Two Year Update

Hannah's first "school picture" taken at daycare!
We were glad one of them turned out so well, because our Portrait Innovations visit was a disaster...

Here's a little bit about Hannah's development at age two:

Height: 38 inches, weight: 32lbs, 1 oz.

Movement: She is running like a toddler now, and is working on walking up stairs. When she has things in her hands, she can walk up without holding on for a few steps. Mostly, she still crawls up and down. She is really into mimicing commands (clap your hands, wiggle your toes, etc.) and dancing.

Talking/Cognitive: Hannah has always had a lot to say, even as a baby, and that trend is continuing. She can hear something once and start repeating/using it.  She is using simple sentences, and knows big chunks of songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle", "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed", etc. She also knows storylines of books and TV shows that we see/read over and over. She knows her letters, her numbers up to 10, her colors, and all the basic shapes.

Personality: She is still stubborn, and will "melt" easily when she is tired. She wants to start doing things herself, but is willing to ask for help when needed.  Most of the time, she is silly and hyper!

Someone was obviously good at making two year olds smile! : )

Favorites: Her two blankies and paci continue to be glued to her more than we would like.  We're going to work on the paci issue this summer, along with potty training and transitioning to a big girl bed. She loves books (Calico and Brown Bear, Brown Bear are HUGE right now), Little Einsteins, Mickey Mouse, and Playdoh. She also likes to pretend that there is a tiger about to do any number of things....eat her snack/meal, 'get' her toys, 'get' mama and dada, etc. Random, but cute!
