what happens at Grandma's...

stays there!! Here's Hailey visiting with her Nani and their dog, Thor! He's so much more calm and relaxed than Allie!! :)

kisses for Mommy

Hailey and I were having so much fun the other day, so I tried to get it on camera! I don't know if you can tell or not, but I really do love this little girl!! :) Even after last night when she kept me up for a good hour and a half crying! (I decided to just let her cry herself back to sleep and I finally couldn't take it anymore after an hour, but then it took a half hour to get her calmed down and back to sleep!!) Not sure what has gotten into her lately...she's just been pretty cranky at night and not sleeping so well! It isn't as if she didn't get good naps the last few days- we haven't gone anywhere but the neighbor's pool since Tuesday!! So, hopefully it is just a stage and she'll grow out of it soon. Korey's pretty sure that she's teething and I sort of am hoping that he's right. At least then we'll have a reason! but, I did feel in her mouth this morning and I still cant' find anything, so I don't know! I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens and how it all goes!

Here's my beautiful little peanut playing on the floor. I just loved this little dress and the adorable matching bow! As you can tell, it's still kind of cold, so she had to wear socks with her dress. I don't know what the deal with summer is this year...but, I sure could use some real summer days!! Enough of this cold stuff!!

Isn't she doing well with sitting?? I feel like each day she gets better and better at it. Although, I was thinking that she was doing really well until I put her down at the library and she fell forward while I was looking at books...and, if it's not bad enough that I was neglecting my child while looking for books- she hit her head on the metal shelves and started absolutely screaming. Needless to say the ladies and all the other patrons in the library weren't my best friends! One of them came running over and the other one just stared at us...I did do my best to calm her down, but...apparently it wasn't enough. They kept remarking on her huge goose egg and how bad they felt for the "poor little peanut"! (not like I didn't feel bad enough on my own...I guess I needed them to help me feel more guilty!) So, the moral of this story is that you shouldn't take your daughter to the library until she can sit on her own- or unless she's small enough to still be in her carseat! (plus, you should always dress her in pink...three of them called her a little boy!)

6 Month Checkup

Hailey had her 6 month check up and I just had to take some pics before she was given her shots...just to prove that she does like the doctor's office- just not the shots that go along with the visit! She really enjoyed looking at the baby in the mirror...what do they have a mirror in this spot for anyways??? (other than for babies to look at themself in!) :)

So, apparently Hailey needs to put on a little bit of weight...and grow a little bit! She had to get weighed and measured two times, because the doctor didn't even believe that the nurse had gotten it right the first time! (how about that for trust...) ;) But, she did get it right the first time!! The reason the doc didn't believe it was because Hailey hadn't gotten any taller in the two months that have passed since she was there last and she had gained only 1 lb! She is now 24 inches long and 13.5lbs! When she was born she was in the 20th percentile for babies and all along she had either stayed the same or she had moved a little bit, until now...now she is in the 5th percentile for weight and the 3rd percentile for height. Not too suprising, considering that her parents are both super short and on the small size. Plus, it really doesn't seem like she's super small- unless you put her next to other babies her age, then she just seems like a little tiny peanut. :) But, I think that because she is small all around- instead of just skinny that makes her seem more "normal"! I guess we shouldn't worry about it too much, but no matter what I think, as a Mom, you have to worry about it a little bit. I feel bad, because she hadn't been nursing very well lately and she had been wanting more food and I had been cutting her off, because I thought she was just eating too much!! (just shows how much I know!!) :) So, now we have to put a scoop of formula in her food each time and mix all of her foods with cereal. (I hadn't been mixing them with cereal, because I was thinking that the cereal was making her constipated...)
