Well, that hurt

Hailey and I were in a wreck on Wednesday. Definitely not my first wreck, but it was hers :-(

Thankfully we are both ok and so was everyone involved. A truck was trying to cross a highway at a dangerous spot and ended up going when it wasn't clear. He hit a woman who then ened up broadsiding me. I didn't even see it coming! All of the side air bags deployed which is why I'm so thankful Hailey rides in the middle of the backseat. Poor girl would have gotten hit by them too.

There is lots of damage to my car and we aren't sure if it will be totaled or not. I will say that after the wreck my faith in my Ford Explorer was confirmed. We were safe and the second the air bags deployed, the Sync feature called 911. Because of that we had EMS and cops dispatched to us in record timing. So, if anyone is looking for a new, safe vehicle, get an Explorer!!

7 Months


I feel like we just did your 6 month post. My goodness time is flying by!

Stats:
Weight - ?
Height - ?
Diaper - Size 3

Eating:
  You have now tried Mango, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. I'm thinking Green Beans are now your favorite by far! You seem to really love your veggies which makes this mama very happy! You have also tried your first lemon. Of course you made a funny face, but you kept going back for more. You also did the same thing with sour pickles. A girl after my own heart!!

Moving:
You still haven't figured out how to use your legs to crawl, but you are trying. You get very frustrated when you can't do it though. You are rolling all around the floor when you play and just recently you learned how to sit up from a lying down position. We've only seen you do it a hand full of times so we shall see if you keep it up.

Sleeping:
It's gotten better thank goodness. It seemed like the whole 6 month was one big mess of sleep at night. You've finally realized that you can flip onto your tummy and sleep much more soundly. We had to lower your crib mattress since you also learned how to use the rail to sit up in bed. Last night you were fretting in your sleep and I went in to check on you and you had somehow managed to flip yourself completely around and had your head down at the foot of the bed. I didn't bother you and you slept like a rock the rest of the night. Your naps are getting a little better. Typically on the weekends your Daddy and I end up giving you a few ounces of formula and lay you in our bed. You just seem to sleep so soundly in there. Plus that gives one of us a chance to nap as well :-)
Talking:
You still jabber a ton and it turns into screams or growls occasionally. I swear you are starting to say "Hi" and actually know what it means. 


We had to take you to your first doctor appointment for illness. We thought you may have had an ear infection, but turns out you didn't! Not sure if you are starting teething or what, but you were a very unhappy camper for a few days. I was glad to know you weren't sick, but at the same time it would have been nice to have an explanation for your fussiness.

You also attended your first wedding this past weekend. Your second cousin Melinda got married. I was pretty stressed out thinking about how you would do, but you had a great time! You were so happy and loved seeing all of the people there. Thankfully you have had no stranger danger and don't mind when others hold you or talk to you. You finally passed out for the night in my arms. I could have held you all night long. You aren't really a cuddler so it melted my heart for you to come and hold onto me and snuggle into my neck and fall asleep.

Easter!

We just celebrated Hailey's first Easter! I love all of her first holidays and I always dream about what the holiday next year will be like. We went over to my mom and dad's house on Easter Sunday for a lunch full of ham, mashed potatoes and rolls. I mean seriously, what else do you need?? Veggies?? Psh!




My mom put candy and money in eggs and had my brother "hide" them in the front yard. He didn't do much hiding, but then again the only hunters were Avery and Hailey. He carried Hailey around and let her hunt a few eggs.

Hailey was a tad grumpy that day, but she was able to take a good nap once I laid down with her on Grammy and Pawpaw's bed. I'd love to say I took a nap right along with her, but I didn't. I felt like every time I'd start dozing off, she would start stirring.

Can't wait until Easter 2015!! Hailey will be able to run around with cousin Avery hunting the eggs!
