I am up a little earlier this morning than I usually am. The phone rang around 6:30 and woke me up. We get these calls from an Unknown name & number, when you answer it it just beeps at you. It is annoying because it continues to call the house and I can't tell it to stop calling. Anyway, it scared me so bad because if anyone calls here before 8:00 it usually means something is wrong! The last time anyone called here that early was when Ginger's accident happened and I don't like to hear the phone ring in the morning. Anyway, I couldn't go back to sleep. So I figured I would ramble on about Hannah this morning.
"Me (& sometimes My) do it," is what I have heard a lot this week. She wants to buckle her own car seat, put on her clothes, brush her teeth, etc. all by herself. She is actually pretty good for a 20 month old! She is definitely becoming Miss Independent. That is good & bad. It is good that she is learning and growing - most kids her age are that way (or so I have heard). But all of you moms out there know that Ms. Independent becomes Ms. Temper Tantrum when they don't get to do it their way! So we are dealing with that right now. She is not that bad but I will tell you that the child can make her body go limp and it is really hard to get a grip on her sometimes! I think she is a pro at it. :) Overall she is such a good baby & I couldn't ask for a better child but she has her moments like all children!
She is also a pro at counting to 10. Sometimes she gets confused after 8. I need to videotape her and post the video because it is cute to hear her. She has a southern accent and to hear her say "trwee, far, chive, stix, teven" is the sweetest thing to me. Although when I am getting onto her she will begin to count. I think this is her way of trying to distract me. It makes me laugh and angry at the same time! She also counts or tries to show you that she knows her body parts when you are trying to get her to go to sleep. She will be almost asleep and then pop up and say "Look mommy, my eyes!" This week she hasn't wanted to be rocked to sleep. She just wants to go to her bed. She will roll around and the other night I could hear her on the monitor saying "What's up, dude?" over and over again. She will literally fall asleep in the middle of talking.
Anyway we are working on potty training. She is not quite ready but she sits on the potty everyday. Hopefully it won't be long. I would love to have the $50 I spend on diapers in my checking account! Tomorrow is the big Jr. League yard sale! I can't wait. I am hoping to get some outside play equipment for Hannah. Keep your fingers crossed! Have a great weekend!!
