October with Hannah

Hannah is such a character... there is never a dull moment when she is around. Here are a few recent Hannah stories:

I was very curious to see how she would adjust to having the baby around & having to share Jeff & I, but she is shocked us & done remarkably well with the change. I was also very interested to see her reaction to the whole nursing process, but again she surprised me.... she didn't take much interest at all. But one day she did ask about it, & it sounded like this: "What is Baby Milo doing to your elbows." I got a good laugh out of that.

Hannah has had some sleeping issues lately. My poor mom had to deal with them for the whole 17 days she was visiting. She was really fighting us on going to bed. After going through the whole bedtime routine, once she was alone in her room she would scream this terrible scream & yell for me to come in.. It didn't matter if we extended the whole bedtime routine or made it shorter, the screaming still took place. And if I gave in & went in her room it didn't seem to matter much either, & sometimes made it that much worse! My mom sure found a lot of enjoyment out of the screaming & yelling. It took me awhile to realize it was because of the lack of sleep. But once we started putting her to bed earlier the screaming session got shorter & then was a thing of the past.

On Sunday October 21st, she was in the bath & Jeff had left her for a moment to come help me with something. Upon his arrival he saw that she had pooped in the tub & then flung it out on the rug. Jeff asked her why she had pooped in there & she said, "It's okay, I flicked it out!"


On Monday the 22nd she asked if she could feed Milo. I told her that only Mommy can do that, but she can feed her doll. So she grabbed it, lifted her shirt & asked where her elbows were. I showed her where her ELBOWS were & then showed & told her where her nipples were. She then lifted her shirt again & while standing there held her doll in a headlock & pretended to let her nurse for all of 1/2 a second before dropping the doll & moving on to other things.
