Curious Hannah

So she's been rolling around the living room, exploring, and satisfying her curiosity. Today she rolled over to the box fan that we set up to circulate the air in the living/dining area (since there's no overhead fan or wiring capacity for it) and decided to stick her little tiny finger into the slots. It made this buzzing/rapid pth-pth-pth sound, and she was absolutely fascinated. I guess it didn't hurt her, just tickled her finger, and she liked it a lot. I heard the noise and wondered what it was. I didn't flip out, but just removed her from the area while she was laughing and smiling at me. I told Ize when he got home from work. Apparently she had discovered this "finger in the fan" phenomenon a few days earlier, but he had conveniently neglected to tell me about it.

She also likes "Daddy's chair". It's his favorite reading/sitting chair which I just slipcovered temporarily with a large piece of toile upholstery fabric. She will roll over to it and under it. Sometimes she sucks on the legs when I'm not paying attention (I try to keep her from doing that too much), other times she pulls out the threads of the unfinished fabric. I had wondered what all the cream and black threads on the carpet were. DH mentioned it, and we figured it out.

Hannah also loves the toilet paper roll in the bathroom. Whenever she's sitting on the potty, even if she really needs to poo or pee, she gets distracted by the toilet paper roll. She reaches over and rolls it around and around both ways. Since she doesn't have extremely fine motor control she just whacks at it with her hand and all fingers outstretched with this arm flap motion. She flaps her arm up and down when nursing and laying down on the ground too.

She's become much more vocal within the past month. She started vocalizing loud screeches and "ahh"s and "dah, dah, dah, dah, dah"s over and over. She rolls around and makes sounds. She'll vocalize when she needs to go poo, but it's been hard for me to distinguish from if it's a regular screeching for screeching sake, or if she's trying to communicate. So I've missed a couple of poos the past few days, and she's gone in the diaper.

Eventually I'll get around to adding photos to the posts, but for now, I'm just documenting because they're not uploaded from the camera yet.
