Hannah's first word

The title says it all.  Yesterday Hannah said her first word!

Hannah woke up.  I gave her a bottle, then we read a book or two (she was signing "book" to me while drinking her bottle).  After the books we changed her diaper, and got her dressed for the day.  After we were all done getting ready she and I said her morning prayers (which only last about 10 seconds).  At the end of the prayer I said "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

After a brief pause Hannah looked at me and said "Amen."

I smiled at Hannah and after congratulating her I started to laugh.  Amen for a first word!  How funny is that.  It was not a perfect pronunciation, but it was close and it was clear that she was trying to say amen.

I wanted to get a video of it today, but she was just way to focused on other things that it didn't happen.  I'll try in the next few days.

**By the way, she has been saying mama and dada for several months now, but it's all been gibberish talk.  This was the first deliberate spoken word.**

Inspiring

Yesterday, Nathan and I attended the Worldwide Leadership Training broadcast and it was awesome!

During the broadcast, this video was played and I just found it so inspiring that I had to post it on the blog.  What a great example this boy is.  Can you imagine what would happen to the world if we all acted like Spencer?

I hope that Hannah can find a guy like this when she grows up.
