Signing

The past month or two Daddy and I have been signing to you whenever we say specific words. (Mommy, Daddy, milk/nurse, all done, more and etc.)  About a month ago you started signing Daddy, we weren't sure if you were actually signing it but then Daddy walked into the room and you put your hand to your forehead! So we think you really are doing it!

Now the past week you have been signing milk, a lot! I finally got it on video too!

I love that you are actually learning and doing the signs that I am teaching you! It is so fun watching you figure them out and it makes me want to start signing a lot more words to you!

Here comes trouble!

Dear Hannah,

You are only 6 MONTHS you should not be doing this stuff already! Looks like we need to start baby proofing and lowering your bed!

I sat  you in your bed while I ran to the bathroom real quick and came back in to find that you had pulled yourself up on your knees! I couldn't believe my eyes! I laughed and you fell down trying to look at me. So I sat you back in your bed and you did it again, this time you pulled yourself into standing position! Oh my goodness! You are a very strong willed and sturdy little girl! We are going to have our hands full!

Just make sure it wasn't a fluke I have put you in your bed multiple times, each time you do it over and over again! Looks like you are going to keep me on my toes!

Half a year?!

Dear Hannah,

Happy Half birthday! I can't believe you have been in our lives for HALF of a YEAR now! I don't think I like how fast time is flying! I know I keep saying this but it is a very bittersweet thing that you are growing up so fast! Its not fair that it seemed forever for you to get here and now that you are here time is going quick!

It is so much fun watching you grow and develop. I am constantly amazed! I love seeing your little personality show as well. You get sassier and more determined everyday! I love it! You are also the biggest Momma's girl and becoming more so everyday as well! I think you would be truly happy if you could just be connected to my hip.


Here are some other fun things about you at this age!

• you LOVE kids and babies! Any time you see one you screech with excitement!
• you love to eat pretty much anything I give you but your favorites are bananas, eggs, and popsicles! You also love to drink out of your sippy cup but ONLY if you can do it yourself.
• In fact you want to do EVERYTHING by yourself! I think you will be much more content when you figure out how!
• You are starting to figure out how to scoot around. You have been able to for awhile now, but you are finally getting a hang of how to work your arms. 
• You are sitting like a pro. You figured that out a month ago!
• You love Daddy, Savannah, Jakey, Grandma and Millie right now ( and of course Mommy!)
• You decided to surprise us by pulling yourself up to standing position in your bed! We had to lower it to keep you from falling out
• You love to walk around. If I pick you up to carry you I have a very unhappy baby. 
• We discovered your love of music the other day! We used to sing to you at night so apparently you liked it more than we thought!
• You sign "Daddy" whenever you see him! 

You are keeping us very entertained with so many other things that you do these days! The list could go on and on! We love our little sassy pants so much! Life wouldn't be the same without you!
