HJ 2 Months

 Hannah Jane is now two months old and is stealing our hearts away with even more force!

Houston gets SO excited when Hannah does something new.  "Hannah waved at me Mom!"    (She was cooing at us) "Hannah knows how to talk now!"  

 She is still a super sleeper and just kinda shuts her eyes when she's ready for a nap. And that girl can sleep through a lot.

 I'm pretty sure she has these boys wrapped around her tiny little finger already.

 We have always noticed Hannah has a funny shaped head.  Looking down at  it from the top (ill have to take a picture some point) her head isn't round, it's shaped more like a letter A, but lop sided.  When I took her in for her 2 month check up, as soon as Dr King walked in He noticed it right away and started asking questions about it.  He asked if she seems to favor laying on one side of her head more than the other, which she does.  She always turns her head to the left.When we turn it the other way she fusses about it.

He pointed out that one ear is a lot farther forward than the other, which we had never noticed, but once he pointed it out was super apparent. (you can kinda see it in this picture)
He thinks she has occipital plagiocephal. Which is basically a fancy way of saying her head is shaped funny. It can be caused by a few different factors; her position in the womb, shorter neck muscles on one side, or premature fusion of her skull bones.He thinks in her case it's probably the short neck muscle since she always favors turning her head to the left. 

 Our homework is to try to turn her head after she falls asleep (which is so hard, we turn it, and she goes right back to the left. We're keeping on it though) and do tummy time as much as possible. They want to keep a close eyes on her head measurements so they can rule out the premature fusion of her skull bones, so we will be checking in at the Dr quite frequently for those visits.  In the next few months he said they will probably put her in a helmet, a soft molded helmet designed to put pressure on the areas that need to flatten and give space to the areas that need to round out. He said if hers is a case caused by neck muscles they will probably have her do some exercises to strengthen and stretch those muscles in connection with the helmet so that the head plates can move to their correct locations before fusing, allowing her brain to have the correct needed space.  It will also straiten out her ears which really isn't the biggest deal, but it will make glasses wearing easier later in life. 

 Hannah was -

23 3/4" long (80th%)

11#13oz   (55th%)

her head was 14 3/4" around (20th%)

So she continues to be long and skinny with a tiny head.


We also weighed the boys:
Heath is 43#
Houston 37#

 She usually wakes up at 10am still.  Eats, is awake for about 1/2 an hour then sleeps till about 1pm, then eats, plays for about 1/2 an hour, then sleeps till about 3pm, eats, plays, sleeps till about 5pm, eats, plays, sleeps till about 7pm, eats, then from 7-8pm sometimes 9pm is her happy time.  She is usually awake and happy for a good long time then. After that she is ready for bed and sleeps till about 7am, eats and goes right back to sleep till 10ish.   It's pretty super. I was asking Matt the other day if he remembers when the boys started to not sleep like ALL day long.  We both couldn't remember, but that is what mode Hannah is still in right now.

Hannah is one blessed little girl to have such loving, wonderful big brothers. Someday she will realize it. For now she can just make cute faces like this though.

She was watching Heath run about the living room so intently, we couldn't get her to take her eyes off of him.
