19 Months

Hannah Claire is constantly doing new things. She is so much fun these days. She can say anything if she chooses. Some of her favorites:

-Mewrry cwistas (Merry Christmas)

-Da (Daddy)

-Haaaaay (Hey in her best southern drawl)

-Woll tiii (Roll Tide)

-Biscit (Biscuit)

-Nigh Night (Night Night which is what we say for bedtime)

-Ahmen (amen)

-Pappy bwirthway JeJe (Happy Birthday Jesus)

She also said her first non-family member name. Our sweet friend Emily came over to help with some Christmas decorations and HC ran up to her and said "Emee".

Hannah Claire can now officially take off her socks and shoes and put them back on. She does this all the time. She can also put her legs in her pants. She loves to color. She also gets her books out and reads them to us. I think we have a little chatter box on our hands. HC loves dogs. Really any dog but she especially loves Allie & Junior. She loves to give them treats and then get their ears when they are eating. They are so good with her. She also loves to pray. We pray for our meals and at the end she says amen. Usually she will not let go of our hands so she can mumble something and say amen too. She has also learned to turn on the t.v. in our room and bring us the remote so she can watch Baby First (cartoons all the time). She has also learned to open the drawer under our t.v. in the living room to get out Baby Einstein videos and bring them to us. She will hand them over and say "peas". We have had to start limiting t.v. because she has really started taking an interest in it. One day I tried to watch Praise Baby instead of Baby Einstein. She was so upset. I mean seriously kid, it is a video! She also can climb up on the furniture.

I have to say we are so blessed to have such a good little girl. She does test us often but overall she is pretty good. She doesn't want her diaper changed, she wants to hit and she has started telling us "no". Pray for our patience and ability to handle these new obstacles properly. Now for red chair pictures. She has really grown over the last month. She is up to 23.5 lbs.

So grown!

Dinnertime became such a battle because HC decided she hated the highchair. After over a month of battles every meal time we bought a booster. She digs it and life is so much better. I blame daycare because they sit at mini-tables and chairs with no straps. (I'm not real sure why she has 3 sippies in this picture. Go figure!)
