Good Shabbos

Today was a big day for Hana. We woke up and ate breakfast, and then got dressed and walked to shul. Hana walks 2 blocks in 5 minutes. So it took us 45 minutes to walk 15 blocks. We has to make a few stops to visit with dogs, look into store windows, eat, and various other important two-year-old activities. Hana was a very good girl at shul. She spent some time up with Mommy, and then decided that it was more fun to go see Daddy. And of course all the guys thought she was so cute, and the Rabbi Gave her a lollipop. Now we knew that this was going to happen, and we had decided in advance that we would not let her eat it, since she has never had candy, and we didn't really see any reason to start now, but of course when she got the lollipop she was far away from either of us, and our sweet friends helped her out when she said, "Hana eat it?" So as I watched from across the room, Hana had her first lollipop. Watermelon flavor. Yuck-o. I signaled to Daddy, and he brought her and the candy to me, and I took her down stairs and told her the candy was yucky and then threw it away. She assumed that I meant it was dirty or something, and so she replied, "get a new one, from Rabbi?" I mumbled some response and then distracted her with the fantastic corn chips that were set out for the kiddush. Hana loves chips. So then we had kiddush and Hana had a great time running around the social hall and eating cake and chips and drinking juice so she forgot all about the candy. Then we walked all the way home, and by this time she was totally exhausted, but she made it, and she ate some lunch, and as she ate she started squirming around and said, "Mommy, doo doo." So I took her into the bathroom, and she said, "Mommy, big toilet." So I put her up on the big toilet with her little seat adapter, and she proceeded to make her first giant doodie into the big toilet. Hurray! She has only once tinkled in her little pottie, (and twice next to it on the floor). She usually just sits there for a while and then says she is pau. So it was all very exciting that she went in the big toilet. Plus it was so much easier to clean up. Hurray! So I guess that made up for the lollipop. She got her reward in advance. And then we finished lunch and took a big nap all together on Mommy's bed. It was a good day.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Hana took a 3 hour nap today.
It was a great present.

Brave Hunter

Today Hana smashed her first ant. She has just started noticing bugs recently, and today was the day when she made the big step. I guess she saw me step on a big nasty any that was walking by, so when another one came over she stepped right on it and said "kill it". I'm not exactly sure where that part came from. We are all proud of her hunting prowess.

Today we went to the sand box for the fist time this spring. Hana had a great time with her shovel and pail. She didn't even mind that she got all messy. She also got to wear her sandals since it was 82 degrees today.

Today was Hana's first day at her new ART FARM IN THE CITY class. She liked to look at the ferret, but didn't want to touch it.

Sick-o

Well, Hana got Mommy's cold. First the cough, then sneezes and congestion. And since she is a baby and does not know how to blow her nose, all of the mucus builds up in her inner ear. And so on Monday night at 3am our little baby woke up screaming, "Ear! nigh nigh, ear, waaaaaaah!" and continued to scream until 6am when the sun came up, and then she yelled, "dinner. hungy. eat. oatmeal." As the morning went on it was clear that Hana was still very sick and unhappy, and she had a temperature in one ear but not the other. So we went to the doctor and Hana has her first ear infection, but only in the ear with the temperature. She has to take Amoxicillin twice a day for 10 days. And of course, she hates taking it. Not the medicine, she just hates the medicine spoon. So this morning Mommy had a great idea, and we mixed it into some vanilla yogurt. Hurray! Delicious medicine. No screaming or running away.

Happy Purim!

Some one thought she was too big for a crib, so Daddy fixed up the toddler rail and now the monkey can climb in and out of her bed all by herself.

18 Month check up

Ok, so Hana is a little over 18 months. Mommy forgot to make an appointment on time. So today we trudged through what was left of the massive 26.9 inches of snow and went to the Doctor. When we first got there Hana thought it was great fun. She always enjoys the waiting room with all the fun toys and little babies to look at. And even when we got into the examination room, she was fine, but once I undressed her and put her on the scale, the memories came flooding back. Cry cry cry. Poor little monkey. She spent most of the exam clamped onto mommy like a little monkey. We had to pry her off and hold her down to try to get her height, which is about 33 inches, and her weight is 26 pounds. I didn't even hear what her head circumference is because both times the nurse told me my little monkey was screaming in my ear. So I'll ask next time. Anyway, so we had two more shots, the last until she is 4 I think. She has to go back for a check up when she turns two, but no shots. Hana is in perfect health. The doctor was very impressed that she says over 75 words, feeds her self with a fork and spoon, eats well, takes two naps, listens to what I tell her, knows the parts of her body, and is always a good baby.
