Hannah's first cold

I think poor little punkins has her first cold. She's got a nose full of snot that I can hear and see, she had a little fever earlier this week, and a little cough that is the real cough - not the look what I can do cough. Poor thing, but then I discovered yesterday afternoon she'd given it to me. I think this is the first time I've been sick in about a year! I don't think I was ever actually sick sick while I was pg and I know I haven't been since. So I am certainly due. But as much as I'd like to go curl up in bed and stay there, I can't! That's a new one for me, LOL! This little baby could care less that I don't feel well.

This last weekend we went to mom's house for Easter weekend, so it was Hannah's first big long road trip. She was such a little trooper and did great. We got about to Rockford before she decided she'd had enough and started to snuffle and cry and before long she'd lost it entirely, her shit, that is. As long as I sat in the back with her so she could see me and let her squeeze my hands, she seemed to do better. But I felt so bad for her having to be confined and not understand why.

Once we got to mom's though everything was good. She was tired and cranky and needed to eat and go to bed but the next morning she was ready to go! I took her to go meet a bunch of old high school friends of mine for lunch and she got passed around to pretty much everyone. I think all but one of them are moms so they are totally familiar and comfortable with babies and I had no qualms about handing her over. She seemed to enjoy herself too, as long as she was being held and coo'd to. She was so comfortable in Jana's arms that she fell asleep! 

On Easter she got to meet a whole slew of relatives. She was being a little picky that day though and did good with some, but not so good with others. I'm not sure what her criteria is but she was partial to my nephew's new wife and my sister's husband but that's about it. The whole weekend I was sure she was going to roll over for the first time. She kept getting to her side and rocking a little but not quite all the way over. I think the cold she came home with has hampered her trying a little, but I think this big milestone is just around the corner. Everybody says 3 months is the norm for rolling over but then all babies progress on their own time frame, so we'll just have to wait and see. She is doing really well at sitting up though, we practice that a lot. She sits for a pretty long time before sliding down or tipping over...just like mommy :)
