Hana is very chatty and no longer shy

 Hana is 19 months old today, and here is what she has to say:
HI mommy/daddy (80% of the time to the right person)!  Hana like to run around outside, so she runs at top speed repeating Outside/Door (while marching in that direction)..but first…SHOES (while finding them/handing them over) and HAT (crisis if that is not immediately available).  If she can’t find them (or anything these days), she says in a little sing-song voice, “shoes, ee are you”–learned directly from Maya, who still says “ee are you” instead of where are you.

Wait, we’re only thinking about going outside if…
EAT EAT..that’s right.  Hana needs pretty much constant nourishment and watering.  Hana talks about food, quite a bit, actually.  Like 60% of her words are food related.  MORE, mommy, MORE (Hana’s first word)!  Cereal, cheese, peas, soup!  Wait, we’re sick of those things/Hana has cleared the house of them?  That’s cool, she can spot the fruit bowl–(ba)nana, orange–lots of shouting about fruit.  And Hana does not want things on her tray.  She wants a BOWL and spoon, pronto.  NOW. 

Hana will say “PEEZ” for please and something like thank you with a little baby sign.  Very cute.  And on the off chance she is done eating before you cut her off/run out of food, she says “all done”. 

One of Hana’s very cutest moves is saying BOOK and something that sounds a little like read, then thumping her chest and marching over to you.  Get prepared, because no matter what you were doing, you’re reading to Hana now.  And if you’re Maya, be prepared to be shoved, HARD, out of the way.   At the end of the time we shout BATH! and say night night to everyone.  Including her beloved bunny (animals are another thing Hana loves to talk about).  Hana’s bunny is quickly rising to Boof status (Hana also knows Boof’s name), and the bunny is named Abby–Hana randomly named it herself.
