Hannah turned 2 on November 30th! She has been a bundle of fun and energy, keeping us on our toes for the past 2 years. Clara refers to her as "the feisty one", telling me that "God sure gave us an ornery one, didn't he?" She will also tell you that Hannah is "her favorite, best little sister in the whole wide world!" Hannah is showing us that she is very determined, competitive, and independent. She sat on Clara's tricycle at 20 months and took off pedalling down the street. She loves to climb, run and jump off or over things. We had to put together her twin bed when she started climbing out of her crib a few months ago, and she decided to get rid of her diapers and wear underpants like Clara on her own accord, doing the whole process "by myself", closing the door on us, saying "I need privacy"! She has a strong spirit that keeps us challenged, but gives the best hugs or "squeezes", shows us how thoughtful she is daily, and has the most joyful laugh and smile!
We have definitely entered the "2-year-old smile" phase! Clara had such a funny smile at this age, also, and my mom showed me pictures of myself at this age and in every one I had my right eye squinted shut!
Making their princess crowns for the party.
Nonna set up a fun tea party for the princesses with heart shaped sandwiches, sparkling juice, and sterling silver utensils.
Another classic smile!
Hannah's latest obsession is Sleeping Beauty/Princess Aurora....she can be heard singing the song "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream" all through the house, all day long!!! She had requested a Clifford cake about a month before her birthday, but quickly changed her mind after watching Sleeping Beauty to "princess Aurora". Thank goodness for Michael's and cake molds!!!
The princesses in their crowns, necklaces and boas. Aunt Molly is a Disney princess expert and introduced Clara to Cinderella, Belle, Mulan, and Jasmine this week while at my parent's house. She patiently answered Clara's 500 questions about the plot while the movie played!
Hannah decided to go straight for the frosted doll top!
Happy Birthday to our sweet 2-year-old!!!
