Hi There! Hannah now says hi to just about everything, as long as they don't say hi first. She is a little shy in her response still, and says good-bye usually after people leave. It sounds like she says "Hayden," which is funny because this is Kirk's top pick for Baby X's name. She does say "Go," whenever she wants to go outside, and also knows ball, book, juice, eat, dog, cat, banana, Elmo (of course), bear, and she is now learning about sounds outside and is learning bird. We are slow going on signing, but Mom is not so consistent with signing to her all day. She does seem to understand the signs, but does not sign back, as far as I can tell yet.


Hannah loves her tomatos and is getting pretty good with her spoon, but can't quite scoop yet.

She loves her balls and chases them around inside and out. She kicks them and rolls around on them, giggling and squeeling.
She is getting so big, 13 months old and now in the big girl car chair facing forward, which she loves!!! She is still being a cling-on these days, and doesn't take being away from Mom too long and is getting more weary of people. I think she's worried that they will take her away from Mommy!! She's good at backing up and doing an about face when she feels she might be snatched by Grandpa Peter!!
