Hannah is a great baby...now. (I try to forget the first 6-8 months of her life...its deleted from my memory). She is sweet and pretty easy going most of the time, but when she has her moments...wow.
I took the kids to an event at the library on Saturday, it was 'Winter Olympics'. I love going to the library's events, they do such a great job & Hailey always has lots of fun seeing her friends. Hannah was not so excited. She couldnt run around wild, because they had organized games & events going on that she would get in the way of, and when I DID find a place to let her roam, she would go straight to something she couldnt have (didnt matter that she was surrounded by tons she could play with). SO, I carried her around...for over an hour. My arm is so sore today. She is not light...and I am not very big or strong. She enjoyed being carried about as much as I enjoyed doing it. When the room got quiet, and the ladies in charge were trying to explain rules or something to the kids, Hannah would start yelling crazy jibberish & trying to shove herself out of my arm. (You wouldnt know how loud she is just by looking at her, but that kid has a voice like I have never seen) Everyone would look over at me & stare...like they have never seen a baby cry before. It was so frustrating & upsetting. Its not the first time its happened, either. She is also the kid who flings herself backwards & that is THE worst thing ever. I hate it...it makes me want to pull my hair out.
And...she will NOT hold my hand, under any circumstance. We were walking through the park today, and I thought I would try to let her walk & hold her hand, but she wiggles it away from me and screams if I try to hold onto it. She doesnt need to sit in a stroller all the time, and I cant possibly pack her around all the time. Yea, Hannah is going to be a 'harness' kid...I can already see it. She is SO different from Hailey when she was a baby, its like Im a first time mom all over again with her, it really is.
Once we left the library the other day, me nearly in tears & Hailey aggravated that we cant stay & play because of Hannah's temper, I couldnt wait to just get back home. I pulled in, got out of the car, opened Hannahs door, and all I see was a big smile behind her pacifier, and I almost burst into tears. Its all it takes to make me forget what hell she had just put me through. All I could do was smile back & say 'I love you, kid'.
The way they have me wrapped around their fingers is just asburd.

Blaine wouldn't hold my hand. He would pull away and if I wouldn't let go he'd fling himself in the floor. So I started holding it & running around the living room with him and saying "YAY!" like a dork, lol. He has no problem doing holding my hand & walking now. It's actually cute.
