Hannah's latest pretend play activity is taking pictures. My mom bought herself a necklace with a camera charm. She showed it to Hannah and let her wear it for a few minutes. Hannah immediately put it up to her eye and said "Smile, say cheese puff." My mom gave her a little toy plastic camera to take home with her and she has had the greatest time. You can tell she pays attention when we take her picture because she would bring me her camera and tell me to look at her focused one, she moved the toys to better light and went to change her lens. Too cute to watch!
Speaking of taking photos. Hannah is getting better about following directions and looking, standing, or doing what we ask her. Of course as with any three year old, she must be in a cooperative mood! And she doesn't last long before she says she is all done. But we have actually gotten some really cute photos with natural smiles. This is one of my recent favorites and I love Miss Abigail in the background.
Hannah was very exited to 'wake up' the Christmas tree after Thanksgiving. We told her last January when we put up the tree that it was going to take a VERY long nap. =) I decorated the big tree during the girls nap. Nathan and I both had small trees that we used in our apartments before we got married. They have been sitting in the attic since we bought our house. We decided to bring one small tree out this year to put up in Hannah's room. She couldn't quite hang the ornaments independently. So, I laid them out, she picked one, and told me which branch to hang it on. We placed the decorated tree on top of her dresser (out of Abigail's reach) and turn the lights on whenever Hannah is awake. Abigail has done surprisingly well with our big tree. She has only pulled off one or two ornaments and hasn't tried to pull up on it.
I think I would officially call Hannah potty trained!!!! We hardly ever have accidents and we recently started napping in panties. She still sleeps in a pull-up at night, but Hannah almost always wakes up dry. Such a big girl!
Monkey has been busy this year taking his monthly picture with Abigail. Hannah was excited to take her picture this time and asked for balloons. She had SO much fun with them! Hannah's favorite place to go eat is Chick-fil-a, so we are taking her there for dinner tonight. Then we're doing our family celebration Friday night so Aunt Kara and G-Pa can join us. Hannah is at such a fun age, this should be a fun birthday!
