I can't beleive I have a kid that is three! Wow!

Here is a little update on Hannah:

She is amazingly smart, she knows all her colors, shapes, body parts. She can recognize all her numbers and almost every letter. She really really loves the letter H and is positive that she owns it. It is her letter. She can spell and write her name. She has also started drawing pictures of people. She drew a picture of all her friends and cousins on their valentines. Her speech is mostly perfect although she does have some adorable trouble with "th". She loves to hear stories, her favorites are about Swiper the Fox. She also loves to tell stories and we hear them constantly. She loves to read books and has recently discovered the library where she can pick out several differnt books, she really doesn't like to take them back though. She also loves to play pretend and we are often told who we get to "be" that day. She can count to twenty except she does say "five-teen". She loves music and knows every nursery rhyme I have never heard of. She also loves to sing some songs on the radio like Womanizer, Poker Face, and Brown Eyed Girl. She can sing Utah Man, and can recite the Pledge of Alleigence. She loves to watch sports, we watch the Yankees, the Avalanche, and of course the Utes. While watching sports she wants us to explain the rules of the game and also wants to know every players name.

She can climb anything and can jump and run for hours. She is doing great in her swimming lessons and loves the water. We got her a big girl bed that has a little play area underneath, and she sleeps all nightreally well. We have to give her lots of time and hugs in the morning before she is ready to get up. She usually convinces her daddy to get her dressed under the covers.

She wants to be self sufficient and she can dress and undress herself. She is totally potty trained, and also wants to do that by herself. She is learning her manners and is doing a great job on Please, Thank You, and No Thank You. She is totally perfect however on Your Welcome.
She had her first teeth cleaning and was an angel during the whole thing.
Her favorite shows are Dora, Little Einsteins, Blues Clues, and anything on Animal Planet. Her favorite toys are her blocks that she loves to stack, her baby that she loves to rock to sleep, and any ball she can play catch with her Daddy. We gave her a camera for her birthday and she loves taking pictures of her dog and the floor.
She is so sweet and caring, she wants all her animals to be warm and happy. She also wants her family to be happy and will give hugs and kisses freely. She loves to snuggle, mostly before bed and in the morning to prolong getting up.

We are mostly just amazed at her and enjoy even her bad moments. She has a great sense of humor and can get me to go from lecturing her to laughing out loud with just a look. She is an absolute joy to every one in her family.
Happy Birthday Hannah! We love you!
