Happy Birthday Hannah!!!!!!!! (a little late)

I can't believe my baby is already 1! This year has FLOWN by, I think mostly due to the fact that not only do I have one baby growing and learning and moving and getting into everything, but in 2 months (probably less) there's going to be ANOTHER one.

I haven't gotten the birthday pictures from Stephen's camera yet, but I do have the ones from his iphone. I wanted to do a little comparison, to see who Hannah looks like more at this point. So here's a little photo treat....

Hannah at 1 year

Meagan at 1 year

Stephen at 1 year

So what do you think? It's funny, looking at her now most people say quickly, "oh, she looks so much like Stephen!" But sometimes when she makes a certain face, her baby pictures and mine could be almost identical. There's definitely a good mix of both of us in there. I wonder how much baby girl #2 will look like Hannah, or not.

We sure do love our 1 year old! She's a happy, growing girl. Her favorite foods are mac&cheese, grapes, and bananas. She gets soooo excited when I pick up her banana in the morning. I can only giver her one grape at a time, because if I put them all on her tray, they will all be in her mouth. I haven't let her feed herself mac and cheese yet because I'm just not ready for that mess. The day after her birthday, I caught her taking a step or two on her own. She can take 5 or 6 if she gets a good start - that is - not on her tip toes. Stephen finally caught a good practice on video today. Hannah still sleeps like an angel. 12 hours at night, 7/7:30 ish pm to the same time in the morning. And 2 naps, one at 9:30am, and the other at 2/2:30pm. It amazes me how regular she is. She loves bathtime. She also loves to hold my keys while we go on walks, now that it's warm enough on some days. She has fun crawling around on the little playground with her friends, but I don't think she likes the swings. We got her a little ride-on giraffe for her bday, which she hasn't quite got the hang of riding yet, but she's very good at using it to climb up on the couch all by herself. No words yet. Not even close as far as I can tell. I feel a little guilty that she has no inclination of the baby sister about to arrive. It seems like it would be more fun if she were old enough to be excited about it. I know Hannah gets kicked by the baby sometimes when I'm feeding her. She probably wonders what's up with that. I guess she'll find out soon enough!
