When Hannah was little I used to tell people that she was shy.  She now waves, says hi, talks to, and sometimes hugs all sorts of people.  Most of them are people she sees at church on a regular basis, but she will talk to people at the grocery store too.  Usually she'll tell them her name and then make sure they know who Abigail is too. 

We've had several different friends over for play dates recently and Hannah would rather show the adults all her toys than play with her friends.  Not sure how much she actually plays with the other kids at church either.  She can tell me all about who was there and what they were doing though. =)  Hannah seems very content to play by herself and talk to her imaginary friends.  She will play with Abigail sometimes, so I'm sure things will change as she gets a little bigger.


Hannah only gets a few of her letter sounds confused now.  She comes to me all the time and says things like "Mommy toy stars with t" or "help starts with h."  She is becoming very aware of beginning letter sounds and sometimes she can tell me what she hears at the end of a word too.  If I break a word apart for her like "bu, uh, gu (bug)" she can spell it.  If she tries on her own the middle letters and often vowels get left out.  That is totally normal though.  She still amazes me with how much she is learning.  Writing letters is going much slower.  It's hard and she frustrates easily.  So we're just going slowly since we have plenty of time.

I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures.  Grammy bought Hannah these adorable boots and she LOVES them.  She's going to be a cowgirl for Halloween. 

We've recently done lots of baking with Grammy too.  Hannah's new favorite thing to do is lick the beaters when we're done.  Love the look on her face!
