we headed down to see grandaddy and granwendy, their friends from church, and a few other friends of the family whom we hadn't seen in a while. this picnic is becoming an annual tradition, and hannah made friends with some of the children (and every single adult she made contact with). she liked her grilled hot dog, watermelon, broccoli salad, fruit salad, chips... pretty much everything. the # of people she did not recognize at her grandparents' property seemed to overwhelm her at first, but she quickly joined the other kids peering into the goldfish pond and playing with the assortment of balls and outdoor toys. the older kids had fun trying to use badminton rackets as bubble-makers. they sort-of worked. we missed seeing her younger cousin and her parents this year!
nursery was full again. the coordinators did some re-arranging, which meant combining 2 classes into one. we had 10 kids, and the time flew by as toddlers are a never-ending source of energy.
hannah is wearing her flowery/gypsy gymboree outfit, complete with hairbow and a bracelet. she looks so cute all dressed up as a girlie girl. i'm scared to trim her hair at all just yet... i don't want her to lose any of those beautiful curls permanently. perhaps she'll get a haircut before she enters kindergarten... but not much before.
her fascination with "cooking" continues, and she likes the 2 qt. sauce pan because she can fit more into it. she also likes squirt guns, though we only fill them in the bathtub.
teeth are coming in... don't care to make her mad enough to get a good count, and i always forget when she's hanging upside down or flying through the air during "ring around the rosy". 10-12, i think.
she has correctly identified more letters, especially those in her name. she can pant like an animal, and make a "psst" sound. daddy was trying to get her attention by saying ,"psst... i love you." she thought it was funny and copied him.
if you haven't seen her in a while, feel free to come visit! just give me a couple of hours warning so i can stuff things into closets.

Ah, those wonderfully sweet baby curls! I was thinking yesterday that I want one of Allison's to save in her baby book like my mom did with me, but I don't want to cut it off!
