Hannah Renee.... such a smart, sweet little sassy-pants at 16 months of age! She weighs almost 24 pounds and is 31 inches tall. Hannah is now running around like crazy, which helps her to keep up with Emma. She loves to hide from us, and is quite good at it. She'll go stand in a closet or behind a door, and holds perfectly still without making a peep.
Hannah is quite the talker. She is starting to string words together to form short sentences. It is getting easier for her to communicate what she wants. She knows all of the parts on her head and can point to them and say them (hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth). Some of her favorite books to read are "Hands Hands Fingers Thumb," "Moo Baa La La La" and "Pajama Time." She says certain parts of them along with me when we read together. Hannah also loves songs like Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus and If You're Happy and You Know It. She never hesitates to dance and sing along!
Those of you close to Hannah also know that she has a great sense of humor. She loves making people laugh, especially Emma. It is so obvious that Emma is her best friend and that she looks up to her so much already.
