Happy New Year to all our friends and family. We just got back from Hannah's 9 month doctor's appointment and she is doing great... aced the 9 month questionnaire! She weighs 20 pounds, 11 ounces (84th percentile) and is 28 inches long.
This past month, Hannah has been changing so much and doing new things on a daily basis. She is crawling everywhere very quickly and loves following Emma and the dogs around. Our big girl is pulling herself up on to furniture, mommy and daddy's legs, and anything she can get a hold of! She is also walking along the furniture and even lets go with one hand. She is babbling more and more, and says two syllable words like ma-ma, da-da, ba-ba, ga-ga.
Hannah loves to play Pat-a-Cake, and do Itsy Bitsy Spider. It's so cute to see her clap along and her face just lights up. She also loves playing peek-a-boo and hide and seek with Emma. They are playing together much more these days and Hannah is loving it...she feels like such a big girl! Just like her big sister, Hannah loves reading books and will sit and turn pages on her own. Her favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
She has four teeth (2 top and 2 bottom), and is eating some real food now. She loves mac and cheese, peas, Cheerios and blueberries. Teething biscuits are another favorite since she is teething lots lately.
We are still working on sleeping through the night.... we got spoiled with Emma sleeping through the night at 4-5 months, so this is all new to us. The doctor recommended giving her water when she wakes up at night, so we'll see how mad that makes her tonight and report back next month!
That's all for now.... Hugs from all of the Johns!
