She's Got Skills...

Hannah has developed lots of new "skills" these last few weeks so I thought I would share them with you guys. She's got: dancing skills, pickle-eating skills, table-drumming skills, shopping skills, air-licking skills, finger-sucking skills, tree-climbing skills, toy playing skills, pulling up skills, and last but certainly not least, crawling skills.

One of my favorite things to see her do is dance. Any time music comes on whether it be on TV, on a toy, or through us singing to her, she starts rocking and flailing her arms and usually mumbles stuff too. It's hilarious! Ever since she was born she seemed to be really affected by music and appears to be continuing as she gets older. It's so fun! She has also learned to sit up on her own, from a laying down position. My mom was in the living room with her one day and she said something that made me look over. I noticed that she was sitting up near the TV and asked how she got there and my mom said that she sat up. When I told her that Hannah could not do that, she said that she could now because she had been watching her do it for a while now! I was so excited to see her new "trick." Hannah is also crawling. Right now it's just a few steps at a time (in the forward direction at least), but she is getting better everyday. She's so cute because she knows that she has done something special when she moves because she squeals with excitement when she actually moves.

Now that I have given explanation, I will let you see her skills through pictures. Enjoy!

Pickle-eating skills: Her grandpa thought it would be funny to give her a pickle one day, but she actually seemed to like it because she ate it. Then she ate another one when Jon gave it to her...while I don't approve of her pickle eating, I have to admit that her face is pretty hilarious!
Table-drumming skills: If Jon drums on the table, she will mimic him and do it too.
Shopping skills: She really seems to enjoy shopping...or at least doesn't mind it because she likes cruising around in her stroller.

Air-licking skills: She has been sticking her tongue out like a crazy lady the last few weeks. She really acts like she is trying to lick the air, or your face, or her face...

Finger-sucking skills: Hannah hasn't ever really liked pacifiers and never really sucked or her thumb or fingers consistently when she was little. Things have changed (we think due to teething) the last few months and she sucks, mostly on her index finger now.

Tree-climbing skills: We don't know how she gets into the tree, but we think it's adorable and definitely picture worthy! :)

Toy playing skills: Hannah got lots of toys for Christmas so she has been busy breaking them all in the last week or so, and she has been loving it!

Crawling Skills: This is a picture of her backwards crawling skills. She got herself backed into the corner next to the TV and as you can tell she is really excited about it. What's even funnier is that she is really fast backwards. She crawls backwards and sideways and gets around pretty quickly, yet forward is tough. Maybe she just thinks, all babies crawl forward, but how many crawl backwards and sideways? She just has special skills, that's all!
