It’s officially
the holidays! We started off the month
of November with many sicknesses!
Addison had a stomach bug which came and went two times over the course
of 2 weeks with a cough mixed in. Hailey
had multiple colds and several ear infections.
Justin & I both had minimal cough & colds! It sure was interesting when both girls were
sick. Addison wants to snuggle with me
all the time and Hailey gets jealous and she too wants me. It makes for very long days/ nights! I’m hoping our sick days are far behind
us!
Addison is
trucking along at school and loves how she can read. She is starting to write sentences as
well. It is always amusing to see how
she writes things and how it translates!
Hailey seems to be learning new tricks left & right as well. She has 2 bottom teeth (which Addy found one
day) and just started pulling up on things.
She has the general idea on how to blow kisses, waves, claps, throws the
ball & shouts. She also has a temper
and gets ticked if she doesn’t get her way pretty quickly!
We spent
Thanksgiving at my parents where Gannon & Becky joined us as well. The following day Amanda & Emy came into
town for a few days so we got to hang with them! Addison was a great helper with Emy, but she
was exhausted by the end of the day!
Hailey is 10
months old …double digits seems so exciting!
Sleeping – I can’t wait to type about how great
Hailey has been doing in the sleep department…however, this isn’t the
month. She has been a terror as we
transition her to the crib. Some nights
go smoothly, other nights, not so much!
We are kind of doing half & half currently. Half the night in her crib, the other half in
the rock n’ play. My mom thinks I should
just burn that damn chair! She might be
on to something!
Eating – she definitely enjoys feeding herself. I keep branching out very slowly and trying
new things with her. She did try turkey
on thanksgiving and seemed to enjoy it!
She also had a tiny bit of whipped cream off my pumpkin pie, which she
really liked.
Clothing – she’s basically in all 12 month clothes. She wears some 18 month pj’s because they are
slightly roomier for her. Her 12 month
tops are a little long on her arms, but perfect on her torso.
Stats – I have no idea about height or head, but
she’s roughly 21 lbs currently. I still
lug her car seat around and am thinking that must come to an end soon because
she is HEAVY!
Loves – Hailey loves her independence. She crawls around at warp speed and really
likes how she can pull up on the ottoman.
When she is in the crawling position she brings her feet to the ground
and stands in a “V” formation. She looks
like a bear, but I think she is trying to stand on her own.
Hates – she hates going down for naps or going in her crib even
slightly awake. She is also starting to
become a real joy when we have to change her diaper. She doesn’t want to lie flat on her back, she
rather be trying to roll over and get up.
