ENT update

I have officially completed my last 7 weeks of work and it's summer. You wouldn't know though as today it is raining:( For the first time in awhile, today was back to me and Hannah. I have so missed spending my days with her. She is getting so big. She is wearing her 6 month clothes, and has been using a few new toys lately. We finally got to put her in her hot pink car. I also got her a doorway jumper which she has been enjoying. Last week Hannah went on a swing for the first time and got to experience her first two rides with her cousins (a little dinosaur train and the carousel.) Today Hannah had an appointment with her ENT. Things look the same, fluid has not increased and there is no infection so we are still holding off on the tubes. I really hope we can make it to her big surgery so she only has to go under once. Four more months to go with no ear infections, cross your fingers. He said the hearing loss is still around 30% so in his words "you just have to talk louder, you know be more in her face." So with that said, another big thank you to Zane and Weston who definitely followed Dr's. orders. I really do think that Hannah's speech improved being around the boys because she learned some new sounds. Now that I'm home, my goal is to work on getting Hannah to be able to sleep without having to be swaddled up. It's not that I mind wrapping her up, but they only make them up to 22 lbs. which she is fast approaching and I worry that summer might be too hot for her. TOday was my first attempt at nap time without it and I gave up after 30 minutes. As soon as she got in her snuggly as we call it, she fell fast asleep. Oh and one more thought, Hannah can almost sit by herself. She sits for about 30 seconds then falls to her side. A couple more weeks and I think she will be a sturdy sitter. This is said knowing that she still chooses not to roll over. The little stinker rolls on her side and then hangs out there. So I have decided she will be walking before she rolls over. That's just the way it is. Tim has about two weeks left of work. It will be nice when we can all three spend time together.
