Hannah's 18 month update


Can you believe it? 18 months old! She's come a long way from the little 7 1/2 lb baby we brought home in December of 2005. She now weighs about 24 (!) pounds and is 32 inches tall.


Talking
she is saying "mama" a lot now
daddy
bababa (ball)
bebe (baby)
nana (banana)
eye
ssat? (what's that?) - she says this ALL the time, wanting to know what everything is
kee kee (kitty)
uh-oh (which means "I dropped something" & "can you get that for me?")
ot or hot (then blows on whatever food item is in front of her)
hi!
bye (when someone is on the phone)
bye be be (then blows you a kiss)
isit (what is it)
ishee (where is she)
and just lots of jabbering and babbling!


Animal Noise Repertoire
dog
cat
cow
monkey
horse
bird
lion
bear
fish (you didn't know they made noises, did you?)
crab (pinching, not a noise)
seal


Favorite Foods
She will eat just about anything but really loves:
bananas
eggs
pumpkin, applesauce, avocado mix
red grapes
soy yogurt
BBQ chicken
spaghetti with meat sauce
couscous
anything on Mama's plate


Playtime
Hannah is so much fun to play with and is always a whirl of activity! Right now she loves to play:
baby dolls (feed them, wrap them up, kiss them, rock them, put them to bed, etc.)
sandbox
anything outside
rock collecting
sticks (bamboo sticks in the backyard are a huge source of entertainment - who knew?)
pet the kitty next door
books
music and dancing
some coloring
She helps me with the laundry, sweeping and just a little bit of cooking. :)
She also helps Daddy put things in his bag for work.
Such a big girl!

Hannah is awesome! The girls and I are sitting here reading about her - oohs and awws all around. It was fun hearing all of her animal noises this morning! I especially liked the pinching crab! You have a little jewel!
