2 years!

Hannah turned 2 a few weeks ago and I didn't want too much time to go by without writing about it. Hannah's birthday was on a Friday. We had a few friends over that day to play. When Jake got home from work that evening we took Hannah swimming and out for an ice cream cone.  

                                             

The big party with family was the next day.

One of Hannah's favorite animals is a monkey, so we went with that theme for the party. Hannah and her cousins all had fun playing in the little pool.   

Hannah loved opening her presents. She had to put the presents that were clothing items on as she opened them.

Before her birthday we took Hannah to the store to try out different tricycles Hannah insisted on wearing a helmet. So we decided to get her one. It is still a little big, but I can't complain, she is learning to be safe early:)

Hannah was so excited to open her new bike. She kept yelling "my bike", "my bike" as she opened the present. It was definitely a hit!

The kids dove into the cake after we sang. Luckily we had plenty of cupcakes for the adults!

Here is the cute 2-year old. My little girl is growing up way too fast!

Here are Hannah's measurements from her 2 year appointment:

Weight: 27 lbs (55%)

Length: 35.8 (90%)

Head: 18.5 (25%)

A few things about Hannah:

One of my favorite things about Hannah is that she has always been really friendly since she was tiny and doesn't hesitate to go to anyone. She is still that way. She is a little timid about trying new things at first, but she usually gets over it pretty fast once she realizes that whatever it is she is doing (swimming lessons, music group etc.) is ok. She is pretty resiliant and bounces back quickly after getting hurt. She dropped a brick on her little toe a few weeks ago and lost her toenail. She hardly even cried and never mentioned it again as her toe was healing. Hannah has inherited her dad's fear of heights. I am actually glad about this because I never have to worry about either of them doing anything too crazy. This  trait has also kept Hanah from being daring enough to climb out of her crib (another plus). Hannah loves music, dancing, dressing up, reading books and coloring.  

I had to throw this picture in here also. My birthday is just a week before Hannah's (she was actually due on my birthday but was 1 week late). I had such a wonderful day spending it with my kids and sweet husband.
