Two and a half

My sweet Hannah, you are every bit of two and a half! When we say you are a firecracker you literally light up our whole word with your HUGE personality. These past 2.5 years have been the best of our lives. You have grown into such a big little girl and it tugs at my heart but also makes me so proud. You in a nutshell are a WILD and crazy, Happy, fun loving and caring child. Your main goal is to have fun. You are a little thrill seeker, and although cautious at first you usually dive right in and love anything that makes you laugh! You love when your daddy spins you around or rough houses with you. You literally wear us out with how hard you play! You have a ton of energy but by the end of the night you crash! You go to bed about 7:45 and wake up about 7. You do love your bed. And Im SO SO thankful for that :)
Even though you are usually a wild little woman you really do have a kind, caring heart. If anyone gets hurt, or if anyone looks sad you always say, "you ok mommy?". You genuinely care about everyone. If you hear Owen sneeze, even if you are across the room you say, "Bless you Owen!". Sometimes when we are sitting next to eachother watching Mickey you'll just look over at me and say, "hold my hand". It melts my heart. You wholeheartedly love your family. Nothing makes you more excited than to be with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. You just love everyone.
To say you are strong willed is an understatement :) You know what you want, when you want it. We can never be too prepared when we are with you. We always make sure you have everything you could need. You are absolutely, positively attached to your paci and bunny. You push in the ears and the arms of your bunny. And just this morning you let me do it with you. You even let Owen have some of your "my my" too.
You are a very inquisitive little girl.....you ask us alot of questions. Do you like it? Is it yummy? Are you wet? You poopy? We have alot of conversations about the bathroom! Ha ha!
You are also an incredibly smart little girl. You are so observant and notice everything! You love to read, paint, sing, and dance! You have some serious moves too :) Didnt get those from me!

Some of the funniest things about you and some of the things you do and say....
Whenever you like something you are sure to tell us, "I yike it" then you ask us, "You yike it?" If you dont like it or you remember something you dont like, you say "I no yike it".
You hate having your hair washed so anytime we give you a bath you always say, "no hair". That means dont wash my hair or you'll hear about it :)
When you transitioned to the Monkey Room you had a rough start and would cry. So on the way to school everyday we would always tell you, No crying in the monkey room. So I ask you what you say about the monkey room and you say, very loudly and proudly, "no Crying!" and it works!!
Granmommy was asking you who Owen looked like and this is how the conversation went, Does Owen look like Daddy? No. Does Owen look like Mommy? No. Does Owen look like Hannah? No. Well who does he look like? OWEN!! You are way too smart!!
You still call Gramps "meat" but every once in a while you say, Gamps.
You recognize your name on the mat at school and can almost and sometimes do write an H. Its very impressive!
You love our iPhones and love taking pictures of us. We spend alot of time posing for pictures :)
You are still OBSESSED with baby dolls. You have a small collection of Owen's diapers in your playroom and love putting your babies night night. You even put us night night. It usually involves one of us laying on the floor and you repeatedly put a blanket on our back and pat and pat and pat.
You are an expert at diapering a baby!
Some mornings you like to have a say in what you wear (I didnt realize it started this early!). Ill pick out an outfit and you'll tell me you dont like it and go to your closet to get something else. Usually it never matches :)
You are very independent. "My do it" is what you say about almost everything! You do a great job at putting on your shoes and strapping them in the back. Im so proud of how much you can do on your own!

 LOVE this face!!!
Those are just some of the funny things we love about you. There are SO many more.  Everyday you say something or do something new. You hold the most special place in our hearts. We love you more than we could have imagined and look so forward to watching you grow.

Happy Half Birthday sweet baby girl!!
