Hannahs Story... ten to twelve months

(June 2002 through August 2002)

  

5 June 2002 My cousin Nick paid me a visit en route to the UK from New Zealand. He felt it necessary to modify my eating program somewhat, claiming this stuff is better than mashed sweet potatoes. Tastes like plastic to me.
10 June 2002 Think I can get a few bucks from the nice people at Coca-Cola for this one? No, I'm not really drinking it, but when you're cutting teeth, chewing on an ice cold can is as good as it gets!
21 June 2002 There is no funny title for this one. She really is that cute :)
28 June 2002 Hannah goes to School and puts her thinking cap on... literally! She is participating in a study of Infant memory at the Institute of Child Development (ICD) at the University of Minnesota. That's a pretty tolerant child, if you ask me! It takes about 15 minutes to get the cap on and squirt conductive gel into the middle of the electrodes and then get something stuck to your cheek to monitor for blinking (not shown here !). Didn't seem to faze her in the slightest...
28 June 2002 Here's the results of Hannahs second visit to the ICD...
2nd July 2002 Back at the ICD - just before donning the cap for the last time; one more visit to go, at the end of July.
4th July 2002 My first Independance Day. I guess I have a few years to go before I get to throw off the oppresive rule of the English (Dad being English and all) But I can stick my tongue out at him now...
7th July 2002 This hot, sticky weather is yuk! 90° F (32.2° C) with a dew point of 72° F (22.2° C). It's not tropical but it's not particularly comfortable. The only thing a girl can do is put on a suitable hat, go down to the pool and go sail a boat.
11th July 2002 That's an old-fashioned look...
12th July 2002 They said I'd like this refreshing melon but it seems a bit tough to me.
17th July 2002 Dad says this swimming thing is worth doing. I'm doing it because it's fun. I kick my legs and paddle with my arms, I'm sure I'd go along fine if he'd just let me go. He just keeps on about not trying to drink the pool dry or some such thing...
7th August 2002 I can climb, I can stand, I can walk a bit... I'm pretty pleased with myself, all in all!
7th August 2002 The outside world. It's big and green and... Wow.
20th August 2002 Waiter! More Water, please...
20th August 2002 What do you think of my latest "Safety Outfit" ? Should stop me from bumping into things. Might help me float too...
28th August 2002 We're going back to Where ?
