Hannah is officially 2 1/2 years old now. She seems to be growing up right before my eyes. I can't believe how time flies. Here's what she's up to these days:
*She is now wearing 2T pants, 2T and 3T tops, and size 8 shoes.
*She is working on potty training. Well, I'm working on potty training her, more like it. So far, she hasn't shown very serious interest, but we ask her if she wants to sit on it as soon as she wakes up in the morning and from her nap and continue to ask her all day long. Sometimes she does take her diaper off and sit on it. Then something will distract her and off she'll go, bare butt with her pants around her ankles. Other times, there's absolutely no interest. We have promised her a trip to the park when she actually goes. We may be visiting the park in the snow!
*She catches everything we say and we find we often times have an echo. She also likes to relay messages between Jason and I, even when we're right next to each other.
*She has learned how to turn on and put DVD's into our player. I'm not sure if this is good or bad...
*Although she does wear her shoes much more now, she usually takes them off in the car and then tells me that she's going to walk into the house barefoot.
*She is great at buckling anything. Quite often, I go to put Jack in his bouncer, swing, or carseat, only to find that they are already buckled. She also climbs into her high chair seat and carseat and buckles herself in.
*She still eats breakfast and dinner in her high chair seat at our table just b/c we haven't gotten around to getting a booster seat, but I do let her eat lunch with me at our table. She does really well and is actually much less messy when eating there.
*She still loves to dip her food into "kepitch" (ketchup) or have "shirbah" (syrup) on her pancakes in the morning.
*She and Jack both go down for bed right around the same time, between 7:30 and 8:00. It had been getting pushed back a bit this summer, but now that it's getting dark we're getting back on track. She regularly sleeps until about 8:30 in the morning. I think it's safe to say that she (nor I!) miss getting up to go to the babysitter's at 6:00 in the morning!
She just makes us laugh every day. I really do love to listen to her talk. She uses such expression, and we can pretty well understand everything she says. She brings our family so much joy!
I can't believe how old she looks here (Believe it or not, her hair was actually done in pigtails earlier in the day.)
She's a great big sister, too!
