Why?

I wouldn't change a single thing about her and she is designed perfectly to specifications and lovingly created. So... I'm not questioning the design or anything.

But every once in awhile, I do kind of wonder why oh WHY is Hank's arm just long enough to reach out and grab my nose while nursing? No matter how I try to move my head away, that little grabbin' Han is just right there.
I also question why the baby has such strength that once she has my nose, I can't wrench it from her grasp. And while we're asking questions... why does she think it's so ridiculously funny!?

Not among my questions: "am I making enough milk?" They say you can tell by looking at the corners of a baby's mouth to see if she is getting anything. With Han, you just make her laugh and see if any comes out her nose.

Hannah the Sunday School Teacher

Oh that Hank! She is so very sweet-spirited and inclusive. She's such a sweet little hostess, friend, helper and teacher.

Today she was sitting, reading her book out loud and Clark was concerned because she wasn't reading it right. So without getting her little feelings hurt or anything, in her most Sunday School teacher-ish way, she turned the book around and showed me the chair in the picture.

"See?"

"See "Lahkie?"

"hmm... something's not quite right since I read to you guys."

"See? You messed it all up."


"Class is over. =)"

Lost In Translation

Dear Daddy,

I know I'm only 1 year old so I don't communicate everything I want perfectly yet. I feel like we had a little issue at post nap snack today that I wanted to clear up. When I say "all done," it means I am all done sitting at my high chair, not nescessary that I am all done eating. I am perfectly happy to eat any food someone may offer me or drop on the floor. That being said, in the future, would you mind waiting until you set me free to consider my leftovers fair game? I enjoyed watching you eat and all... but I prefer to watch from the floor.

Thanks for your kind consideration :)

Hank
