4 Months-Hannah


  It seems like Hannah is getting bigger by the day.  She went from size 1 to 2 diapers literally overnight!  Mostly wearing 3 to 6 months clothing.  Hannah is still on 5 oz. bottles 6x a day; sometimes gets 6 oz. at bedtime.  
  Speaking of bedtime that's hit or miss.  She will sleep from around 8 to 5ish several nights then gets restless.  I honestly don't think it's hunger; I think she just wants to get up.  No mam!  Hannah is no longer sleeping completely swaddled but I have kept her tummy wrapped with her feet in the sack.
  Naps are horrible!!! Bless her heart!  Hannah cat naps all day at school then maybe a short one at night.  I think this may be part of her bedtime issues.  She is so exhausted and has trouble relaxing. There isn't really much I can do because she is at daycare all week.  I plan on putting her in the crib at nap time on weekends but we are always on the go!
  We went for her checkup and I asked tons of questions.  Her doctor doesn't promote cry it out until at least 6 months which I agreed with.  She suggested soothing, paci, etc. but don't jump right to a bottle.  Dr. Stewart said solid foods are fine and that we can skip oatmeal.  Her formula has added rice starch so I'm probably going to finish the oatmeal I bought then start purées!  She took her shots like a champ; didn't cry barely at all. 
  Hannah is developmentally on track...  Once we can get the nap thing figured out we will be golden!! 
  Hannah is the perfect piece to complete our family puzzle.  She is laid back most of the time (esp. for not napping like she should) and a complete blessing.          Hannah still searches for William and watches him while he plays.

Out and About

  I am all about getting out of the house til around noon then I'm exhausted!  We decided on a Mcwane Science Center yesterday since it's in the AC and Hannah could go.  
  Of course we were up early so we fed the geese and made a quick trip to Wal Mart.  After feeding Hannah we headed downtown.  
  Hannah slept most of the time but woke up at the end.  The bud needed shorts so we ended up at the mall for lunch.  By this time Hannah was losing patience!  She did great though because Rudy wore her facing out!  I can't believe she can already face out!  
   
 


Busted in and wouldn't sit by Rudy for a pic..

Get me out of here or I'm gonna embarrass you!!

3 Months-Hannah




5 oz. bottles/6x a day
0-3 month clothes but some are getting too short
Size 1 diaper
Red hair but has some light areas...wonder if she will turn blonde.
Blue eyes

Takes a paci but not near the fan that her brother was!
Sleeps swaddled but will bust out if it is not tight.
Sleeps from about 8 to 5:30.
Naps are not great at school and she is awake for hours at a time at daycare
Needless to say Hannah comes home exhausted and passes out for most of the evening
She naps like she should on the weekends...eat, wake, sleep cycle.

Does well in the car but really is not in there but to go to school and back.
Loves, loves William and always smiles at him. He loves her and only sometimes gets too rough.
Gets a bath every night because of the re-flux. Which by the way is terrible and I have not seen much improvement. I hope starting solid food in May helps it.

Hannah's favorite thing is to stand up!! William didn't put weight on his legs for a very long time! Every time she eats she wants us to stand her up. She also sits up with support no issues. Tummy time is no problem either but she tires easily.

We tried the bumbo and she is still too skinny for it. She grabs blankets and our shirts...

I occasionally call her "Hanny" or "Little Lady."

Hannah amazes us every day and as busy as life is we can't imagine not having her!!
