Dearest Hannah,
Yesterday you turned two. You are already such a young lady, so well spoken and intellegent. We can't believe all that you can do, and the big concepts that you understand. For example, you told me the other day as I was trying to park the car in a small space that I should be careful and not hit the cars because "hitting is rude". How did you come up with that? And, you are right, we never hit anyone. You have told me many times not to be "irritated" by cars as I am driving. Your favorite words lately have been "because", "probibly", "almost", and "used to". You try to incorporate those words in almost every sentence you say, even if it isn't exactly the right way to use the word, we are so impressed by your ability to try.
You love reading. In fact you have memorized many books and love to "read" them to yourself. It is absolutely adorable! Your favorite books are Cinderella, Spot's Birthday Party, I'm a Big Sister, and My Big Girl Potty. (Hopefully soon you will be using your Big Girl Potty :))
The past year has been very eventful for us as a family. Daddy took a new job with Pfizer. His territory would be on the Central Coast so we decided he would commute for the first six months. It was difficult to make that change in our lives because it meant only seeing Daddy on the weekends and that he would have to spend almost a month away from home last summer. You knew, though, that Daddy worked in "Paso Robles" and that he would always be home on "Fridays". We made the adjustments that we could to my work schedule so I could be at home with you as much as possible, and your Nana Kathy was able to help us out a lot while I worked in the evenings. In January of this year we made the decision to move to Paso Robles, Ca. as a family so we could all be together. While it was hard to leave family and wonderful friends, it was good for us to finally be together again. We can really tell that you love us all being together.
In September of 2006 we found out that you are going to be a Big Sister! Your little sister is due in June. While you weren't too sure about it at first ("No brother, no sister, just Hannah") you seem very excited that we will have a new baby in our house very soon.
You have sure come a long way in the past year. On your last birthday you had very little hair and were still a little wobbly on your feet. Your vocabulary was very limited. Now you have beautiful curly hair, you are running and palying and going down the slide at the park by yourself. You have such a strong vocabulary, can count to 12 by yourself, know all your basic colors and shapes, and comprehend such complex ideas. It will be so fun to see how you grow and change in the next year.
I am so happy to be your Mommy! You brighten my life everyday and I am so thankful God has put you in our lives.
I am so proud of you and love you with all that I am. Keep growing up and enjoying life. Try not to give your parents too hard of a time during this next stage of the Terrible Twos.
I love you!
