Happy 2nd Birthday Hannah





Thursday was Hannah's 2nd Birthday. She had a fun day celebrating with her little friends at school and her family at home. Hannah had a popsicle party (hence the red face in the pictures) and goodie bags at school. You would have thought that it was Christmas in August in our house. Hannah (and Alex) had a great time opening gifts and eating ice cream cake with Grandma and Grandpa. Alex had just as much fun as Hannah did because he thought the gifts were for him, too. At bedtime he moved the new doll baby bed from Hannah's room to his because he said his Black Bear needed a new bed. He also spent the afternoon pushing Black Bear around in Hannah's doll stroller. The novelty still hasn't worn off - he asked me this morning if we could take Black Bear for a walk in Hannah's stroller. Although, once Alex sees his new bike in the garage he will probably forget about Black Bear's walk.



Hannah has definitely left the infant stage and hit the terrible/terrific twos. She is very curious about her environment but is very moody exploring it. This next year will be exciting as Hannah grows into a little girl and I can't wait for the screaming to end and for the diapers to disappear. Happy Birthday Hannah-Girl!!

P.S. I've added the Hannah video - I'm not a very good video taker or movie maker but I'm trying. It's not too bad for my first attempt.

America's Next Top Model

Well, maybe not but Alex and Hannah sure are cute. I recently submitted pictures of Alex for the Company Kids Catalog Model contest and Hannah for the YoBaby Yogurt 2007 spokes-toddler contest. Considering that millions of kids probably entered I really don't expect my children to win. I just thought it would be fun to see what happens. These are the pictures that I submitted for Alex. I took Hannah to the Picture People in the mall since they took her picture and submitted them to YoBaby free of charge - so I'm not sure if I'll get to post them.
