Last week was a big week for her developmentally as well. She is now thisclose to sitting up independently. She actually does sit up but likes to throw herself back so I don't leave her side just yet. She also started rolling from her belly to her back consistently and by choice, which is HUGE for this mama because it means I don't have to worry so much about her getting stuck sleeping on her face! Speaking of sleep, last week she also started turning her head when she sleeps! Win!! All of a sudden for one of her naps on Tuesday I looked at the monitor and she was like this:
I literally did a happy dance. Just that little turn of the head was wonderful! I asked Dr. Silberman about this at her checkup and he said that since the risk of SIDS significantly drops at 6 months that I don't need to worry about turning her over- she will move when she needs to. He did say that before I go to bed it's always wise to be sure she has airflow around her mouth/nose (obviously) but that since most likely she will just turn herself right back over onto her belly, flipping her onto her back is somewhat futile! He is correct, as I have done that many many times! Since talking with him I have put her back in her crib full time at night (instead of the swing). She's doing great, and her naps are getting longer now that she is sleeping/rolling/turning her head well. Our little Hannah, growing up (sniff, sniff).
Hannah is also very close to getting her first tooth. I feel the bumps on her bottom center gums, and she has been a touch grumpy the last week or so. I expect them any day now!
She giggles at the funniest stuff- last week when Abby was here I was holding her on my hip and following Asher up the stairs (he was crawling up them). She looked at Asher and just started giggling. I don't know what was funny about it, but she got a kick out of watching him! The other day I was doing laundry as she was playing on the floor. I started waving the towels over her face, close to her but not touching her, which created a breeze. Man did she giggle. It was a really hard laugh, and it's a cross between a giggle and a growl, she laughs so hard! Check it out.
The last "new" thing with her (that I can think of) is that Hannah now grabs at EVERYTHING! Plastic bags, blankets, Asher's toys, coffee, food, water bottles- everything!
It's such a blessing to watch her grow and change. Time has flown, and I am so happy to be her mommy.
