Another moment from the life of Hannah...

I wanted to try to post more regularly...yay...so here goes...

Today Hannah got a pair of shoes today...from a neighbor whose child is 3 months YOUNGER than Hannah, but her feet are one size larger... :) She had shoes that we bought her, but somehow we lost one of the pair...must be lost with my keys also... we basically couldn't find either after our Houston trip awhile back.

She's not napping well...

She loves singing & she hums... attempts to sing ABC and says 123, and repeats other songs & tunes that she hears. Does all the signs for "Popcorn Popping" and "head shoulders knees & toes"

She says lots of words/phrases:
"shoe" (one of her favorite words)

"animal" is "an-ml" (sorta sounds like el-mo)
"hippo"
"bug"
"doggie"
"mao" for cat (chinese for cat)
"moo" for cow
"wu gui" for turtle (chinese for turtle)
and some more animals...which i cannot remember... one of her favorite books right now is this animal book full of cute drawings of animals

of course she says "book" a lot

body parts include:
"elbow" is "el-pol" (sounds like elbow and apple)
"ankle"
"knee"
"nose"
"eyes"

"thank you" = "day dew" or something to that extent
"please" = "pease = "peas" = "pee" (these all sound really similar)

"on"
"off"
"box"

people include: daddy, mommy, a-ma, a-yi, and her friends' names (stanley, anya, addy, ella)

and of course here are some photos.

The story behind these is that we were trying to get photos of daddy. But Hannah insisted on lining up and being right beside daddy doing what he was doing. over and over. it was quite funny. she'd just stand there and not budge, next to him. they'd look at each other...then she'd move...and end up right next to him again.





these are not the same photo...it's what she was doing...and i wasn't using continuous shutter either. these are of her over a period of a few minutes just standing there next to daddy. we finally got some without her...but then she was back again.

...and Yes, that is a toilet paper roll holder from the bathroom...she likes to take things apart.

and here's a shot of daddy when he was staring at our backyard... (we have a really sad looking back yard - in a nutshell)...so he's probably contemplating, should we...? or not? (spend more money on it...or fill in the blank of whatever he's really thinking)?
