Let's see. Where do I start? Hannah is an amazingly happy baby. She smiles to show her four little teeth off all the time. She never meets a stranger although she has started tilting her head and tucking her chin like she is shy but trust me, it is all an act. She will let anyone hold her and will give them "kisses" with enough coaxing. Her kisses are not really kisses but instead they are full on open mouth slobering on your cheek as she says "ahhhhhh". To mommy they are the sweetest things ever though. :) She loves books. I think mainly because she has this facination with things that go "open and shut". I think she open and shut my Bible in church Sunday night 50+ times and I had to laugh as did my "neighbor" on my pew. That brings me to her sizures. Not only did she open and shut my Bible but she also had myoclonic seizures throughout the entire sermon. I was on pins and needles because they can lead to tonic-clonic seizures where she becomes unresponsive. She has been having the myoclonics everyday now for the last week and a half and somedays are worse than others. She has an epileptologist appt on April 18th so maybe we can adjust her meds and that will help. No only does she have that appt but she also has a GI appt that same day. This is VERY important because we just found out yesterday that she is growing in length but she is actually LOSING weight. We are not sure why she isn't gaining and now she is 3% and less on weight and height to weight ratio. Other than those two issues she is doing really well on her development compared to what she was. She is now crawling on her hands and knees, pulling up to a standing postion, and in the last day or two she is actually learning to let herself down somewhat gently from a standing to a sitting position. She doesn't always make it gracefuly but she tries. Hey she IS my child so she doesn't come by much gracefulness honestly. :) She is into everything as usual. Sometimes it makes it hard to keep things tidy around the house especially when you have to keep your eye on her all the time and then some just to make sure she doesn't have a seizure or hurt herself getting into "no, no" stuff. "No, no" makes her world come crashing down. She will scrunch up her nose, pucker her bottom lip, hang her head, and let out the most pitiful cries you have ever heard. It breaks mommy's heart too. Daddy says I spoil her but how can you not spoil a baby as sweet as this?
