Hannah This Week in Video

It is only mid-week and I realized that we have
not taken many photos of Hannah. 
That is not totally true, I send photos
about 3-5 times a day to Adrian on his phone but
the photos are not good enough quality for the blog.
 I have been taking videos so
Adrian will not miss what is going on all day!

The first video is how Hannah eats her rice cereal.
We started feeding it to her last week and she is
starting to get the hang of it.  Except we have not
taught her manners as you will see!



The second one is her after she is done eating.
She was a little "plugged" up this week and it is normal
for the way she normally eats but she was more "plugged"
up this week, the most ever to date.  The reason
is most likely due to  her starting to eat a little bit of
solid foods.  She had just finished eating from
the first video, she was eating rice cereal
with some dark Karo syrup to help her 
"situation".  She is chatting maybe about being
grateful or being not grateful to Mrs. Van Dyke and Mar Mar
for the help to get "unplugged".  I will let
you decide how happy she was with her food!
She is grateful now!





And the last video is great!  It is her
playing with Daddy after a long day at work!
He can get her laughing so hard and it
is the sweetest thing!

She is definitely entertaining!

New Things

Hannah seems to be learning
things at a faster rate and quicker
than I can see!  Today for instance she
was sitting in her exersaucer while I was sewing.
She was right next to me the entire time
so that she will stay content.  I was sewing
(a new bib for her,you will see below)
and I looked down at her
and she had figured out that she could
make her seat turn!  We had tried showing it
to her before but she just got it on her own!  She still
cannot quite sit in it on her own yet, she still
needs a hand towel or two in the seat
to keep her upright.
taking a snoozes on the way to the farmers market
remember this hat?
this is how it fits now!
this is the last time she wears the hat,
  it was the hat she got in the hospital
Hannah rolling to her side
looks uncomfortable but this is Hannah on her stomach
and she is starting to pull her knees up, working
on that rolling over again,
no worries Hannah was not harmed
in the making of this photo!

she always smile nice for her Daddy, especially
when she is sitting with him!
The last time she laid in her crib,
the funny thing is that she really liked
it this time and did not want to get out!
smiling in her her pretty bib, got to love
those free bibs!
showing off her new bib momma made!

Hannah picked out these videos for you to watch!
She looked at all her videos with me and liked these
two the best, maybe she is trying to tell you something,
if you know what she is saying please let us know!

Check Up

Sorry no pictures for this update!
Hannah had her 4 month check up
this morning.  Hannah slept well last night
but I did not, as I knew what she was going to
be in for at the doctor's office.
She started out getting weighed and
measured.  She currently weighs 16 pounds
and she measures 27 inches in length!
She is getting so big so quickly!
She is currently off the charts
for her height and she is in the 95th
percentile for her weight.  They 
also measured her head and for what
ever reason they measure that in centimeters,
and her head measures 41 cm.
After all this was said and done the doctor
came in and said she is progressing very well.
She told me that breast fed babies tend to 
grow faster and/or are larger than babies who
are formula fed.  Her progress in all the things
she is doing is right on schedule as well.

Then came the fun part the shots!  Since
she had started her Hep B shot in the hospital, she
did not have to have that shot today.  So she had
one oral vaccine and 2 shots.  She was a rock star,
last time she cried for quite a long time but today
she cried for maybe 30 seconds!  And she
gave me smiles a lot today as well!  God is good! 
I prayed she would do good with the shots and
did she ever!  I will post some pictures again soon!

Many Faces of Hannah

Lately I have been taking many videos of
Hannah and it is hard to decide which ones
to post on the blog.  Then I realized that there
is a function on the camera to take multiple photos
with continually holding the button down.  And
thought it was about time to use it since a lot of
the time I miss Hannah's smiles due to the laps
in time of hitting the button and her smiling.  So here
is an array of photos I took with this function.  I just
took out the ones that did not turn out at all.




This one is out of sequence, she has a
cute smile often after she is done eating
and is getting ready to be burped.











We bought Hannah an exersaucer last month
and she was not able to sit in it.  So last night
we tried to put her in it again and she still
cannot sit up totally but she liked it for
a little bit.  She finally got frustrated
when the hand she wanted to play with was
also the hand she was trying to hold herself
up with.



Hannah smiling and laughing.
