Month 26

Dear Hannah,

It is safe to say that your Mommy has been sufficiently procrastinating as usual in updating this blog! You want to know why?? Because you are a handful, little girl! You are kind and sweet, loving and neat, boisterous and smart, but also mischievous and bossy! I have to stay one step ahead of you constantly or disaster is sure to strike! You succeeded in getting what you wanted for so long that now you know no other way. It’s Mommy now! Mommy sit! Mommy go! Mommy C’mon! If I even try to pull out the Laptop for a minute, you are next to me saying “JESUS!”, meaning that you want to watch music videos of people singing Jesus Loves Me. That is your favorite song, which explains why I have to sing it a hundred times a night to get you to sleep. You have an eager way of charming almost anyone into giving you what you want. You better enjoy it while your still cute ;p And boy are you cute! Your little smile lights up every room, and your laugh is contagious. It is impossible to have a frown on your face around you. You liven up a room real quick!

Your curiosity is abundant! I can say that for sure. If you are interested in something, or want to know about something, you are nothing if not persistent in getting exactly what you want! There is one particular thing that delights me to no end! You match your Papa and Mommy in your love of books! Books, books, books! All I hear about is books! And not just one will do! Oh no, you have to have at least 4 at once! I love it, and hope that it never changes! All of these reasons and more explain why everyone fights over you! I have to run to the nursery after Church lets out to get to you before Jennifer scoops you up right from under me!

One big step that you and I are fixing to take is getting you off of your Binky. This situation will find itself much harder on me than you, I can promise that. As long as you are sucking on your Binky, you are still my little baby. My precious little angel that I used to hold in my arms for hours on end. Now I am holding you in my lap instead which I will take because I know one day, that will also be too much for you. I cherish every single moment with you. I will never ever take you for granted, for you are the single most beautiful thing to ever be put on this planet, and what I see when I look at you is a little miracle from heaven that I get to enjoy every day of my life. I am so blessed to know you, and love you, and will hold you in my heart forever. My Daddy (Your Papa) started a tradition with me that I will continue with you. He told me he loved me, and that I was beautiful every day of my life. You deserve no less my little baby for you are the most wonderful little person I’ve ever known.

Love,

Momma

Month 20- "My Angel"

Dear Hannah,
 
     Mommy has been procrastinating way too much and your Pappy reminded me that I need to write on here! I'm sorry about that sweetie but you are quite a handful these days :) The time has come for me to come to the realization that you are not a baby anymore. All the experts say that you became a toddler when you took your first steps but your Daddy and I refused to admit it. You were still our baby. But now you can tell us when you need to use the bathroom and you try to dress yourself and tell ME when it's nite nite time (which is exactly what you say to me when your ready for bed), so even though in our hearts you are still our little baby and always will be, I guess I can technically call you a toddler. You are such a happy little girl. You are almost always smiling, laughing and just being plain silly! You love to make people laugh, and people sure do love to laugh and smile at you. You pick up attention wherever you go and you never meet a stranger! Most babies are scared of a lot of things but not you! You are fearless! The only thing that scares you is loud noises, and then you run and grab Mommies leg and hang on for dear life until the sound stops. You are already trying to be a little gymnast too! You flip all the time! You even flip into your toy box and then back out of the toy box and soon as your head bonks the ground, your cracking up laughing and doing it again to get a reaction out of your Daddy and me! You love to show off for people. You always make sure everyone is looking! I never could have imagined what a wonderful little girl I would have. And this is just the beginning! It brings me so much joy to know that I am going to have my baby to make me happy for the rest of my life! I could never ask for anything more. I thought you were my little angel in disguise until I looked real close and realized it wasn't a disguise after all :)

Month 16

Dear Hannah,

 As you can see, Mommy has been busy! I can't believe its been 6 months since I posted on here! I'm so sorry baby. I promise to keep up with it. You were just 10 months then. Ohhhhhh so much has happened since then!!!! First and foremost, you took your first steps when you were 11 months old, and you walked all by yourself for the first time on your first birthday. You are trying so hard to talk now. You say Momma, Dadda, Hey Dad, Nana, Aunt Nett, Dan Dan, Hannah and Hey! You also put the phone to your ear and say HEY DAD! It's so cute. You are the smartest baby ever!! You pick things up so fast. You try to put the keys in the door and unlock it, you know what stuff is and will go get it if we ask you to, you will pick up your toys and put them in the toy boxes. You do so much that theres no way I could name it all right here. You love food! Nothing in particular really, just everything!!!! Also, you are stuck to me! You follow me everywhere I go, and if I leave the room and don't invite you, you have a hysterical fit! And the temper on you!!!!! Whooooo girl! You stomp your little feet and ball up those fists! I think your going through the terrible twos early! But you are so sweet! You will blow Grandpa kisses, and a couple weeks ago, Mimi and Grandpa taught you Uh Oh! Now you say it all the time!  You give us hugs around our necks and have such a big heart. If someone is crying, you will cry. You are such a precious baby girl. I'm enjoying every minute of you! I don't want you to grow up, but at the same time I cant wait to go through it all with you. By my side. As long as I live. I love you, baby.                             Love, Momma

Month 10

    Dear Hannah,

    This has been the best Easter that i've ever had! You are so sweet and beautiful! Momma, Nana, Mimi, and Daddy took you to the park to hunt Easter eggs with the church, and you did so great! You found a bunch of eggs but your favorite was a little yellow mini egg that you wouldn't take out of your mouth! After the egg hunt Momma, and Nana took you to meet Amie to do your Easter pictures. They turned out wonderful! You were so cooperative. You just sat there and did everything we wanted you to do. You are very photogenic! Maybe you will grow up to be a model! Your definitely pretty enough! Now that your crawling, you are into everyyyyything!! You tire me out! It is so neat to see you discovering new things, and you are so smart! You love to play horsey with Nana. You will sit on her foot waiting for her to play! And you are dancing too. All we have to say is "Hannah dance", and you will dance for us. Its so cute! You started pulling up the same day you started crawling, but now your trying to climb up on things too. You get to where you want to go and if you cant then you try and try until you get it. You are very persistent. Oh and you have 8 teeth now! You just fill up my heart little girl. Ive already started planning your first birthday. Its going to be a blast. We are going to have a pool party at Mimi's and Grandpa's and invite all of your little friends from church! I cant wait to see you dig into that cake! I love you my little one!
                                                                                                    Love, Momma

Month 9

Hannah,
    When you read this, i'm sure you will be older and wiser and I hope you are liking what you see. I love you as a baby. You are just precious! I have to tell you, you have made soooo many milestones these last couple of months. First you got your first tooth, right on the bottom! You had a fever and Momma took your temperature wrong and ended up rushing you to the hospital and it ended up that you just had a low fever and I could have just given you some Tylenol! Momma overreacts sometimes! lol This past week, you went to Florida with your Mimi and Grandpa to visit your GeeGee. It was an extremely tough week without you but we got through it somehow. As soon as you got home, your Daddy rushed to the car to grab you and you screamed at him right in his face!!!! You didn't remember your Daddy at all! Broke his heart lol.
    You have now gotten a top tooth also, and another bottom one! You bit me last night and whooooo did it hurt!! You just started crawling too! You are all over the place! In the trash, biting and pulling at the poor doggies. We were so excited to have you crawling and now we are like, "What were we thinkin"! But you are growing more and more every day and you have won over everyones heart that meets you. I love you.
