Hair Dryer: It's More than Just a Styling Tool

Since the last post, Hannah's feedings have increased, but unfortunately the crying remains the same. She is clothed, warm, clean, fed, held, entertained, loved, stimulated, etc. You name it, Tim and I do it. We bend over backwards to entertain sweet little Hannah and sacrifice our needs to meet hers. Well what do you know, she prefers a hair dryer to her own parents. It's quite sad really, but if it works, go with it. Lately it seems the only time Hannah is content is when she is sitting next to a blow dryer. Tim has created very creative ways to attach the hair dryer to her bed, our couch, etc. It makes me sad that she prefers a piece of plastic to her own mommy's love, but it was a recommendation from one of the teachers Tim works with so I guess she is not the first baby to have this strange interest. Do other sounds work you ask? Nope, just the Revlon 1875. I think all new mom's should add one to their baby registry.

On a better note, Hannah is getting much better at night. This past week she has spent about 75% of the night in her bed and only about 25% of the time on my stomach. She really only wakes up to eat which is every three hours. She has also mastered lifting her head and making eye contact. The next big milestone we are looking forward to is seeing her smile. THe average is 4-6 weeks. Hannah is 5 weeks so I hope we see a real one soon (not just in response to gas, that doesn't count.)
