More Development Notes

I’m not sure if this is just a temporary thing. But of late, I’ve been watching Hannah, taking in her little habits and personality traits, and wondering if they are early signs of the kind of person she’s growing to be. It’s amazing to see our little girl picking up all sorts of things from adults and situations around her.

For instance:

– She’s social and cannot be alone, like her Mommy LOL. Hannah responds badly when one of us isn’t near her.

– She’s learned to associate books to parental company. Whenever she wants us to be with her, she’ll rummage through her box of toys and books, fish out only books, and bring them over for one of us to read to her.

– She’s also picked up the sense that there are two parents in the family. It’s a very cute thing that she does whenever we go out. She’ll extend out both her hands for us to hold her, and if one of us isn’t – even if it’s just temporary – she’ll squawk to get our attention that she wants to be held by the other parent.

– To Mommy’s continued chagrin, Hannah will readily call out ‘dah dee’ whenever she wants me, but she’s still a long way off to repeating the same for Ling.

– To Daddy’s continued chagrin, Hannah still readily prefers Ling’s company than mine.:(

But I do get another minor victory though: each evening before putting Hannah to bed, I’ve got her to not only ‘bump’ heads with me (see video here), she’ll follow up – absolutely lovely again – with her planting a kiss on my cheeks. Hooray! :)
