Look!

"Look, I'm a pterodactyl!"

"Hey, don't laugh at me!"

Yes, we are at that phase too...it's so hard not to laugh when she says and does so many cute things.

nom, nom

Favorites too!

After I asked Hannah what her favorites were, Emily asked, "Mom, do you want to know mine?" Well, of course!

Also, here are a couple of funny conversations we've had in the last little while:

The first went something like this...
E: (as she gazes out the window) Mom, I wish I had a tail.
Mom: Um, really? why?
E: So I could be a cow.

The next went something like this...
E: Is it time to go outside? I want to wear my cape.
Mom: Ok, but usually you wear the cape inside so it won't get dirty. I think we should leave it in here.
E: But Mom, I really, really want to fly!

I love this stage that she's in right now, however I could definitely do without all the willful outbursts.

Favorites

Sometimes favorites can change at the blink of an eye.

And of course she couldn't choose just one of anything.

Birthday Time

Hannah had a birthday. Her sixth birthday in fact.

There was red velvet cake with pink frosting. And plenty of presents to open.

And best of all, sisters and parents to share the entire day with.

This year, we decided to celebrate by having a family day instead of a big party. Hannah got to choose the activity and the place for her special birthday meal. So, she chose to visit the art museum where we explored making art in the new children's art center and listened to a special reading of Runaway Bunny set to music. Which was quickly followed up by eating yummy Chinese food, taking naps, playing games, and eating our fill of cake, ice cream, popcorn, apples, and smoothies. Sounds like a fun filled day don't you think? Before bed she whispered, "This was the best day ever!" Based on that, this might actually become our new family tradition.

Crawling

Crawling has commenced and she's getting faster every day!  You might be able to get a better look at her great hair too.

The Hair

As you can see, the blog has been neglected (again). We've been busy but I guess since I don't have a third hand, I don't have any pictures to prove it...

We now have a baby who sits and crawls, which still needs to be documented, but at the moment we have her cute HAIR to show!

Trust me, it's much more interesting in person. Most people, including strangers at the grocery store love to look and comment on it. Thankfully, most people restrain themselves from running their hands through it.
