Noooo

Hannah has been a little slower to speak than some children, and I’ve tried not to be too concerned. At her 18 month doctor’s appointment, the nurse asked if Hannah could say 6 – 10 words. We really couldn’t think of that many, and I was afraid she had flunked one of the questions. Around 20 months, Hannah started saying a few more words, and it has been so cute and so much fun to hear her use each new word. Until now. Her most recent word is no. I guess I should be thankful that she’s been saying yes for a couple of months now. I’d kind of gotten used to her being pretty agreeable to things. Just recently she learned about no, and I think it’s been her most used word yet. Even when she disagrees, she still sounds cute when she drags out the word into nooo. After all, she will be two just a couple of months from today. In addition to no she’s also saying

apple, baby, ball, bar, Bible, bird, boo-boo, book, boots, cheese, choo-choo, church, dada, dink (drink), doggie, ears, Elmo, eyes, fish, mama, moo, nana (banana), peez (please), purple, shhh, shoes, that, yes

And since I can’t write a post without a picture, here’s the one I just put on my desk.

Same Sweater, Different Dress

When I purchased Hannah’s Easter dress for this year, I was hoping since the holiday fell in mid-April, the weather would be warm. It was a tad cool Sunday morning, and while it was an opportunity for Hannah to learn sometimes looking good comes with a little sacrifice, I still felt the need to provide for her. I’ve saved a few of my favorite outfits of Hannah’s, so I searched the attic for last year’s Easter cardigan. I was hoping if she just had something to cover her little arms, she would survive from the car into church. But our dainty little girl was totally able to wear her 6 – 9 month sweater from 13 months ago! At this rate, we’ll be lucky to have her in a 3T by kindergarten.
