H: "Look at this sweater cardigan my Grandma Loyd hand-knit for me!"
H: "How do I look?"
H: "It's really pretty, don't you think?"
H: "But it's too hot to wear right now! It's Spring now! Maybe in the fall when it's cooler outside!"
Our red tulips bloomed to welcome spring.
Doesn't Linus look so handsome by the tulips?
H: "Here, Linus, I have this stick for you!" L: "It's okay, I'm having fun with this one!"
H: "Are you sure? Here it is for you!"
L: "Thanks! Yum, yum, crunch, crunch!"
Hannah giving Linus yet another stick.
H: "Hey, I've got this mini stick for you too!" (while Linus chomps away merrily at his numerous other sticks)
L: "Thanks, Hannah!"
Hannah watching on proudly as Linus chews on the mini stick.
H: "Here's another one! This is so fun!"
Hannah thinking deep thoughts as she drinks her juice and stands in the sun.
Hannah eating snacks again, one of her favorite things to do at the playground!
Hannah wanted to help Daddy fix the front path.
She helped by shoveling the sand.
Umma helped too! (btw, Hannah insisted on umma wearing her hat!)
Hannah worked diligently moving the sand from one place to another.
H: "This is hard work!"
Time for a snack break! (in the stroller where she climbed into herself!)
H: "Mmm, mmm, mmm! yummy veggie stix!"
H: "These are good!"
H: "Here, would you like some weeds I pulled out?"
These days, Hannah loves to walk Linus on the leash all by herself. Here she's excited to go on a walk, while Linus isn't too sure what to think.
H: "Walking Linus is so much fun!"
H: "Off we go!"
Close-up shot of Hannah having fun on her walk! (you can see all 6 of her teeth here!)
Hannah walking Linus with a li'l swagger in her step!
Shot from behind. Doesn't she look like a natural dog-walker?
Here she is running now!
We took Linus into the park.
Here's Hannah making her funny face, walking with attitude!
And here's that funny face up close and personal!
Hannah showing off her tennis outfit with boots that she had picked out herself!
H: "We need some music playing!"
Hannah dancing to the salsa beat!
Dancing with SOUL (and all her might as you can see on her face!)
H: "That was GREAT, huh?"
H: "I need to move my nused Dora kitchen around."
H: "Gotta get something from behind the fridge."
Hannah now impersonating a broom as she sweeps the floor with herself.
Where are you going, Hannah???
Daddy w/Aliyah & Hannah outside of the restaurant where we had Uncle Ashok's graduation lunch.
Hey Hannah! H: "Hey what!?!"
H: "Check out my ladybug slippers! Pretty cool, huh?"
H: "Excuse me, I have to stir my tea."
H: "Daddy, what are you doing all the way up in that tree?"
Daddy: "Hi Hannah!"
Daddy looks pretty high up in the tree, huh?
H: "Whoa! He's way up there!"
H: "Hi Daddy!"
H: "Ummm, are you going to come down soon?"
H: "Oooooh, look! Daddy's coming down now!"
Lately, Hannah likes to close herself (& Linus) behind this gate (we know, we really need to repaint it!).
open....
.... and close!
H: "Hee, hee! You can't get me in here!"
H: "Peekaboo!"
