Hannah has been a busy little girl. She is the most determined little thing that we've ever seen. She just wants to be up and playing w/ Big Brother. She does the same at daycare, trying to keep up w/ all the little ones and making loops around the house! Here's an update on our baby girl. I'll post pictures later!
CRAWLING / WALKING - She crawls like a crazy animal. Never sits still. She pulls herself up on EVERYTHING, and sometimes comes crashing down. She's a pretty tough cookie, most of the time w/ out crying. The other day she pulled herself up on my magazine basket, looked at me and walked herself closer to it. This past week she started pulling herself up in her crib so she stands in there and jabbers and talks until we go get her, then its ALL SMILES! Needless to say, its as low as it can possibly go. She walks a bit w/ us if we are holding her hands, and she goes along our window bench. Our since July 2008 has become the toy bench! :)
We are so blessed to have such a happy girl. She is always smiley and happy. But don't get me wrong, she gets upset. If she is hungry, and there is not a bottle near her - you WILL KNOW IT. Giant Alligator Tears and all. If she is upset or crying Kayden usually yells, "Hannah's mad, she needs a bottle."
SANTA - Hannah got to go see Santa TWICE! Holly and I took her to go see Santa at the Stew. Civic Center Tree Festival before all of our dancers arrived, and one shot later we had a giant smile! Then she got to sit on the Mall Santa's lap w/ Kayden. She wanted to make sure she could see us, and then she was just fine.
EARS - Hannah has had a rough couple of weeks, an ear infection in her right ear the week before Thanksgiving. Then the first weekend in December we noticed she was tugging on her ears...AGAIN! Brought her in last Monday and double ear infection, both ears. The Dr. looked at them and all she was was WOW. So they put her on some different medicine, and I am still not completely convinced that it is gone. Poor thing!
WEIGHT - Our little moose is at 20 lbs. At her ear infection appointment she was 19 lbs. 12 oz. She is snug in some 12 month clothes, but we've gotten out mostly 18 month clothes for her. Too bad the legs on the pants are like twice the size of her legs and the waist is snug! :) Love my chunka monka!
We are waiting for our new car seat to arrive (gotta love ebay stores) and then she will officially be out of her infant carrier. This is the same carrier that I can no longer lift very far. I have to get into the truck w/ it b/c I can't lift it in there. I really, really hope that she will like it. And hopefully it'll fit next to Kayden so she can see Big Brother!!
Hannah's most current fascination is with Kayden's cars. She knows where they are, where he hides them, and how to get to them. And it drives him CRAZY! He grabs as many of her toys as he can hold, carries them over to her, and then piles them all up on top of her, snags his car, and then says "there you go Hannah...your toys," with a giant grin on his face!
SLEEPING - Hannah is not the best napper, she loves to fall asleep in her car seat, and that's about it. She's never been a super napper, not at our house or daycare. This doesn't always make for the best evenings - but not sure how we can force her to nap. She gets up once a night for a bottle and then she's good until breakfast. She slept through the night this past weekend, that was AWESOME, but short lived!
EATING / PUKING - Hannah's spitting up has gotten a bit better. Some days she doesn't even spit or throw up at daycare. This may seem like a weird post, but for those that know Hannah this is HEAVEN! I can't wait until the day I can wear the same shirt all day! :) She's also started spitting, she loves spitting, and with me its recently been while she's eating!! She's gradually going through the jars of the thicker #2's...but she's starting to be pretty picky. We're going to maybe start moving to food food in the next few weeks. Its just so hard to know with her poor little tummy, we want to make sure we don't rush it. I'm calling today to schedule her 9 month appointment and we'll go from there!
