Hannah 開始喜歡玩飛高高了（出生的時候不覺得她特別愛玩這個，現在明顯開始喜歡玩“溫柔版”的飛高高了）。小胖妞自己要出力的健身不愛玩，別人要出力的玩意兒就特別愛玩。。。真是精明啊。
Hannah enjoys activities that demand efforts from parties other than herself (thus, no to tummy time and yes to Grandma facilitated flights). She's indeed our daughter :P

健身時間大罷工 Tummy Time on Strike
你們大人以爲我這麽好騙啊。上次“游”了半天，寸步難行，再一次（第三次）健身時間，我就不幹了。（鏡頭前的長頸鹿先生等我表演，已經等到發呆了）。
Hannah shall not be manipulated - she refused to perform on her 3rd tummy time - she may be young but she has learned that swimming generally doesn't get her anywhere on land. (Mr. Giraffe in front of camera is dumb founded watching an infant going on strike).

健身時間 Tummy Time
第一個孩子照書養，Hannah 現在每天都有健身時間，其實主要就是趴在地上，理論上來説，小孩會擡頭，用手撐地，加強頸部和手的肌肉。可能是才開始（這是第二次），咱們小胖妞好像拿不太到竅門，表演的活像是在旱地溺水。
Perhaps due to lack of practice (this is her second time), Hannah's tummy time basically looks like she's drowning on land.

補 - Alan小哥哥 & Emily小姐姐 到香港找 Hannah (Cousins Alan & Emily visit Hannah in Hong Kong)
補記一下Alan 和 Emily 來找 Hannah 的 影片。Hannah 那時候2周大。 可以感覺小哥哥小姐姐覺得Hannah 好新鮮哦。小朋友真是可愛。
This video is from April when Hannah was just 2 weeks old. Cousins Alan and Emily came to visit and were thrilled with the novelty of a new baby. Kids are so cute!

千金小姐 Diaper Attack
養了小孩才知道要換的尿布這麽多。Hannah 天天快樂、天真、大方、無辜的送媽媽黃金千兩 - 真是生了個千金小姐啊。
以下的照片是小妞幾天前非常爆炸性的噴出萬兩黃金，光聼聲音就知道這是“要立刻洗澡”級的“佈施”。
媽媽和璇璇阿姨一陣慌亂，要抱她起來去浴室，又怕黃金太滿會掉出來，只好連著尿布墊將她提起來，狼狽萬分。
媽媽百忙之中還記得拍照留罪證 - 只是這個小混球一臉“我做了什麽嗎？”的無辜 - 可見文明還是需要教化的。
Hannah blew through her diaper with so much poop that just by the sound of the business, we knew it would require a bath to clean up.
Here she is - looking all innocent when we picked her up along with her changing pad on our way to the bathroom.

餓拳 Hungry Kongfu
Hannah半夜餓醒之前，都會先閉著眼睛，用力的打拳，吆喝，好像要把餓蟲打走，好繼續睡覺一樣。
她開始打拳，媽媽和新店阿媽就要立刻準備擠奶，溫奶，餵奶，換尿布了。因爲如果她拳打完，還沒有奶給她喝，小胖妞就要放聲大哭了。
以下影片紀念一下Hannah的半夜“餓拳”（醉了打拳叫醉拳，餓了打拳就叫餓拳吧）。媽媽是被他吵醒準備好奶才開始錄，所以只拍到尾聲 - 那時她已經快哭了。
Before Hannah gets up in the middle of the night due to hunger, she usually performs some Kungfu moves with eyes closed first. It is as if she could literally fight off hunger.
We've learned to leap into action and get her milk prepared as soon as she starts her Kungfu session - as the session would be followed by all-out-wail if milk does not intercede before its end.
Below is a video of Hannah's Kungfu session. As you can see - the session is near its end and Hannah is about to explode into tears - Mom missed the beginning as she had to get milk preped before she started videotaping.
No one dares to risk Hannah's Kungfu session ending without milk.

學唱歌 Learning to Sing
Hannah 出生一個多禮拜，新店阿媽就發現她特喜歡聼人説話，聼不懂但是超認真。
三個禮拜大的時候，媽媽發現她愛聼人唱歌，有一次抱著她唱歌，一停下來，她就啊啊叫，只好一首接一首的唱下去。
接著所有的人都發現她愛聽人說話、愛聽歌，全家掀起了一陣大家開唱，大家練自言自語的風潮。
新店阿公爲了將她定住，讓阿媽可以煮飯，引吭高歌了一個小時。
新店阿媽自己編了一大堆有的沒的小調，外加平劇和百老匯歌曲，連媽媽都沒聼過阿媽唱這些歌。
璇璇阿姨還上網復習兒歌大全，曾經為Ｈａｎｎａｈ小姐賣力演出一個早上。
説話方面，應該屬稚穎阿姨最所向無敵，因爲這個寶貝阿姨從小就天天跟他的熊娃娃們練習“單向聊天術”－完全不需要對話，就可以跟她的熊娃娃和Ｈａｎｎａｈ天南地北煞有介事的聊半天！實在太厲害了。媽媽要看齊！
Hannah太幸運了，所有的人都卯起來變花樣跟她玩，只是五花八門的對話和歌曲，常常聼的她耳花繚亂 - 用崇拜又有點不解的表情，張大嘴巴傻傻的看我們在那裏舌燦蓮花。
她這麽小，舌頭相對口腔根本太大，再羡慕也無法模仿我們的言語和歌曲啊。
Hannah五個禮拜大的時候，新店阿媽靈機一動，索性抱起她用啊啊啊唱音階- 因爲啊不用動舌頭。
結果Hannah還真的認真地聼阿媽的“新歌”，欣喜的發現“這個我也可以”，像模像樣的模仿起來呢。真是把大家都樂壞了。
現在和Hannah練“啊啊歌”就變成阿媽最愛玩的遊戲之一了。
We discovered early on that Hannah loves listening to conversations and songs. Once, she even protested vigorously in my arms each time I paused singing!
Miss. Yeung's preference has sent everyone in the family scrambling to perfect their monologue skills and learn songs we otherwise have no interest in.
Auntie Xuanxuan went online to learn a whole collection of nursery rhymes and gave Hannah an entire morning of free performance.
Auntie Ruby busted out her incredible monologue skills (mainly perfected by years of talking to her stuffed animals daily). She can talk about everything under the sun with Hannah and was pleased that Hannah is more responsive to her than her toy bears are.
Everyone came with their own bag of tricks to entertain Hannah. Hannah is mesmerized and looks at us in awe when we talk and sing.
Frankly, at her age, her tongue is too big relative to her jaw for her to pronounce the vast majority of the sounds that came out of our mouths.
When Hannah turned 5 weeks old, Grandma had the brilliant idea of singing "Ah" up the scale to Hannah - since pronouncing "Ah" does not require tongue movement.
Lo and behold, Hannah listened intently and started to make efforts to sing along. We all got a big kick out of it.
Singing is now one of Grandma's favorite games to play with Hannah.

救苦救難觀世音菩薩 - Life Saving Play Mat
Hannah長得好快啊，不止身高體重直綫上升，而且簡直天天都可以在她身上看到新的花頭。可是越長大，需求也變越多越挑，常常整的我們四五個人都對付不了她一個。
記得剛從醫院回家的幾天，只要把她喂飽，換好尿布，她就一聲不吭的睡覺。
沒兩個禮拜，小姑娘除了喝奶換尿片，就還要人家陪玩、陪説話、帶她到處逛。而且對抱的姿勢，看的地方/東西，都很有意見，而且只要她醒著，就要有人陪。真是我的天啊！
就在一群大人求救無門的時候，我們驚喜的發現Hannah可以自己在媽媽買的遊戲毯（外加韻如乾媽給的鏡子玩具）裏頭，雙手雙腳踢毯子上面吊的動物，頭一下看左右兩邊鏡子裏自己和動物的身影，一下看上面的動物搖動，就這樣一次自己耗上20-60分鐘。
真是人類偉大的發明。我們戲稱這個玩具為“救苦救難觀世音菩薩”-- 哈哈哈，可見大家這幾天伺候小傢伙伺候的多狼狽。我們真是太沒用了，慚愧啊。
As Hannah grew, her need for us to constantly entertain her grew with her. Everyone became sort of overwhelmed after a while.
You can imagine the delight when we found that Hannah can entertain herself for 20-40 minutes at a time on her play mat - kicking/grabbing/looking at the toys above her and looking at herself and the toys in the mirrors on two sides.
We jokingly call the play mat "The Savior".

好奇寶寶 - I want to see!!
Hannah 是個好奇寶寶（見天才爸爸事件2）。從兩個禮拜開始，基本上只要是新的環境、新的人，她都會兩眼睜的大大的研究，非常認真的樣子。新店阿媽常常驚嘆：“你還真的看得懂啊？那麽認真。”
大小姐哭閙，我們實在搞不定，怎麽抱、怎麽哄都不對時，十次有九次半，只要把她帶到一個她不熟悉的房間，或是去不常去的頂樓和樓下大門口晃一下，她就立刻不哭啦。
隨便你怎麽抱，隨便你哄不哄，小姐現在沒空，有好多東西要看，沒時間閙你們，要我哭我眼睛還會閉起來，那不就看不到啦，機會難得，這種賠本生意小姐我是不幹的。
這個時候，Hannah的兩個小眼睛會睜的雪亮，咕嚕嚕的轉，還會努力的調整她那個笨重的小頭，看能不能找到更好的觀賞角度，很是有趣。
前兩天，鏘鏘鏘。。。好奇寶寶走運了 - 媽媽晚上把她帶到龍潭姨婆家。
全部沒看過的姨婆家！！！
哇哇哇，不用吃奶，不用換尿布，不用哄，一聲不吭。Hannah一附恨不得全身上下都長滿眼睛樣子（這樣眼科生意就紅啦），趴在姨婆身上到處看，小頭晃啊晃，什麽都好看的不得了，過了平時的睡覺時間，卻一點睡意也沒有。
最誇張的是，後來姨婆把她放到沙發上，自己躺了老半天，大家也沒逗她，她卻能靜靜的躺著自己看東看西，一聲不吭，一點睡意也沒有。
媽媽和璇璇阿姨驚嘆：“哇，小傢伙到新地方，真的看不完耶！”
燕燕阿姨充滿實驗與逗小孩精神：“真的嗎？她真的在看嗎？”說著就拿手去擋Hannah的視線。
爸爸是眼科醫師的Hannah小姐一看不到，就立刻診斷出這不是視網膜、黃斑部、眼壓、眼内炎等諸多問題，主要是 - 被擋住了！！！！
看不到，就不要被擋住就好啦！！（不知道醫師門診這樣說會不會被打）
於是Hannah就很快的把頭撇開 - 不要擋住我啦！！！
哇哈哈哈，我女兒實在太聰明了（趁她還沒有辦法考零分回來讓我們認清事實之前，媽媽先自我陶醉一下，哈哈）。
只見燕燕阿姨擋Hannah視線的手越動越快，Hannah的頭就越躲越快，把大家都逗樂了。媽媽趕快找出相機，拍下“燕燕阿姨鬥Hannah” 的最後一段。
Hannah is a very curious baby (see Clever Daddy incident 2). She loves new environments and would study them with such intensity that Grandma often couldn't resist asking her: "Do you really understand what you are seeing?"
Whenever we've exhausted our bag of tricks to appease her, 95% of the time, we just have to take her to an unfamiliar room/space to get her to stop crying immediately. In a new space, we often could literally hold her any method we wish, not talk or play with her, and she'd still be perfectly content rolling her eyes and her little head around checking out the new place. No time to cry now - you adults need to find other ways to entertain yourselves.
Two days ago, Mommy took Hannah to her auntie's house - which she's never been.
Boy, so much to see!! Hannah was perfectly quiet being carried around by her Grand Auntie - no need for food, diaper change, or entertainment. No desire to sleep past her bedtime.
Most amazingly, even after she was put down on the sofa, she remained quiet, alert and content without needing anyone to engage her.
"Goodness, she's really soaking this place up." Mommy and Auntie Xuanxuan commented.
Auntie Yanyan proceeded to block Hannah's vision with her hand to test whether Hannah was really looking. Hannah turned her head to dodge Auntie Yanyan's hand. Auntie Yanyan's hand followed Hannah's eyes to block them again...
Hence commenced the Hand-Eye chase in the video below.

天才爸爸 Clever Daddy
都說一個領域的新人常常能帶來從所未有的創意 - 作爲新手爸媽，爸爸媽媽的創意也不少- 有些讓阿公阿媽姨婆舅公們覺得有意思，有些則讓大家想要想要敲我們兩個的大頭。
不過既然這篇是媽媽寫的，就出出爸爸的糗吧。。。哇哈哈哈。以下兩篇其實還蠻天才的呢。
1。媽媽懷孕的時候讀到，有的嬰兒一點點光就會七早八早的起床。爲了不要早上四點就被小孩叫起來，很有遠慮的請新店阿媽搞來一大捆不透光的窗簾布，煞有介事的跟爸爸商量：“你看我們要不要換過臥房的窗簾啊？”
天才爸爸想都不想就說：“不用吧，如果是怕小孩見到光會太早起來，就拿那塊布把他蓋起來就好啦。”
哈哈哈哈。。。連換窗簾都免了，很有創意的吧！
（後來Hannah其實是個肚子餓或睡飽了才起床的體貼甜心，到目前爲止光線對她好像不怎麽影響睡眠，倒是媽媽爲了喂母奶，每天兩三點就要起床。。。也不用等到四五點太陽出來了。陽光根本是個次要問題。。。慘慘慘：P)
2。Hannah從滿兩週開始，就表現出對身邊事物環境的無限好奇。睡飽了就要人帶她到處看，從不同角度看身邊的事物，環境。她會用腳腳踢踢要人換地方，會啊啊啊的要我們把她抱高一點（視野比較好），會想辦法將她的小腦袋晃到不同的角度（換肩膀等），就為了把身邊的事物看個清楚。不順她的意，她就眼淚汪汪的抗議。她抗議的樣子標準的好笑，一手握拳高擧亂揮，嘴巴大聲啊啊叫，再不理她就會開始踱腳噴淚了，真是笑果一流。
我們雖然欣喜她對世界的好奇，但是整天當小胖丫頭的“人馬”真是累啊。小胖丫頭才不管你現在是在忙什麽，說要逛街，就是現在、馬上、立刻。。。爾等不得拖延偷懶。
有天在新店阿媽家才開晚飯，躺在桌上的小胖丫頭就開始啊啊叫了，媽媽跟爸爸說：“她想要換角度看了，你去抱她吧。”
爸爸靈機一動：“我知道了，下次去買一個圓桌轉盤，吃飯把她放上面，大家夾菜時轉來轉去，她就可以一直換角度，我們就可以安靜吃飯了。”
我的老公太有才了！！！
附上爸爸幫Hannah拍嗝的照片，很有架勢吧！
New people often bring new ideas to a field. Well, as rookies in the field of parenting, we've got plenty of creative ideas - some win more approval than others; and some are just plain funny. Since Mommy is the one writing the blog, let's just share a couple of Daddy's creative ideas for laughs.
1. Before Hannah was born, Mommy had heard that children would sometimes get up too early (and, therefore, get their parents up too early) if their bedroom windows let in too much sun. To prevent this serious problem, Mommy quickly secured a large roll of 100% light proof window treatment fabric and consulted with Daddy: "What do you think? Should we change our drapes?"
Hannah's brilliant dad: “No. We just have to cover her with that fabric."
I guess that would indeed be less work.
2. Hannah's curiosity became evident to all her caretakers 2 weeks after birth. She would really study her environment, make people take her to see new rooms or different angles of the same room and even swing her head so she might get a different/better view.
In case you might have trouble understanding her, she would kick, yell, wave, cry ... until you oblige. "Thou shalt not be dumb or slothful." says her Highness.
Everyone in the house is Hannah's human horse now - make no mistake, it's a ton of work to endlessly carry a wiggly 5kg+ baby everywhere - no bathroom break, no meal time, no sitting down for a little bit ...no slacking.
One night when Hannah started yelling during dinner at Grandma's place, Mommy turned to Daddy: "She wants to see from a different angle now, could you take her around?"
A light bulb went off in Daddy's head: "We need to get a lazy susan and put her on it. This way, she'll be exposed to all sorts of angles as everyone turn that thing to get their food ... and we will actually be able to eat！”
Hahaha...
I married a genius.
Below are pics of Daddy giving Hannah a spanky (burping her). He's pretty good, huhh?!

靠靠 Clingy
Hannah這傢伙還不會講話，但是靠依賴溫柔的靠靠，把大家哄地團團轉。新店阿媽說她靠人的時候，活像一隻小猴，媽媽覺得圓圓的活像個小肉丸。
Hannah survives by clinging onto anyone who would let her.
Hannah survives by clinging onto anyone who would let her.
滿月 One Month Old
Hannah 滿月已經過17天了。媽媽懷孕時就想幫她記錄一下成長，結果Hannah一生下來，全家就忙的天翻地覆。每天好像也沒什麽事，可是光是弄她的吃喝拉撒，外加哄哄小傢伙，就累死了。現在來補記錄一下吧。
滿月體重：4.8kg vs. 出生時3.3kg
滿月身高：56cm vs. 出生時 49cm
會的玩意：
10天左右 – 換尿片會把兩隻腳擡起來等大人換，明顯喜歡聼人説話
18天 – 回到臺灣，第一次發現她對新的地方充滿好奇，會啊啊啊的要求大人帶她到處看 – 從此每天都需要帶她到處看 – 真是可愛又可怕。
25天 – 脖子越來越有力氣了，抱和趴的時候有時可以成功的把頭換邊。
27天 – 會跟著聲音轉頭，看看誰在説話。聼人家説話，可以非常專心的聼很久，超有興趣的。
還有很多其他的成長變化，比如：
1．越來越會笑了，早上心情好的時候，會衝著人笑，甚至會笑出聲來。
2．手手會抓東西，抱她的時候她會抓住你的衣服或肉，怕自己掉下來。洗澡的時候如果抓得到你的衣服他也會抓，怕自己淹死吧。。。真是個愛惜生命的傢伙。
3．手手腳腳都越來越有力氣了。
Hannah’s really subjected everyone to slaving after her in the little while she’s been in this world. Her mom and grandma’s life objectives have tentatively simplified to 3 goals: keeping Hannah fed, changed, and not crying … and we are barely making it (and sleep deprived too). Babies are so much work!
Lucky for Hannah that she’s so incredibly adorable – her mother, for one, would confess that any other project requiring this much work would be abandoned or be up for some serious corner cutting or other forms of abuse immediately.
My grand realization thus far: Yes! It’s really true: You have to teach babies everything (except crying and pooping). According to the books, we have lessons like “using your neck”, “fine motor skills” …etc. to look forward to teaching her. I didn’t think these skills need to be taught! But then what if Hannah grows up unable to use her finger to scrape cookie dough from a bowl ... that would certainly leave some permanent emotional scars. So we better get some formal lessons ready.
Hannah did learn/become better at a few things on her own during her first month of life (Thank goodness). For those who care, here’s the short list:
1. Hannah laughs/smiles a lot more now, especially in the morning. She will smile back at people smiling at her when she’s in a good mood.
2. Hannah knows to raise her legs when we change her or when she wants to be changed.
3. Hannah tracks people and voices with her eyes and loves listening to conversations.
4. Hannah loves to look around and would demand that the person holding her patrol the house so she could check out her environment.
5. Hannah will grab the shirts (or the skin) of the person holding her to enhance the safety of her position (or so her mom thinks).
6. Hannah has started to lift her head. Her arms and legs are also a lot stronger now.
Also, Hannah gained 3.3 lbs and grew 2.75 inches in her first month.
All in all, we survived the first month. Let’s hope things become easier from here – as we can’t imagine what harder would be like.
