My poor little lady.... :( I think she is cutting her top front 4 teeth all at one time. One has already popped through--not the center left one, but the second one over. She has been so inconsolable the last few days, but now I definitely understand why. Ouchie. Along with that one popping through, I could see the slight whiteness under her gums for the other 3 teeth. There is defintiely a reason why babies don't remember being babies. Pray that this is over soon!

A few videos
For your viewing pleasure, here are a few videos I'd like to share. The first was taken yesterday--it's of Hannah and her "boyfriend", David. David spent some time at our house so his momma could have a little birthday time to herself. :) Can you believe these two are only 2 weeks apart??? Also, notice that David is sucking on Hannah's pacifier and doing the body roll...
The second video is just a video of Hannah playing with daddy. He really gets her going this time! Enjoy!

The Update of all Updates
Wooooooo!!! Well, it's been a while, and lots of things have happened! I also have a few videos to post, so stay tuned for those. :)
First thing is that Hannah has learned to chew. She is now eating solid food 3 times a day and nursing 4 - 5 times a day, with lots of juice and water in between. She's a pro at using her sippy cup. She'll only use the Nuby kind that has the soft spout. In order to get the liquid to come out, she has to actually bite the spout and then suck. The regular sippy cups (with valves) require a little too much sucking power. I suppose I could take the valve out, but then if we tipped the cup over, stuff would come out. And we don't want that!
Hannah also knows how to wave, though she doesn't do it very often. The following video is of her playing with a toy, and then getting excited when she sees that I have the camera on her (I'm guessing she likes the spotlight??). She kinda waves here, but it's more of both arms going crazy because she's so excited.

Hannah is not exactly interested in crawling. I think she'll get there slowly, but surely. She now will get up on her hands and knees and rock back and forth, but she still gets upset whenever we put her on the floor on her tummy. A few times we've hung out with families with babies that are crawling, and she watches very closely and intently. Sometimes she musters up the courage to try, but again, she gets frustrated and upset rather quickly, so we'll just keep trying.
The next video is one of us on our front porch this past weekend. She's learned to "cluck" her tongue, which you'll see. You'll also see a little bit of evidence that she is now interested in EVERYTHING. I'm actually glad that she's not crawling yet, because I wouldn't be able to keep her out of anything. She is already one stubborn little girl (and already has a bit of a 'tude sometimes... wonder who she got that from?). :)

I'm trying to think of anything else to share... Daniel is in the final countdown of school, yay! His last day is June 5th--can't wait for that! I'm looking forward to him being able to spend lots of time with us this summer, as well as doing a bit of babysitting so I can get some hours in at the office. That'll be SO nice.
And, while we're on that subject, we've been thinking about putting Hannah in daycare for 2 mornings a week once the school year picks back up again. That way, I'd be able to get some work done at the office a few mornings a week and really be able to streamline things a bit more. I'm thinking that that would really help get Hannah on a more normal schedule and make things a little more predictable for her, which would be a good thing. Right now, every day is completely different, and I think that takes a toll on her.
What we have started doing is a friend of mine, Lina, has a son (David, who we consider Hannah's "boyfriend") that is 2 weeks older than Hannah, and she's started watching Hannah and David on Tuesday mornings so that I can go to my staff meeting hands-free. It was SOOOOO nice last week, and Hannah and David seemed to have a great time! They play so well together and love the company, so it makes sense that they would be well-behaved. :) If only we could get the kids to behave that well when they're without the company!
In new house news, it looks like our house is still on schedule to be built and finished by early August, so that's super exciting! I hope that we get to move in before the weekend of August 15th because we're planning to head to Va Beach to hang out with our families (including Keagan and Laura, YAY!). Also, Daniel starts school the following week, so I'd like to have everything out of the way before then. We will definitely keep you all posted.
And finally, I'll close this out with a video that I think will make you all laugh. Hopefully you've made it this far, because I think this video is the funniest of them all. Enjoy!
