a girly girl & her mommy

our little girl is the perfect mix of girly girl and tomboy. she LOVES getting dirty, picking flowers, killing bugs, etc. but she also loves to wear her pretty dresses. this one is still a little big, but i couldn't resist the cheesy matching mommy shot after we were ready for church on Sunday.

by the way, by the time we picked her up from nursery, all of her accessories (except her shoes) were in her tote bag.

she has also become quite taken with having her nails painted. After her most recent "pedicure", i decided my toes needed a touch-up, too.

flash-card gospel

Hannah has a set of addition flash cards which came from GranWendy & GranDaddy's downsizing attempts. She frequently takes them out of the box and mixes them up, but we have not really introduced the concept of math symbols for addition.

As I was doing my prenatal exercise video (which was her idea for me to do in the first place), she shoved a card in my face.

"Look, Mom, a pretty 2. Look Mom, a 8. Look Mom, a cross," she said.

"That's actually a plus sign, but it does look like a cross."

"Jesus died to the cross for our sins!" She exclaimed. Over and over and over again. Apparently she was paying attention during her lessons at Family Bible Adventure (our church's VBS).

she knows who to ask...

So, when Gramma & Papa visited this weekend, Hannah sneakily asked Gramma, "How about we look under the cabinet for lotion?" Or something similar.

There is a reason I have rubber bands around the knobs, and Hannah doesn't usually even bother asking me or explore under there herself.....

Of course, Gramma found the lotion. At least she didn't give her scissors. ;)

FBA recap

Our church's Family Bible Adventure week (4 days) has finished for the summer.
Hannah's class got to go to the preschool puppet shows and music time, make crafts, and was told Bible stories. And the weather was perfect for time on the playground.

Yesterday I asked her about her day...
mommy: "What did you do in your class today?"
Hannah: "Andrew.."
mommy: "Oh, did you have fun playing with Andrew?"
Hannah: "Mm hmm. He's my best friend."

This morning I kept Hannah in the room I was working in until her teachers got set up and other kids started arriving. I saw Andrew's Mommy drop him off across the hall, so I asked if she was ready to go play with Andrew and her other friends.

"No. I stay with Mommy."

I'm glad that for now, Mommy trumps friends. It won't be long before she outgrows that. :(

Father's Day

I couldn't choose just one favorite. The "craft" is from nursery at church today.

1st phone call just for Hannah

The phone rang yesterday morning, it was Aunt Becca saying that Juliana wanted to call Hannah. Sooo sweet. I love speakerphone, by the way. Maybe soon the girls will be calling eachother when we aren't paying attention.
