Happy 2nd Birthday!

Hannah turned two last Friday. Here is "the bow picture" from last year and this year. Wow. What a difference a year makes. We went for her 2 year old check-up yesterday afternoon and everything looks good, even her ears. They were clear and her tubes were "white and clear". Excellent. He said she looked great, and seemed to be ahead of the curve for her age group developmentally.

Here are a few highlights:

• 27 pounds, 56th %
• 35 inches tall, 82nd %
• daytime potty trained
• can put on every article of clothing independently (shoes do get mixed up occasionally)
• recognizes that letters are "ABCs" but doesn't really recognize individual letters - she will however recognize if her name is on something
• talks constantly and can be understood most of the time
• talks in complete sentences most of the time, using details ("I want that one way up high.")
• likes most foods, but has "on" days and "off" days
• loves animals (especially Kodak and the cats next door)
• Loves her babies, books (she lets you know if you skip words or pages!), and balls
  
• Runs everywhere and is famous for her "peg leg dance
  
• can hop with two feet leaving the ground
• loves music and dancing
• gets very excited for "projects"
• has to buckle herself into her seats
• can count to 20 but gets stuck a lot after 14
• loves to sing songs and say her prayers
  

Wow, I know there is so much more, but I think you can see how proud we are of her :)

I have so many more pictures to share, and am probably just going to link to a page, as I have too many favorites to upload them all onto this blog. Stay tuned!
