Hannah update 2.5ish years old

Hannah continues to amaze us with how smart she is!  She is awesome at puzzles, has just about all of her books memorized, and knows the words to an unbelievable number of songs.  She loves to sing both country songs and songs she has learned in Bible study.  It is the most precious thing to hear her belt out little Bible verses that her class has learned to a little tune.  Out of nowhere, she showed me how you draw an H, and has been asking to be taught many other letters.  She has also really taken off in her imagination.  She plays with her dolls and is such a good mommy to them.  She cooks up lots of goodies in her kitchen, and often tells me things like, "when I was a kangaroo, I could hop really high".  She is also incredibly tender hearted.  She cannot stand it when Ethan is sad, and often asks to pray for her friends and family.  She has gotten really good at jumping and still loves to dance and now "do ballet".  She is becoming pretty agile and has really good balance. We've been going to an open toddler playtime at our YMCA's gymnastics gym, and Hannah does the balance beam really well!  Hannah has also really gotten excited about dressing herself and she has such determination that she tries and tries until she gets it right.  She loves to pick out her clothes, and has lately not been wanting to wear dresses because she can't reach them by herself as they hang in her closet.  She seems to be a very cautious child when trying new things at the park, but she is also resilient, not allowing a fall to stop her from getting back to trying again!  She has grown so much and is wearing 4t clothes!!!  She can definitely still fit in most of her 3t stuff, but it is just amazing to me how much she is becoming a little girl, rather than a baby or toddler. She is silly, sensitive, smart, obedient, opinionated, and perfectly her!  We love our Hannah Page so much and are so excited to continue watching her grow!

A few cute things she's been saying lately:

"This is my special occasion book"

Mommy: "You are my favorite 2 year old in the whole world"
Hannah: "Yeah, I'm pretty good looking!"

"That's for sure"

"Mommy, this H is terrible" After drawing an H that had very squiggly lines.

While "working" at her desk, "Mommy, do you want an e-mail or an r-mail?"

"I haven't had _______ once in a while."

"Super why is a good ole boy!"

"Mommy, can I interview you?" while holding a cheese stick pointed at her mouth.
