Update on Hannah Banana

Hannah Banana or The Banana as we call her had her one month doctor's appointment on Oct. 1.  She did very well!  She weighed 10lbs and 8 3/4 oz which puts her in the 75 percentile.  She was 22 inches long and her head is on the smaller side - just like Emma.  She is very healthy although she did get a funky rash on her face, neck and stomach. She passed this rash onto me but we both are better now. She got a shot and did really well - she cried for a second but then was OK.  Hopefully she will be a champ like her sis. 

Hannah is a lot more alert now and awake for longer periods of time.  Her neck is getting really strong and I am amazed at how high she can get it when she's on tummy time.  She started to smile last Thursday, the day before she turned 6 weeks old.  She has the best smile and it melts my heart when she does her great big smile for me!  She already knows how to get me because after I feed her in the middle of the night and I am wrapping her back up in her blankets - if she wakes up she will smile big for me to get me to play with her.  Last night I fell for her smile because it was just so cute but I didn't play with her.

She is sleeping pretty well at night.  She is going to sleep between 8 and 9 and then waking up around 3 or so.  She then will go back to sleep till 6:30/7.  I can't complain about that.  It is pretty good considering she is 6 and a half weeks old.
