Hannah Updates

First, our sitter informed us she’s had Hannah up on her hands/knees for about 10-20 seconds a few times now! Was happy to hear this... I just feel like she’s really struggling with her arm strength. We all keep at it and I just thought maybe she’d be mobile by now... I’m hoping for some type of mobility at 18 months... we’ll see.

The bigger news is that Hannah just started drinking out of straw cups on her own! Woo hoo! I feel like this is a big step for her. Her eating is progressing, but just a bit... roasted potatoes are great - mushy with some thick texture and she actually swallows it. Fruit tends to not work - it just pops back out with her tongue.

Mmm Baby Mum-Mums! (She looks so old in this photo!)

One of the three speech therapists we’ve seen said she expects changes by 15 months - that’s the age when development starts to ramp up. Sigh. I hope there’s some truth to that.

Finally, we picked up the glasses this week! They have a band on the back to keep them on. Getting them on is a bit hard and Hannah gets mad - ! She does okay keeping them on for the two days we’ve used them. We think she can actually see better - she seems to be looking around more and intently. It’s interesting. We just hope it can help her left eye straighten out a bit!
