Do you ever stop talking????

I'm not sure when most babies start talking, but it seems that Miss Hanny has a special talent in this area. From the time she wakes (sometimes even in her sleep) until she shuts her eyes, Hannah's mouth is moving. Her vocabulary grows by leaps and bounds each day, and her pronunciation and clarity is improving every day. This of course means Momma and Daddy have to be very careful about what comes out of our mouths. She is a parrot and is very proud to share her thoughts and our words!! So far we have avoided any unmentionable words...but there have been a few close calls.

In addition to talking, this girl likes to sing and dance too, especially to her one true love ELMO. How one fuzzy, red puppet can capture the attention of this little girl...it amazes me. We don't even have cable so her access to him is mostly through books and videos. I wish Elmo was a stock, because I would put all my money on him.

Next month Miss Hanny will turn 18mos...stats to follow with her check-up. The has actually slowed down with weigh gain...stopped according to a weigh in at the on-call doctors office two weeks ago. Not surprised really since we are in CONSTANT motion. Momma has even lost a few pounds without trying!

Next post will be an update on growth stats and stories from our upcoming trip to visit Great Grandma and Gramps. Until then, enjoy our photos..
