Hannah 出生一個多禮拜，新店阿媽就發現她特喜歡聼人説話，聼不懂但是超認真。
三個禮拜大的時候，媽媽發現她愛聼人唱歌，有一次抱著她唱歌，一停下來，她就啊啊叫，只好一首接一首的唱下去。
接著所有的人都發現她愛聽人說話、愛聽歌，全家掀起了一陣大家開唱，大家練自言自語的風潮。
新店阿公爲了將她定住，讓阿媽可以煮飯，引吭高歌了一個小時。
新店阿媽自己編了一大堆有的沒的小調，外加平劇和百老匯歌曲，連媽媽都沒聼過阿媽唱這些歌。
璇璇阿姨還上網復習兒歌大全，曾經為Ｈａｎｎａｈ小姐賣力演出一個早上。
説話方面，應該屬稚穎阿姨最所向無敵，因爲這個寶貝阿姨從小就天天跟他的熊娃娃們練習“單向聊天術”－完全不需要對話，就可以跟她的熊娃娃和Ｈａｎｎａｈ天南地北煞有介事的聊半天！實在太厲害了。媽媽要看齊！
Hannah太幸運了，所有的人都卯起來變花樣跟她玩，只是五花八門的對話和歌曲，常常聼的她耳花繚亂 - 用崇拜又有點不解的表情，張大嘴巴傻傻的看我們在那裏舌燦蓮花。
她這麽小，舌頭相對口腔根本太大，再羡慕也無法模仿我們的言語和歌曲啊。
Hannah五個禮拜大的時候，新店阿媽靈機一動，索性抱起她用啊啊啊唱音階- 因爲啊不用動舌頭。
結果Hannah還真的認真地聼阿媽的“新歌”，欣喜的發現“這個我也可以”，像模像樣的模仿起來呢。真是把大家都樂壞了。
現在和Hannah練“啊啊歌”就變成阿媽最愛玩的遊戲之一了。
We discovered early on that Hannah loves listening to conversations and songs. Once, she even protested vigorously in my arms each time I paused singing!
Miss. Yeung's preference has sent everyone in the family scrambling to perfect their monologue skills and learn songs we otherwise have no interest in.
Auntie Xuanxuan went online to learn a whole collection of nursery rhymes and gave Hannah an entire morning of free performance.
Auntie Ruby busted out her incredible monologue skills (mainly perfected by years of talking to her stuffed animals daily). She can talk about everything under the sun with Hannah and was pleased that Hannah is more responsive to her than her toy bears are.
Everyone came with their own bag of tricks to entertain Hannah. Hannah is mesmerized and looks at us in awe when we talk and sing.
Frankly, at her age, her tongue is too big relative to her jaw for her to pronounce the vast majority of the sounds that came out of our mouths.
When Hannah turned 5 weeks old, Grandma had the brilliant idea of singing "Ah" up the scale to Hannah - since pronouncing "Ah" does not require tongue movement.
Lo and behold, Hannah listened intently and started to make efforts to sing along. We all got a big kick out of it.
Singing is now one of Grandma's favorite games to play with Hannah.
