Today Hannah had her 6th month appointment. Unfortunately, she's been congested and running a fever over the weekend so we found out she has an ear infection in both ears. I think we've been incredibly blessed since this is really the first time she's been sick, hopefully now that we're on the antibiotics, the trip to Missouri won't be too hard on her. We delayed her 6 month shots until we get back and are sure the ear infections are cleared up. We're having a hard time dealing with her being in pain and not being able to help her very much. Just have to hold her and love her.
For good news, she is sitting up all by herself and has very good control. She's very inquisitive and notices new things very quickly. She has recently been very interested in jewely and I've actually been wearing more because its easier to make sure she doesn't pull so hard that she will break it. She likes to eat/lick her toes. She is rolling both ways and will usually start on one side of the room and quickly make it to the other side. She loves to stand up and I think she'll be cruising (holding on to the furniture to walk around) very soon. She also has very good focus, she will watch a full espisode of a TV show or play with a single toy and check out all its sides (and flavors). She has huge thunder thighs but I think those will disappear soon.
She is 17.13 lbs, 27 inches and in the 90th percentile. She's beautiful.
18 wks (6/16/2008)
Schedule:
She doesn’t have a strict one.
Usually, she will eat, play for about an hour, nap for about 30-45 min, play for awhile again, then start over.
- She makes this coughing sound usually when she is hungry and sometimes when she is sleepy.
Favorite thing to do:
Lay on her back and grab her toes.
Make high pitched squealing noises.
Favorite toy:
Stuffed pooh bear, she likes to stick it in her mouth
Trying to get her to learn:
How to roll from her back to her stomach (she is almost there)
How to hold her bottle
Tummy time:
Starting to push up on her knees (with her head smashed into the floor), it makes her mad
Food:
Breast milk only, about 5 ½ oz per feeding.
She likes it kind of warm but it doesn’t need to be hot.
Naps:
We try to limit the pacifier to naps and has a little blanket that she usually pulls over her head. Sometimes you have to give her the pacifier a couple times before she settles down and falls asleep.
4/10/2008: I am two months old now. I had a checkup yesterday and had to get 5 shots. That made me mad. I weigh 12.6 lbs and am 23 inches long. I have grown out of the newborn clothes and can fit comfortably into most of my 3 month outfits. I can hold my head up and support my weight on my legs as long as mommy helps me with my balance. I have figured out that I have hands and am starting to try to reach for things, but I don't always get my arm going where I want it to. I am smiling most of the time and starting to make some cooing sounds.
Mommy starting working again two weeks ago and everything is going well. Daddy stays home with me on Wednesdays (and I don't have to take naps).
