She's a water girl for sure!





Unbelievable. It's already the end of August. What a summer it has been! It finally got warm around here, so we have been swimming any way that we can: the pool is our favorite (here, there or anywhere) but we've also been at the beach, or even the lagoon with friends from church! Hannah is a fish, and though she's pretty much cautious in nature otherwise, she has no fear in the water (even if she goes under!) I'm pretty proud of her kickers, and that she'll go under the water briefly (eyes open and everything!) and she's getting pretty excited about jumping off the side to Mommy. Yep, she's definitely a water girl, for sure! Her favorite toy: a kickboard. And she covets the boogie boards the big kids have. (She can hardly move them, they're so much bigger than her, but she is determined to ride one if she can get her hands on one!
More pictures to come, but I just wanted to post a quick update. All this time in the sun is giving her quite the tan, she's starting to look like that little Coppertone girl!

boo boo...


Hannah's new favorite word. When she's not climbing the furniture (and even the door jambs!) like a chimp, she is running. As fast as she can... EVERYWHERE!!
So, a week or so ago, she fell and scraped her knee. Their was blood. So we cleaned it and then she got a Dora Band-Aid. Then she gleefully pulled off the band-aid. Try again. Stop her each time she tries. I ended up dramatically pointing to "Dora, Dora, Dora!!!" every time she tried to sneak that thing off her knee. So for a few days, she called her little boo-boo "Doh, Doh, Doh".
Now that she's not wearing a band-aid, it's officially a boo-boo.
She's so dramatic as she points it out and of course wants a kiss for it. "BOO-boooooooo" with the bottom lip out... adorable. Want to remember it forever.
Today, she was trying to climb up onto our bed and fell in the process. I happened to be in the next room at the moment, but I know because she proceeded to pantomime the whole thing to me... She showed me how she was climbing on the bed, pointed to the floor and then to her head and said, "BOO boooooo."
A whole story. One word. What will she think of next?
