We Have Moved....

to a new site that is. We quickly out grew the old site. Hopefully this site will allow me to post more pictures and video, I'm leaving the old site up just to keep track of growth and milestones, but I will be actively blogging here. You can still access the picture sites through this website, just look under the picture heading on the left side of the screen. Haley is doing great, she is babbling her little head off and just about to roll over. She hates being on her tummy so she doesn't have much incentive to want to roll onto her belly. We have been swimming a few times and we started feeding her cereal. As soon as I figure out how to add video to this site, I have some cute video of her "trying" to eat....more like laughing at us while trying to feed her.

4 Month Check-up

Haley had her 4 month check up today. She now weighs in at 13lb 1oz which is in the 50th percentile and is 24 1/2 inches long, in the 75th percentile. She got 3 shots which, of course, she was none too happy about. The doctor said everything looks good, she is growing and developing wonderfully!!! Haley is definately much more interactive now. She is smiling and laughing a lot now at the slightest little thing. She still hasn't rolled over, but she is working on it. She likes to sit up in her Bumbo a lot, and enjoys looking at herself in the mirror.....she takes that after her daddy!!!! I'm trying to figure out how to put some videos up for everyone to see, so as soon as I figure out how to do that, I will update you with a link so you can see all the fun stuff Haley has been doing.

Happy (late) Father's Day

Haley wanted me to tell all the daddies out there "Happy Fathers Day!!!!" We had a good day yesterday. This was, of course, Will's first Fathers Day. He got cards from everyone, even the furbabies!!! Haley gave him a new golf club (like he needs more of those!) and a little "new dad" figurine. We spent the afternoon by the pool with the grandpas. There are a couple of pictures up on the photosites of our afternoon. Haley is getting bigger and bigger. I would guess that she is around 13-14 pounds. She is starting to roll up onto her side, but hasnt quite made it all the way over. She is starting to take notice of her toys and play with them a little bit. But boy does she have a temper!!!! If she doen't get her way right away, she will let you know about it. In general, she is a happy baby though, just don't cross her!!!! We go back to the doctor in a few weeks for more shots and a check up. I really dread those shots!!!!

Haley's New Favorite Hobby

Well, I think Haley is gonna be one of those children that has to put everything in their mouth. She has started this new thing of wadding up any dress that she has on, and cramming as much as she can in her mouth and chewing and slobbering all over it. Needless to say, any dress that she has on is perpetually soaked. I can't decide if she is just chewing on her dress for fun, or if she just enjoys showing off her little belly. It is so funny to watch

Nighttime Bliss

Haley has passed a very important milestone....sleeping through the night!!!! She has done fabulous since we moved her into her room. The other night, she slept for a total of 10 hours, I couldn't believe it. She has also discovered her thumbs. It is so funny, she'll be chewing on her thumb and then she'll move her arm and the thumb comes out of her mouth and she gets so mad at herself, like "where'd my thumb go, who took it??!!!" but then in a few seconds she will find it again. I'm sure I won't find this so cute when she is 10 years old and still sucking her thumb (hmmm, does that remind me of someone I know??? ) but for now it is cute!!!

Growing and Growing

Haley had her 2 month check up last week. She is now a whopping 11 pounds 5 ounces and 23 inches long. That puts her at around the 90th percentile for length and the 50th percentile for weight. Poor thing also got her first set of vaccines. She got one oral vaccine and then 3 shots. It was pretty pitiful and needless to say she was pretty grumpy for the rest of the day. She is just changing so much everyday. Tonight is our first attempt at letting her sleep in her room. We have been having pretty good nights lately. She sleeps about 7-8 hours a night fairly consistantly. We'll see how tonight goes though, I think it may be harder for me than it will be for her!!!!

Look What I Can Do

Haley is getting so big!!! She is starting to hold her head up on her own. She is also much more alert and interactive. She likes to look at her mobiles and do tummy time on the activity mat. Pretty soon she will be rolling over. She is about to pass another important milestone, sleeping through the night. She has always been pretty good at night, only waking up once to eat and get her diaper changed. For the last two nights she has skipped the 3am feeding. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she will keep up the good work.
