Steps

Sorry for not keeping everyone informed, but we've been very busy around here. Last weekend Hannah took her first unassisted steps. 4 of them. We're very proud, but so far the only person she's interested in walking to is me. She will sit down rather than walk to anyone else.Christmas is only 2 days away, and I can't wait to see Hannah with her gifts. I'm very excited for her! I will take lots of pictures, and I am sending Steven out for video tapes, so we can record it also!

Babababa

Hannah finally has a new sound. No more dada dada. It's like she's forgotten in all together. Now everything is babababa. It's very cute.

Another Tooth

Hannah's third tooth popped through last week on Thursday. You still can't see it, and only a corner popped but you can feel it. I can't wait until she has more teeth, they're really so cute!I'm excited for Hannah's first Christmas. She won't understand, but I know she'll have fun with her gifts from us (and everyone else)She's getting so big, I'm going to have to move her into the next size clothes, because she's too tall. I don't have any idea how I'm going to make them stay up though, she's just too darn thin.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was interesting... she didn't think much of the food, but I think she was stressed about all the people. She slept through dinner at Carols, and didn't want to share when we ate at Dad's. Went to church this weekend, and she did really well. She even played with a little girl at church and shared her toys. Well, the little girl took them, but at least Hannah didn't scream. She's been so much fun lately, but I'm starting to realize that she's not a baby anymore. She looks more like a kid than a baby!Will update after her appointment on Tuesday afternoon.

Good/bad

Hannah did really well sleeping last weekend, but she's full on into her stranger/separation anxiety. She pretty much screamed every time someone other than me had her. I hope she can get over it soon.Yay, today is Thanksgiving! Hannah's going to have fun, I hope... we're almost done packing the diaper bag, and she's down for her nap. When Steven comes back we can go to Carols, and then up to Dad's! Hope she has fun with all the food.

Night away

So tomorrow we're off and we'll see how well she deals with a night away from home. We got her weaned off her mobile, since she broke it anyway. Now she has her bunny with the pull tail. Wish us luck!

Standing and Walking

Hannah is just more and more fun as days go by. She's now laughing spontaneously... and clapping, which I think is great. She's standing longer and longer on her own, and will actually walk behind her push toy for quite a while. There are pictures of this in her photo album. We had to take her to the dr's on Friday, because of a suspected ear infection, but so far so good. And she's 8 months old and weighs 16lbs 2oz... so she's gained over 1 1/2 lbs since she was there 2 months ago.
