Catching up... & a walk to deliver treats

So all of these are my catchup posts. All to follow this one. I've been meaning to post since Tuesday morning...and then yesterday...but we've been super busy...and I just didn't get around to it.

This morning, we got up and she was vocalizing, holding on the railing... and basically telling me she wanted to go to the bathroom! She held her pee until I was able to get her diaper off and she immediately went on the toilet even without me signaling! Yesterday she did the same! I had just barely put her on the toilet in the morning and she let go of her pee immediately - she had been holding it in until then! YAY! I haven't been as good about taking her to potty during the day b/c we've been running around and doing so many things.

This morning was my 1st good nebulizer experience with her. Daddy tried a new approach last night and suggested it to me. We just let her play and we don't try to use the "fish attachment" on her face. We just follow her around as she's playing with the nebulizer and even let her play with it... much better way of her getting her breathing treatments! It just takes so dang long to get a treatment complete!

She's really alert and I can sense she's more aware of things developmentally. She loves books and flipping through them and being read to. She's been really great at navigating the house. She climbs down the stairs voluntarily really well to find me and to get to where she wants to. She knows what we're trying to communicate a lot of the time, and it seems that she's trying to communicate with us. I'm trying to work on the signing...but I think she's developing some of her own. She really enjoys music and vocalizes to singing sometimes.

Wednesday December 19th:
After taking our friends to the airport at noon on Wednesday, Hannah fell asleep. Her naps have been short and brief, and her bedtime has been a bit off kilter the past week.

Hannah & I went on a walk in the afternoon to deliver treats to some of our neighbors/friends in the community. She really enjoys walks. She calms down and just observes. It was windy too... I took some shots of her playing around with different settings.

Wow! Sounds like you're doing a great job with her. She's really growing fast! I'm especially amazed about the potty thing. :O I have NO IDEA where to start, but I definitely am too late to do it your way. Congrats on all her amazing accomplishments.
