She isn't walking just yet, she cruises around the furniture extremely fast though and occasionally steps out without holding on...only to fall on her butt!! We took her to the mall the other night and she will walk while you're holding one of her hands, but as soon as you let her go she stands there for a second, looks at you and falls down...  silly girl!
She likes her counting book. It's one of those real big thick 5 page books where the pages have crunchy stuff in them that make noise  I'm confusing myself, the books that have the teething rings on the spine of them...THOSE!!  She loves to look at it and look at the pictures and...chew on it 
Yes she is a big daddy's girl! She will walk up to daddy and put her arm up in the air and go DA DA DA DA like she is cheering for him and then she starts bouncing up and down...going da da da da!! It is the cutest thing. She also falls asleep easier for daddy, I guess she feels more secure in his big arms!!
My2Beauties replied:
THANKS!!!
I love to take her shopping because she sits in the cart like a big girl and entertains the crap out of everyone shopping and working there. She chants da da and sings and screams and laughs and grabs clothes and keeps everyone in stitches!!! I also love to cuddle with her when she is tired and ready to go to bed, those are such special moments
She does this thing where she gets really excited over nothing, we'll just be sitting there on the couch and she walks up and starts laughing hysterically, I mean to the point where she is out of breath! You laugh at her so hard you start to cry. And she throws her head back and laughs like an adult would when she does it!! It is the funniest thing 
Yes she says mama really well sometimes, but other times it sounds more like baba!!!
She is definitely more like her dad. She is really outgoing, energetic, and can have a temper when she is tired  Just like her daddy! I am more laid back and well...lazy! She just goes and goes and goes like the Energizer Bunny!
My2Beauties replied:
Thank you!
Her favorite snack would have to be animal crackers. I can sit her in her high chair and tear little pieces of animal crackers and she will stay there for an hour just to make sure she eats every crumb (she is learning to self-feed)!!! The whole time she eats them she goes mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
For Halloween she is going to be Minnie Mouse. It is so cute she has the little ears and everything! 
Her favorite cartoon character I think is Clifford the Big Red Dog, of course she watches this with her babysitter and her babysitter says it's the only show she will sit still for. Sometimes when I drop her off in the morning and she is fussy we can put Clifford on and she just stares at the TV in amazement.

What is the one thing she has done so far that has made your heart melt?
My2Beauties replied:
Thank you!
Hi CJ's MOM!!
She doesn't really have a favorite toy, she really likes anything that makes a lot of noise!!! I think it is cute when she hugs one of her baby dolls though!!!
She does like animals, my mom has cats and dogs and she walks up to them and pets them really gently and lets them sleep beside her! My mom also has an African Gray Parrot that calls her by name and she goes over there (not too close because we're scared he'll bite) but she'll hold her little pointer finger out like we do to hold the bird!
It has to be when she started giving kisses. When we say give mom kisses or give dad kisses she will crawl/cruise/or bend down or whatever to give you a big wet one right on the mouth!! I LOVE IT! I melt everytime!

My2Beauties replied:
Thank you, she is big 
She and her sissy absolutely adore each other! Desiree loves to play with her and dresses her up and does her hair (what little hair she has) and walks her into the room and says presenting Hanna! And Hanna walks in with the cutest grin on her face and just thinks she is in a pagaent or something. She likes to put hats and stuff on her head with different outfits, it's like her own little doll! Also when sissy is in the room she doesn't even want mommy to pick her up 
She is doing absolute wonderful without it!!! Thank goodness! She hasn't cried for her paci since the second night and she can fall asleep without anything now, well she takes a bottle before bed but you can take it out of her mouth before she is completely asleep and she does fine!!!! YAY! Next thing, the bottle...it's gone soon too! Wish me luck 
OMG does she ever love music We turn on MTV or something like that just hoping that music is on so she will dance. She bounces and cops her head to the beat and it looks like she is headbanging I catch her bopping her head in the back seat in the car all the time! Silly girl!
My2Beauties replied:
I kept looking and looking in baby books and name books and on the internet and everything I said DF was like no I don't like that So, finally I said what about Hanna..and we had already decided on the middle name because that is my middle name and he goes Hanna Marie...I love that name!!!! We didn't know if we should spell it with an H or not at the end and decided to be different and not to spell it that way! But it is so hard to find anything without the H on the end now!!
Hanna was breastfed for about the first 6 weeks, when I went back to work my boobs were so sore and I couldn't bear the thought of the pump!!! So I weaned her at 6 weeks, I wish I could've done it longer though, I was having bad leaking problems and real bad soreness!
I have never heard of Baby Einstein videos and where can I get these?? 
She is in 18-24 months and she is only 11 months old! She is a big girl, she weighs about 23-24 pounds now. It's so funny because the clothes I buy fit her waist because her belly is so big but they are long on her! I have to roll them up all the time!
redchief replied: You have a beautiful daughter! Good luck with all of those "growing up" things! She seems to be a real happy little girl!
Pretend you have a crystal ball and you are looking into the future... How do you expect to find your daughter in:
Ten years?
15 years?
20 years?
My2Beauties replied:
Thank you!
Her favorite food is mashed potatoes, anytime we give them to her she goes Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and smiles real big then she gets mad when mommy takes a bite Oh and she loves animal crackers too, I can put her in her highchair and give her little pieces of animal crackers on the tray, she will stay there until every last crumb is gone! LOL!
SHe laughs really hard when you act like you're chasing her whlie she is crawling she thinks that is hilarious and also when Desiree plays with her! She cracks up at Desiree!! She loves her sissy
Oh I didn't see this question and I just answered that.... She loves to play chase!!! She laughs so hard she can't keep crawling! It is so cute, I love to hear her laugh!
My L&D was very easy actually! I was having contractions for nearly two days but they were pretty far apart, like 10-15 minutes. I went home early from work on the 12th of Nov and went to the hospital, I was on 1 cm and not in active labor! However they told me I was close because I was effaced like 85% or something like that, can't remember! I had a doctor's appt the next day, my work went ahead and put me on maternity leave from then on. At the doctor's office I was only 1 1/2 cm but like 90% effaced!!! He told me he figured around 24 hours at the most and I would be in active labor since my contractions were still 10 minutes apart. So my DF and my dad took me walking the whole day! At around 8:00 pm the evening of the 13th my DF and dad took me out to dinner at King Fish and it was there that my contractions went from 10 minutes to 5 minutes to 3 minutes apart in no time flat, I couldn't even eat my dinner at that point since I knew I wasn't supposed to eat much and we left and went to the hospital. I was at 3 1/2 cm and after 1 hour they admitted because I had moved up to 4. I dind't have any bad contractions or pain at all until I was around 5 cm which seemed like hours later and so the nurse gave me Stadol I think it was! Knocked me out cold, I would never have that stuff again!  It stopped my labor completely because I was so relaxed and I slept for 2 hours not to mention it made me higher than a kite! After I woke up they had to put me on a pitocin drip and then they gave me my epidural, I was almost 6 cm by this time. I was in the hospital for 13 hours total. When the nurse told me I was 8 cm they had me roll over on my other side so the drip would go on the other side of my body, well then my water broke and I went from 8-10 cm in literally 2 minutes. I told the nurse I was pushing and she said no you're only 8 cm and I said I don't care I'm pushing, she checked me again and said Oh My We're having a baby! They called my dcotor in and the whole thing weny by really fast, I only had to push 4 times and out she came. She weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long, she graced us with her presence at 9:43 am on November 14, 2003!
My2Beauties replied:
Thank you, I am anxious to watch her grow up!
In 10 years, hmm she'll be almost 11! I say she will be making straight A's in school, she will probably be in some extra curricular activities such as softball, gymnastics, things like that, she will be very athletic and a very pleasant well-mannered playful young lady! Hee hee this is fun
In 15 years she'll be almost 16 so at this point in time she will still be making straight A's and be an all start in some extra curricular activity! Me and dad will be shopping for her a nice safe car and she will be bugging us about her license. I'm sure! Unless by then he drivint age has changed...which I think it should 
In 20 years, she'll be close to 21 and in college, hopefully somewhere close to Mom and working towards her bachelor's in anything she wants!!! She will have a 4.0 again because she is so extremely intelligent and mom and dad will be extremely proud, oh Gosh and old too!
