Oh the joys of a 16 month old! Hannah's fixations vary week by week as she grows and explores. Lately, she wants to carry three things around the house with her at all times: 1. the hello kitty purse (usually filled with wheels or legos stolen from brother's room) 2. an animated stuffed dog (with dead batteries) 3. "Lulu the letter spinning spider" book (a Leap frog book that she REFUSES to actually put in the leap pad). She points to the spider and then tries to do the motions from the Itsy Bitsy Spider - her favorite song by far.
She spends 90% of all awake hours looking at books or begging for a book to be read. There are constantly books ALL OVER THE FLOOR. I try to rotate them out from the bookshelf in her room.
She would love to also carry around "Big Baby" (name that movie), but alas, this doll is heavy and hard to tote. Hannah can manage to get her in a head lock and drag her around a little. Unfortunately, Hannah also has decided that I need to help take care of Big Baby. If I sit in a chair, she brings her to me to hold. She gives the doll her blankie and milk and wants me to feed her and kiss her. And of course we have to read to "Big Baby".
Hannah has discovered hiding from mommy and has a few favorite spots. She especially loves to hide when she sees me get my keys and it's time to take or pickup brother from school. Not such a fun game for mommy!
She gets in spells where she will pat the top of her head and whine for a hair bow if it has fallen out. Such a 180 degree flip from 2 months ago!
Hannah has learned to stand up for herself against the pesky big brother. When he tries to smother her with love or take away one of her toys she SQUAWKS so loudly and swats her hands at him. He's learning. :)
