Thankfully I still put notes in her baby book because I have been TERRIBLE about updating the blog with her milestones!
This little girl is something!! I can not even count how many times a day Ej and I are both commenting on how cute she is. She has so much personality..she's spunky, feisty and sweet all at the same time! From what she has shown us so far she will have no problem standing up for herself when she gets older.
Definitely later than I would have guessed (judging by how much she liked to babble as a baby) but she is now building her vocabulary. She says mom, dada, more (mo), cheese, please (ease), yogurt (which sounds like wo-wurt) wa wa (water), bowl, me, no, yes (es), ball, doggie...I can't think of the others right now but I'm sure there are a few more. Since Gabe wasn't talking until he was much older we didn't experience this with him so it's neat going through this with her.
She is still just as clumsy as ever although I think she is starting to realize that she can't fly which means she needs to pay attention when approaching stairs/steps. I love watching her run or when she tries to imitate Gabe jumping...she looks like she is skipping.
I see such a special relationship growing already between Gabe and Hannah and it makes my heart happy!! Of course they don't always get along, but when they do it's so sweet and Gabe can be so gentle with her and truly takes on the role of big brother, he'll even let me know when she is getting into something she's not supposed to...imagine that ;-) I have always had a great relationship with my brother and I pray that will always be able to count on each other through life!
She has been dropping her nap a couple times a week, and still isn't completely sleeping through the night. A couple weeks ago for the first time she slept through the night 2 nights in a row...but has gone back to waking a couple times.
Hannah at 20 months and Gabe at 20 months seems so different to me....not sure if it's a second child thing, but Hannah still seems so little to me and Gabe seemed like such a big boy when he was her age. Regardless I'm happy I still look at her as a "baby" because they do grow up so fast so I just want to cherish all these moments!
