Hanging with Cooper

We took our first little road trip with Miss Hannah today that involved a car seat and icy cold weather. She was bundled up in winter snow pants, a jacket with a hood, and had her fleece banklet from Jeri G. all tucked in around her. We learned that Hannah fusses while she is being strapped into the car seat, but falls asleep within minutes. I have a feeling that there will be several "It's night night time" car rides in the future to get her to go to sleep. Anyway, we visited Mama's work, went out for lunch where Hannah played the chopstick wrapper for 20 minutes while sitting nicely in the high chair, and made the journey to the "big city" in search of Babies R Us for more Born Free bottles.

On the way, I decided that we should call our friend Amy to see if she was up for a little visit. Of course, Amy was thrilled to have us over, and we had a lot of fun giggling at the differences between the bodies of her BIG "chunk of love" born in August and our little petite preemie born in January.

When we changed diapers, someone joked, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." Daddy said sternly, "Hannah, don't look over there." She's not allowed to date until she's 30.

Hannah test drove Cooper's exersauser and had a great time... such a great time that we came home with an exersauser as well as more bottles from Babies R Us. Fun times!

Developmentally, Hannah pulls to a stand very well and is quite steady when holding on to something. She doesn't sit particularly well, as she tips over quite often. She crawls, but doesn't seem to want to work so hard at it. I have a feeling this is due to spending a lot of time in her crib, and I'm confident this will greatly improve as we have her on the floor playing and encouraging her more and more.

Last night was a great night for sleep. This is the first time that she only woke up once for a bottle. Sleep is grand! Now, if we could just get her to poop again without the need for a glycerine suppository. The prunes aren't cutting it, and she doesn't like baby pear juice. Sounds like Miralax is in her future.
