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.

Houston, We Have a Bellybutton!!!

I didn't think we would ever get to see this little girls belly button, but the cord stump finally fell off this morning, and she has a cute little "outie". It's funny what excites me now!!!! Haley is doing well, she looks like she is gaining some weight, we'll find out how much at her appointment next week. She is sleep pretty good at night, usually only wakes up twice to eat and get a diaper change. We went on our first outing last weekend to SouthPark. She did really well there, loves to shop just like her mommy!!!!

Today's Doctor Appointment

Little Haley is starting to beef up!!! She has gained a pound since her last doctor's visit, she now weighs 7lbs 8ounces. The doctor is very pleased with her progress. We are doing better with the breastfeeding. She still does well at night too, gets up 2-3 times to eat and thats it. Will and I are doing pretty good too, we're not completely exhausted....yet.
