Hannah Kate-25 Months
~Whew! This girl is full of life! She is so fun (usually) & we sure do love her!
~The "trying twos" are trying us out sometimes! We really do not like the term "terrible twos," but her attitude has definitely changed in the past few months. We are currently working on not whining or crying at the drop of a hat & not stomping feet or pitching a fit when she doesn't get her way. Usually, she does a pretty good job when we give her "the look" or remind her. She does get LOTS of correction for this, though....EVERYDAY! On that note, she has also started requesting that "Mommy kiss weg," after being disciplined.
~She is a good builder-she loves to build with her wooden blocks or her Lego type blocks. She also loves to tear it down!
~She knows what road we live on (& says it all cute, but I'm not going to put on here what our address is!) as well as where Nana, Papa, Aunt Jana, Maggie, & Mollie live. She knows this all well enough that when you ask her, "Where does Nana live?" she will purposefully answer incorrectly & laugh. After a few days of this, she sat in the car one day saying, "Nana ________ (incorrect). Noooooo, Nana _______ (correct)." She went through all of us that way. Too funny.
~She loves letters & has begun saying "See it, T," if she wants to see a particular letter while we are driving.
~She is getting more attached to Jimmy the Giraffe paci with each passing day.......what are we going to do?! She frequently wants us to come to her room when she is in bed because, "Drop it, paci." Most of the time, it is in the bed with her & she just can't find it.
~If she wants me to leave the room, she will say, "Mommy right back."
~She has become quite the singer. The first songs she sang were, "Twinkle Warrrrrr (what you are)" & "Nufin' Bwood" (Nothing but the Blood). Her singing voice is quite breathy & one of our friends said it sounds like she's developed asthma! It's pretty hysterical. Now, she loves to sing lots of songs. Her current favorites are "Tiny Hands," "Jesus Loves Me," "Day One (Days of Creation), & "Nufin' Bwood." The Days of Creation song still goes like this, "Day One, none, Day Two, none, Day Free, none....etc. then....Day Seven God rest Heaven."
~She loves to color & paint!
~She loves to eat Goldfish crackers, cookies, fries, cake, ice cream, (those last four she gets on rare occasions!) green beans, strawberries (she eats them so much that she's started saying "Sraw-berry-howic" (Strawberry aholic) when she eats them--Nana also made chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day, so she asks for strawberries "chocolate on it" almost everyday), yogurt, "wetter soup" (alphabet chicken noodle soup), & "dose wittle cwackers" (mini saltine crackers).
~She can open any door-including the exterior doors that are hard to open. Awesome. She can also open the pantry door & get what she wants to eat out of the pantry. She is not allowed to open the outside doors or the pantry door without us telling her it's okay. She frequently tests that theory.
~If she wants to do something she is not allowed to do, for example opening the pantry door, she will grab our hand & say, "Mommy/Daddy open it," & push our hand toward whatever it is.
~We have set a goal for Hannah Kate to be able to say a Bible verse for every letter of the alphabet before she is three years old. We have made the list & I am in the process of making a book of all of them. She knows several already, we just finished Luke 19:5 "Zacchaeus, hurry & come down for I must stay at your house today," & just moved to Joshua 24:15 "as for me & my house, we will serve the Lord."
~She LOVES Bible class-every time we go to the church building, she asks to go. We went to Wesley's cousin Andrea's wedding at the church building recently. Hannah Kate ran to "our pew"-which is the front pew-& sat right down & waited. It took some convincing to get her to go sit somewhere else. Thankfully, most everyone there was either family or from East Side. Of course, she asked to go to Bible class after the wedding. (I was explaining to her on the way there that we were going to a wedding & when she grows up if she gets married, she will marry a faithful Christian. She chimed in from the backseat, "Marrrrrrry way him in a manger." Yes, Mary did lay Jesus in the manger, but that wasn't quite what I was talking about!)
~She is the best little pray-er! One day, I had my head bowed & was saying a silent prayer for a friend. Hannah Kate walked up & said, "Doin?" (what are you doing) I told her that Mommy was praying for & named the friend. She immediately put down her toys, folded her hands, & bowed her head. So, I said another prayer-this time out loud! The other night, she was begging to eat supper while we were getting all of the food out. Wesley said, "In a minute we will eat, after we pray." She immediately stopped, bowed, folded her hands, prayed "Tank you food, tank you srawberries, AMEN!" then proceeded to grab strawberries off of her high chair & shove them in her mouth.
~She is one amazing, spunky, little girl! We are blessed!
