Deciding on a post title is hard...

...when you haven't posted in a while. It seems as though I have more trouble giving occasional updates than short everyday blurbs.

So here is what Hannah is doing. She is being 7 months old today! Unfortunately we didn't have quite as much milk as usual and her schedule was thrown off, so she was on the fussy side for her 7 monthiversary. She never fusses when I hold her though, so I guess things could be worse.

I'm getting frustrated with reading to her since the only thing she wants to do is chew on the book, which I guess makes sense, but we're trying to teach her not to do that. Maybe the key is to read her bigger books (in terms of page size), so that she has more trouble getting them up to her mouth. I'm afraid that if I keep pulling the book away from her then she will associate books with suckitude. No, baby Hannah! Books have rockitude if anything.

Hannah is also working on standing up better by herself, but no crawling yet. She was scootching her butt up for a while and so far hasn't gotten past that. I really need to give her more tummy time, except she has never enjoyed that. Not one bit. Time to make her suffer through it, because life is hard. Never too early to pressure your kids into catching up with their peers!

I am starting to think that she is getting the concept of rhythm, which is really pretty cool. Not very many animals can do that. If you think about it, rhythm requires recognizing a pattern that has occurred, is occurring, and that you believe will continue to occur unchanged. She can predict the future! Which is totally why we had a kid to start with.

Heidi is starting to talk about cutting Hannah's hair. I am firmly against this. It is so cute! And so are her little ponytails!

Hannah and I have been doing this cute little thing where we put our heads together and touch noses. She likes it so much that she has been doing it with other things too. Things that are not gentle like dad. I suppose she has to figure out that she can't smash her face into everything at some point. Again, life is hard! And so is the exersaucer!
