crawling down stairs & catch up post

So Sunday afternoon Hannah crawled up the stairs and then down the stairs all of her own accord. It was her 1st to crawl all the way down the stairs un-coerced. She just went up and came down. Daddy was the one to supervise as he was the one that noticed her heading up, and he watched as she came down. (I have no idea what I was doing at the time, but I missed it). Daddy's been basically heading up the "stair training."

We've not posted much... Daddy was out of town Wednesday through Friday, and so mommy was on "Hannah duty" 24 hours every day & night, and it didn't leave much room for much else. Hannah was sick and needed lots of special attention. Mommy tried to get Hannah to sleep and rest as much as possible. It was difficult to use the nebulizer on her while she was awake, so we tried doing breathing treatments while she was asleep.

Friday Hannah threw up during breakfast because she gagged on a bit of banana that mommy gave to her. (Hannah's been wanting to self-feed more and more, and so mommy cut up banana into small pea-size-pieces for her.) She had stuffed too much into her mouth. And then she threw up some of her breakfast and a whole bunch of mucus. It think it was good for her to get out the mucus. But it was a mess to clean up.

Hannah seems to be doing a lot better though. She hasn't gotten regular breathing treatments because she seems to breathe okay, not too much wheezing or coughing - I just hope that her lungs are clearing up on their own. She doesn't take her liquid meds well with a syringe though...so I've been putting a bit on a spoon and then feeding it to her in small amounts. It works, but it's time consuming process...and sometimes really painful process for everyone because the stuff isn't her favorite and she fidgets and doesn't want to swallow.

We were both really happy when Daddy returned late Friday night. We really missed him while he was gone. He's so helpful with everything!

Hannah has been eating a lot more this weekend (Sat & Sun) when Daddy fed her. She ate the most solid food ever in one sitting Sunday night. about 5 oz. Yay!

We've made lots of new friends recently (talking to people as of the past week when we started putting our feelers our again for a home). Hannah got to play with them Friday night...and mommy got to eat some really yummy homemade Thai food.

On the side, mommy has been doing lots of house hunting research, spending time doing comps, research on the area homes, values, appraisals & appreciation. She's learned lots of new stuff including soil survey info, foundation info, renovation info, etc.

...So I dunno why I'm referring to myself as "mommy" and keep on switching back and forth...

I've sort of been obsessing about the housing market research I've been doing. It's what my brain thinks about when it's "idling" - you know the "what do you think about when you're not thinking about anything" - what are your "default" thought processes.

This is becoming more of me musing than posting about Hannah...so it should probably go on my musings page...oh well...

I really don't know why I'm still up. I can't sleep. I'm obsessing... doing more research still...
and letting Hannah and DH sleep.
