Eight Weeks

Wow! The last few weeks have been really busy. Hannah had the sonogram done of her hips. Her right hip is normal and the left hip shows mild dysplasia when rotated inward. Our doctor seems to think it will most likely tighten on it's own. However, we would like to see a specialist just to make sure she doesn't need a brace. I called and got that appointment scheduled for Thursday morning.

She had her 8 week check up this morning and got 3 of the 4 shots. There is a shortage of one and so we have to go to the health department to get it. I decided 3 shots were enough for one day and we'd get the other one tomorrow. =(

Hannah is now 9 lbs 13 oz (25th percentile) and 23 1/4 inches long (75th percentile). I think she's going to be tall like her daddy. =) She is starting to sleep longer and will often go 5 or 6 hours between feedings at night. I got the official OK from the doctor today to stop waking her up at night to feed. Yeah! We'll see if she'll sleep longer than 6 hours. She has been tracking objects for a few weeks now and is also cooing. Nathan and I enjoy "talking" with her. I think she's going to smile any day now because I've caught many attempts.

A few weeks ago my mom and I had a friend from church come and take some sleepy photos of Hannah before she got too big. Sandra (http://www.sandraedwards.net/) did a great job. Here's some of our favorites:



Hope you enjoyed the photos. I'll post another update in a few days about our appointment with the specialist and more photos.
