Hannah Kate 23 Months

This month, I've been keeping track of everything so I wouldn't forget anything.....so this post may be VERY long!
Weight: Not sure....heavy!!
Clothing Size: finishing up 12-18 months, getting into 18-24 months
Diaper Size: 5

Food Fun: This kid LOVES fries......anytime she hears a paper bag rattle, she says, "Here, fwies!" & sticks out her hand.  Also, whole apples, juice, using her new straw sippy cup, & hot trocolate (chocoloate).

Fun Facts:
~Since Micaiah came home, I let her start watching the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD occasionally when I am need to feed him.  I told Wesley the next week that she was going to know all of the letter sounds in a week.  Then, the next day I asked her a couple & she knew them....so I asked her more & she could tell me every letter sound!  Amazing.  She can also recognize a few letters (K, O, sometimes H & S)
~She is very diligent at folding her hands for prayers and helping with prayers by filling in the blanks when I stop.  Examples: Dear .... (God), thank you for:  (almost always: this day, bwessings, Mommy, Daddy, Caiah-then whoever she has seen that day or whatever she sees around the room-diapers, books, seats, whatever!), help our children to grow up to be..... ( faiful (faithful) isian (Christians) and mawy (marry) faiful isian)

Things Hannah Kate Does Not Love:
~sitting quietly during evening worship services (she recently set a new record of being taken out four times during the sermon)-Funny story: we were riding in the car & listening to a sermon on CD.  Hannah Kate randomly piped up & said, "orship (worship) kiet (quiet)! spankin's!"
~sitting on Santa's lap (did you see our Santa picture?!) If you ask her about seeing Santa, she usually says something about "wap" or "Anta key you," only once has she said "crynin'," even when she sees the picture-so she must not be scarred for life!
