What's new with the Han-ster

Well, I was going to upload some pictures from the past week or so, plus some videos tonight, but we can't locate the cable to connect the camera to the computer.  So, instead, I figured I'd update everyone on what Hannah's up to lately:

- First of all, she's sleeping A LOT.  (Please note, this is NOT a complaint, not at all!)  She's been taking about a 2 hr nap in the mornings and a 2.5 hr nap in the afternoons, plus sleeping closer to 12 hours at night.  Just so you don't have to do the math, that means she's awake for a whopping 7.5 hrs! Not much for a 15 month old.  We're guessing that she's in a growth spurt - she tends to sleep lots when she's growing.

- She is jabbering away.  In the past week or so, she's just really starting trying to talk.  She hasn't really increased the amount of actual words that she knows.  She's just started talking in gibberish and then looking at you, waiting for you to answer the question she just asked.  It's really cute!

- She loves riding the bike.  We got a bike seat for her, and she absolutely loves it!  If she sees it, she throws a fit to get on and go for a ride.  She even spotted it out of tons of bikes at camp at LA Tech and grabbed on and sat there waiting for me to pick her up and put her on it. Here's one picture that I do have - Robbie was able to email it to me off of his phone. 

- She's really understanding a lot of what we say to her. She can complete simple commands that we ask her to do ("Hannah, can you pick that up and take it to Daddy?") and is FINALLY starting to like reading books.  And then she remembers what you say about the books.  If it has a doggie in it, she'll pick up that book and immediately start barking.  One book is about a bear that goes to the doctor.  I explained to her on one page that the bear has to say "Aaahhh" so the doctor can see down his throat.  Now when she sees that book she says "AAAAAHHHH!!!" everytime!

As you can see, she's at a really fun age!  Hopefully I'll be able to upload videos soon!
