"Dooning"

I just wanted to record some of the funny things Hannah is saying these days. She really is quite a crack up!

-"What are you dooning, Mommy?!" Hannah sayings doing like "dooning" or "dune-ing." She asks this question ALL the time.

-"Guess what?" The thing is, she really doesn't know what this means. I'll say, "what?" back... but she has no response. She just heard me say it once and now she says it.

-"...really?!" This is another one she's repeating from me.

-"So!" Then she smacks her lips several times! I swear I don't so that. I don't know where she picked it up.

-Whenever some thing is red, she always makes reference back to Nic's truck. "Its red, like daddy's truck."

-The other day she said "I love it." I asked, "You love what?" And in a very matter of fact voice, she said, "I love books."

-"See?" She always wants me to "see" what she is doing, something in her book, etc.

-Ever since her birthday at the beginning of July, she has been singing Happy Birthday to herself. She'll say, "Its my happy birthday!.... Eat cake!" Then she'll sing "Happy birthday Hannah, Happy birthday Hannah, Happy birthday to Hannah."

-She's so good at telling us we are nice. She'll often say, "Daddy nice." But then she'll say it for me and herself too. Also when Nic tells her she's cute, she'll say, "Mommy cute too!" Isn't she nice!?

-"Daddy home soon!" She often says this first thing in the morning. She loves her daddy and wants him to get home soon. Hannah will get so sad when I tell her "No, daddy won't be home soon." Once when she said it at breakfast, I told her he would be home for dinner. She said, "No, Daddy home, Golden Grahams!" (We were obviously eating Golden Grahams for breakfast that day. She didn't want to wait until dinner for him to come home!)

I'm sure there are others, but that's the list for now. She is learning so quickly. We got a babysitter the other day and after wards Hannah said, "Rachel was here for 2 hours." She was here longer than that...but still it was quite the sentence and comprehension! Nic is always amazed at the words she knows. She said something was sour and he was like "How does she know what 'sour' is?!" I told her I taught her what it was. She is taught or hears something and remembers, which also means we have to be careful what she hears and is taught! We were at the grocery store today and she heard one of the associates say, "oh, crap!" Hannah then repeated it over and over for several minutes until I could think of something else more fun for her to say. "Bubble gum" is what I came up with. What a fun age! Hannah is developing and growing so much. We sure love her!
