Hannah turns three!

We truly cannot believe our little girl has turned three. Hannah is such a blessing, more than words can describe. She has learned many new things in this last year. She loves to play with anything "girly" pretty much. However, you will see this girl play in dirt too. My cousin's boyfriend can say he witnessed that this summer when Hannah made him sit in a pile of dirt for hours as they played with her sand toys. She learned how be a big sister this year. She is good at it, for the most part. She has her moments, but overall she loves Ben to death. Her creativity and imagination really has sparked. She has fun role playing and dictating what roles people should be. She found a love for movies, just like her dad. She watches one when she gets up almost every morning. We keep the library busy with all of the requests of movies. Her favorites include (but are not limited to) Toy Story 2, Snow White, Wizard of Oz, Enchanted, Mary Poppins, Polar Express, and who knows what tomorrow will bring. She likes to watch the same movie for about 5 days before trying a new one. Hannah was really pretty healthy this year. She had her common colds every once in awhile but she only was in to see the doctor maybe twice. The latest was the hardest as she was diagnosed with the shingles in Novemeber. We (as well as the doctors) are alittle puzzled as to where she got them as she has not had the chicken pox and has been vaccinated. She was a great patient through it all. We see the doctor in March for her well check so we will see what her stats will be them. Hannah's vocabulary is growing everyday. We sometimes look at each other wondering where she gets some of her words and phrases from. We are looking forward to another year of accomplishments and milestones. Hannah is super excited that she is three, she gets to ride the big girl swing all the time (mom put that rule into affect awhile back.) Too bad the weather here will delay going on swings for awhile.

Enjoy the pictures of her birthday!
