came up with a big spoonful and started sucking it down. Adam asked "Is that yummy or yucky?" Hannah said "Yucky." I'll bet.

She is so much fun. I love her so much. She loves playing in the backyard and helping Mommy or Daddy around the house. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with.
