Hannah's Favorite Sound

Hannah has been more and more expressive in her verbal communication over the past week. Most of the time I have no idea what she is saying, but she is SO cute trying! Hannah has been able to "bark" like a dog for a few weeks now, but this week has decided that she LOVES ducks. Rubber duckies in paticular! She carried around her duckie all around Target yesterday making "quack quack" noises. (sometimes it sounds like a cross between a quack and a bark) This is her favorite sound to make so far. As far a "real" words, Hannah has started saying "Da-Dee" (Daddy) instead of just da-da, "AYE" (hi), "kitty" (I think that is what she is saying!), ball, and ma-ma. I'm sure there are more, she is like a little sponge soaking in everything everyday. I'm hoping she will take her first steps here in the next coming weeks. Exciting stuff!
Other news here at the house, Josh finished the last of THREE of his correspondence classes he is taking this semester. He originally thought he had until the end of the semester, but got a notice in Feb. that everything for all three classes (which he hadn't started working on yet) were due by March 30th! He really worked hard and finished the last paper for the class this morning. He is a little closer to graduating! He still has to finish the rest of the FIVE courses he is taking including Greek, his biggest challenge. Go Josh!
I have begun feeling "little brother" move around tons. It is so encouraging to know he is alive inside me by feeling him move. We found a crib we really liked and decided to go ahead and purchase it at the good price we found. It is all set up now and waiting for him! (except we still need a mattress) I go for another dr appointment next Monday and we will get to hear the heartbeat again and just get a normal checkup. Pray that everything is well.
More news and pics to come!
