Hannah is such a big girl!!!

We went on a walk Sunday and took these adorable pictures. Hannah is now 2 1/2. She likes to be Mommy's big helper and doesn't have much interest in eating anything but pasta, peanut butter sandwiches, and toast. She will eat other things but those are the three things that she asks for every single day. She likes to play with the toy kitchen she got for Christmas including bringing the dirt in from outside to 'cook' her meals. She likes to see pictures of herself and Mommy and Daddy. She likes to name everyone in the family photos as well. She loves to go to Grandma's house and always throws a fit when it is time to go home. She also recently did the same thing at Aunt Rebekah's house, so she just must have more fun with other people. I am not exactly much fun these days being pregnant. I don't seem to be able to do much of anything and I have very little energy. Hannah also really likes to wear skirts these days. Every day she has to put one on and sometimes it is the same skirt for three or four days. She is definitely all girl!! She also tries to be very independent. She likes to dress herself and gets frustrated if you try and help and she likes to try things on her own. She has also recently learned how to open the refrigerator and so if I am not fast enough when she says she is hungry she goes in and pulls out the peanut butter and bread and starts to make herself a sandwich. Thank goodness she can't actually open the jar of peanut butter.

She is talking so much more. It is often still hard to understand what she is saying, but she jabbers on and on and on. She has even started talking in sentences. And you should see her with a cell phone. She pretends that she is calling everyone from Daddy to Grandma to Aunt Heidi to her imaginary friends. It is so hilarious to watch. She likes to dance and sing and play the piano. She loves to sing all the time. Like today she kept singing 'I Am a Child of God' all day long. She loves to sing 'Wheels on the Bus', 'Popcorn Popping', and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star'. She has also started singing in the car and I find that if I sing with her or get her to sing when she is upset then everything goes so much better and she calms down faster. I also find it easier to get her down for a nap if I spend a few minutes singing with her. Sometimes she will even fall asleep to my singing.

She is just growing up so fast. Soon enough she will be a big sister!!!
