15 Months

Hailey,  you are now 15 months!!

Stats:

Weight -27.5 lbs

Height -33 inches

Diaper Size - 4

Clothes - 24-2T tops and 24-2t bottoms
Teeth - You now have SEVEN teeth! You went from two to seven in just a few shorts months. You look so stinkin cute with those teeth!

Eating:

You eat constantly. I swear you are going to eat us out of house and home. You have finally grown a love for apples, but it has to be the whole apple, not cut up. You are too big girl for that.

Moving:

You have starting to really dance a lot these days. You love dancing! You also have started climbing on anything and everything.

Sleeping:

You are still sleeping great. We have gone through a week or so of you waking up SO early, but you've seemed to work that out. You are now napping like a champ as well.

  Talking: 

You don't stop talking.ever! You are my little parrot and repeat everything you hear, good and bad :-) You have started using what I like to call a death metal voice. You think it's so funny to growl "Mommy" or "Daddy".

Birthday Party

Your first birthday fell on a Saturday so your first birthday party was also on your actual birthday! We celebrated at Barton Hill Farms. They have this cute little party area cut out of the corn maze. Very rustic and lots of shade by a big oak tree. I wanted to keep it simple and went with a pink and orange pumpkin theme. 

You loved your cake!!! You've had a few tastings of sweets, but never have you gotten to have something all to yourself. You got sooo excited when we set the cake down in front of you!

 Giving daddy kisses!

 You and bestie Emma checking each other out. You don't know it yet, but you girls are going to be best friends just like your mama's are :-)

 Family shot. Daddy, Mommy, Bubba and you! This was before the cake and you definitely look impatient.

 

One Year!!!

Whoops. I'm a tad bit behind on Hailey's updates :-)

Hailey turned one year old on October 4th. I still can't believe my baby girl is a one year old. I have a TODDLER! 

 

Stats:

Weight -25.5 lbs

Height -31 inches

Diaper Size - 4

Clothes - 18-24 month tops and 24-2t bottoms
Teeth: Still holding onto your two bottom teeth, but I swear your top teeth are starting to move down.

Eating:

You are still eating like a champ. You love to eat your veggies (peas, carrots, green beans) and you are eh about fruit. You definitely have texture issues like your mama, but you always find something you like. You really like cheese :-) We have moved away from the day time bottles and you are now only getting a morning and a night bottle. You love drinking your water out of your sippy cups or even PawPaw's big cup.

Moving:

You have gotten much better with your balance and now look where you are walking. You've gotten awesome at side stepping things that are in your way.

Sleeping:

You are still doing great at night with the sleep. Some nights you fret in your sleep, but you don't wake up. The naps are still hit or miss. I'm sure I will get a few pointers from Dr Casey at your one year appointment!

  Talking: 

You finally said Unckie!! One once you said it, you won't stop :-) We are still working on Grammy. You pick up new words all of the time. So much so that I've lost count.

It's been such a wild ride for us this year. Lots of ups and downs, but SO many happy and my-heart-is-about-to-explode with love moments. You have filled our lives with so much love and joy. You made me a mom and have taught me so many life lessons in your short year here on earth. I love you with all my heart Hailey Grace!

Hi Daddy!

"Hi Daddy!"

Your said your first sentence last night! Daddy was talking with the AC repair man and you wan't his attention really bad. I let you down, you toddled over to him, looked up with those big beautiful eyes and said "Hi Daddy"!! It was soooo cute.

11 Months!

Have I not done an 11 month post? Whoops! I hope I can remember everything :-)

Stats:

Weight -? She sat on the scale the other day and it read 25lbs

Height -?

Diaper Size - 4

Clothes - We are having to move to 18 month tops and 24 month bottoms
Teeth: Still holding onto your two bottom teeth

Eating:

You are doing great in the food department. You are starting to get away from baby food and want more and more "big" food. You love eating off of our plate and you get quite frustrated if we aren't feeding you what we are eating. You love when I heat up a bowl of frozen veggies. You gobble them down! So thankful you love the veggies. You also love turkey, ham, ground beef and brisket. You are hit or miss with the fruits. I honestly think it's a texture thing for you. You are taking less formula bottles now. We have almost moved you onto full cows milk. You haven't batted an eye! Now if we can just get you to drink it from your sippy cup instead of a bottle :-)

Moving:

You are walking full time, and honestly most of the time you are running! You don't look where you are walking so you step on everything. If it's in your way you just bulldoze right through it. You have started dancing a little to Ellen.

Sleeping:

You are still doing great at night with the sleep. Some nights you fret in your sleep, but you don't wake up. The naps are still hit or miss. I think you are just one of those kids that will always fight a nap and will stop taking them all together more quickly than other kids.

  Talking: 

Your jabbing has REALLY gotten comical. You no longer jabber in one syllable. You just rattle on and on with different tones and syllables and sounds. It sounds like you have your own language. You have picked up hi, bye, ba-ba (bottle) bay (bear) and boo (book). We are still trying to get you to say Grammy or Unckie, but no luck.

I can't believe you are almost a year old. This first year has been a roller coaster with it's up and downs, but it's been so worth it and your daddy and I love you more and more each day. You have the best personality. You are so silly and sweet and also a bit stubborn and head strong. You definitely know what you want and sure try to get it! I can't wait to celebrate in a few weeks!

10 Months!

Stats:

Weight -?

Height -?

Diaper Size - 3

Clothes - You are mostly in 12 month clothes.
Teeth: Still holding onto your two bottom teeth

Eating:

Food is your best friend. You are still getting a 4 oz bottle about every 3 hours and one 7 oz bottle before bed. You are still eating 3 meals a day and typically do pretty good with the purees. I've noticed lately though that you are wanting more "big people" food. Anytime someone is eating, you think that they should share!

Moving:

Baby girl, you have taken your first steps!!! It started off with two or three steps and now you are walking across Grammy's living room! It's a slow wobbly walk, but you are doing it and you are SO proud of yourself!

Sleeping:

You have been sleeping great! I really shouldn't even mention this because I feel it will jinx us. You sleep all night now thank goodness. The only set back we have had is when you got your first yucky cold over the weekend. You woke up Saturday morning feeling awful with a runny nose and cough. Sleep at night was a bit rough, but I think you are finally starting to kick the cold and get back into your good sleep again. You are still taking about 2 naps a day which I am good with.

  Talking: 

You have just recently started saying PawPaw and that makes your PawPaw soooo happy! You are roaring anytime you see a Tiger. You have also starting saying Moo for cow. I don't think you have added too many more words this past month, but you sure do know how to communicate what you want. When you think it's time for an afternoon snack you start jabbering to Grammy while you crawl into the kitchen. You also let us know when you are finished eating.

 

You are loving baths so much lately. You splash and play with your bath toys. You think it's so cool to put them in your cup and dump them out. You are starting to mimic so much of what we do. We love you so much and we love getting to know you better each day!

First Steps!!

Hailey took a total of 5 steps last night at my parents house!! She took 3 and then took 2 more. I don't think she had a clue that she did it. When we got home I tried to get her to do it again for Daddy, but she wasn't having it! I really think it was an accident, but we'll see if she does it again anytime soon!

Also, teething can bite my butt!! My poor baby has been trying to cut her top two teeth for over two weeks now. She's been in pain and not her usual silly self. Stupid teeth. Break through the skin already!!!
