Best tub spike EVER!

Goodbye to the nap

<p>Hana has not napped all week so I am guessing that lovely phase is over. She is the exact same age that Eli dropped his nap. I forced the issue for a few more months with him but it was painful. At least Hana will play in her crib happily for an hour or so still.This post is mostly a note for myself. I find I forget these milestones if they don't get written down somewhere. This phasing out of naps has also coincided with a growth spurt. Our tall girl has grown noticibly taller over the last week. Time to add some ruffles to the bottom of her pants! </p>

Quote of the night

While I was putting Eli to bed tonight, he says "Mom I love you SO much, I love you because you like my hugs and kisses"...then, after a short pause "and I love Dad because he knows how to turn on the wii and the playstation".

Pumpkin boy

Eli has added a new friend to sleep with. His name is pumpkin boy. I just cant help but laugh because it's so ugly. He may actually be an orange.  So much for bed time stuffies being cute and cuddly.

Moose!

You never know what will come to visit when you are at Gido and Baba's house...

Hana turns two

 Hana celebrated her 2nd birthday back in September with her family party.  She celebrated with her cousin Cassie who is also a September birthday girl.   She wore her fancy new party dress and had a fantastic day. 

 

Chocolate cupcakes with pink and yellow icing (by request of the birthday girl)

The cousins who won't fit on one couch for much longer!

Tasting her first cupcake (she had at least two).

She had to try on any clothes that she got as gifts.

And ended up almost naked except for underwear and new sparkly shoes from The Rex's.

 

So, in keeping with tradition, here are 10 facts about Hana at age two:

1. Her favorite movie is A Bugs Life

2. Her least favorite movie is Shrek (she's terrified of him)

3. She is diaper free except for at nights

4. She loves her baby dolls and is quite the little mommy

5. She can hold her own with her big bro and even knows some choice words like "poo poo head" which comes in handy when communicating with a 4 year old.

6. She was exactly 3 feet tall at her 2nd birthday and not quite 30 lbs yet.

6. She still sleeps with a soother and her pinky and they are a must for naps and bedtime

7.  She likes to dress herself even down to her socks and shoes

8. She's a picky eater.  Pretty normal kid picky, no veggies, no fruit unless it's pureed, some meat only. Her favorite food is "izza"

9. She likes to sing in the car

10.  She's still a cuddler.  I hope she stays that way!

Getting dressed

I just love this picture.  Hana loves to dress herself and pick out her clothes.  She gets so mad if I try to help her.  If she does it herself she's so happy, even if her shirt ends up being worn as pants.  If I pick out something to wear and she doesn't like my choice, she makes it known that it's unacceptable.  She loves skirts and shoes and hair accessories.  Eli still could care less what he wears and asks me to get him dressed.  Sorry kid, that just isn't going to happen when your 1 year old sister is dressing herself!
