Updates on Baby Hannah

This post is slightly overdue because of slight changes to our lifestyle (Daddy's started teaching his night class and Mummy's new job) and coping with a more demanding Hannah! Haha..

Baby Hannah is now growing bigger, stronger and louder! At her last doctor's appointment, the doctor told us that she is actually one kg overweight for her age, but apart from that, she is a normal healthy baby. She is also able to sit up with some support and since she has learnt that sitting up provides her a better view of life, she doesn't like to lie down much anymore, not even in her stroller. She prefers to sit up and watch the world go by. However, we try not to let her sit up for long periods of time because her backbone is not yet strong enough. All in good time, Hannah!

She also enjoys the little treats we give her now and then, but not very often! The other day her Daddy let her try a little Baskin Robbins. She absolutely loved it but 2 licks was all she got. She has to wait till she is a bigger to have more :) She also also tried her Ah Mah's yummy soup (2 teaspoons) and "see koh th'ng" which again she really liked. Looks like Baby Hannah's got a sweet tooth! Later Gong Gong will have to check her teeth. Haha..

Nowadays she also knows what she wants and demands loudly for it, whether for milk, if she wants to sleep, or she wants to be carried. We can distinguish her different cries now and recently she can even say "nen nen" (it sounds a lot like it!) when she wants milk. She is able to occasionally sleep through the night but sometimes she still wakes up for one feed in the middle of the night and then go back to sleep. We find that manageable and generally, she is a good little baby.

Strangely enough, this weekend we did not take that many photos, so here are some that her Daddy took on Saturday. Her expressions nowadays change in split seconds and she can almost laugh and cry in the same breath, so sometimes it can be quite amusing. We managed to capture some of her different looks, all within minutes.

This is her inquisitive look:

This is her bored look:

This is a candid shot. Wonder what she is thinking of?

Oh yes, and we finally managed to take a photo of Hannah with all her cousins on her Daddy's side of the family. Her eyes were closed, however. But at least this time nobody was missing!
