14 Months Going on 2 Years ;)

Our little Miss Independent is growing leaps and bounds each day.  She is now 22.8 pounds and is walking/trying to run everywhere.  It's getting easier for her to keep up with Emma now!  She is only about 6 inches shorter than her big sis, so she's catching up with her in that department too.

Hannah is such a funny baby and her sense of humor is really starting to shine.  She loves to laugh at herself and to make others laugh.  Her smiles and giggles are contagious.  We'll often catch herself tickling her own toes in the car and cracking herself up.  Han-cakes is getting more teeth in lately, so we get to see those with each smile.

She is also talking a lot and is starting to repeat more and more words and phrases.  If she makes Emma cry (we're going through a bit of a biting phase!), she will say "sorry" and automatically give her a kiss. Some of her frequent words are blankie, milk, snack, up, down, hi, bye, thank you, Emma, toes, tickle, noes, eyes, yes and no.  Hannah is such a social butterfly, and loves chatting with anyone and everyone.  She charms people everywhere from the grocery store to the gym.

This month Hannah made her first trip to Alaska to see Namma, Pa, Gaga and the rest of the Godkin side of the family.  She loved going on hikes, swinging and running through Pa's lawn.  Next month we're off to see Grammy, Papa and her uncles and aunts in San Diego!  She'll get to visit the beach, go to Legoland and much more.  So much to explore and discover at this fun age!
