Four Years Old

I still can't quite believe that my sweet little girl is four.  She has grown up so much in the last year.  She is much better about following directions and can do LOTS of things on her own.  She's also gotten taller and lost some baby fat so she looks like a big girl too.

Hannah is really good about playing independently.  She has such an active imagination it's fun to listen in.  She cooks in her kitchen, puts on her purse to go to Chick-fil-a, the store, the park, etc.  She takes good care of her babies and stuffed animals.  They get feed, wrapped in blankets, rocked, and read to.  Sometimes she takes them to the doctor for a check up or to get shots too.  Sweet girl!


Most of the time Hannah is sweet and cooperative, but she certainly has her defiant moments.  She still takes a nap most days, but is good to play quietly in her room if she doesn't sleep.  Very thankful she's good about staying in her room so mommy still gets a break.  =)  She is SUPER grumpy if she doesn't nap so I'm not quite ready to take it away from her yet. On days she does nap she is up later at night.  She still goes to bed at the same time, just talks to herself for a while before actually going to sleep.  I will probably stop making her sleep sometime this summer if she hasn't already given up the nap on her own.  She will still have quiet time in her room to look at books.  That time will be good for her and for me!

Hannah had her 4 year check up this morning.  She is 36.4 pounds and 42 1/2 inches tall.  The doctor said everything looks great and they were impressed with all the things she knows.  Hannah got 2 shots and didn't cry at all.  She will get the other two in a few weeks when we go back in for Abigail's check up.


In addition to taking a photo with monkey we also took some other photos to commemorate her birthday.  FUN!



We are celebrating with my family on Saturday so stay tuned for cake photos.  =)
