1 month left

Really, now we're talking about 2 weeks left before Hannah turns ONE!  It is so hard to believe, but it's true.  This sweet little girl is no longer an infant.

She is yet to be really walking.  She takes a few steps, and then she will plop down.  Her balance is amazing, and she can stand for really long periods.  She loves using her little push walker.  She steers and moves all over the house.  It is by far her most used toy right now.

Hannah is happiest when she is free to explore.  She is an expert at finding the tiniest of specs of dirt or crumbs on the floor.  They are so tiny they are barely visible to the human eye, but she finds them.  They will stick to her little pointer finger, and she hands them to me with such satisfaction.  She still isn't a fan of the car or being strapped in the car seat.  Sippy cups and snacks have allowed short 5-10 minute trips to have little or no crying which is a huge improvement.

As of a few weeks ago, we are completely on all formula.  We had to switch to soy based formula after discovering that Hannah developed secondary lactose deficiency after having diarrhea for two solid weeks.  This should go away with time, and we're hoping when she turns 1 that whole milk agrees with her.

We are trying all kinds of new foods this month.  Hannah loves to feed herself, and she's starting to get the hang of swallowing rather than storing the food in her cheeks like a chipmunk.  Her new favorite food is deli meat, but she has tried pickles too and liked them too.

In the midst of all the chaos between two moves and selling our house (we close the day after Hannah's birthday), I'm going to try and enjoy the last weeks of her first year.
