August 2017

August was such a long month!  I think it was extra-long for me because I have been constantly thinking about the start of Kindergarten.  We had a great week at the beach even though Hailey decided to get yet another ear infection (3rd one in two months) and be a pain in the butt when it came to sleep!  She was up roughly two times a night and would freak out when we put her back in bed.  Justin was on vacation with us until Wednesday.  The few nights without him was tough work!  To top it all off, when we got home from the beach, Justin headed out for a quick trip to DC for a boys/fantasy football weekend.  I was exhausted by the time he came home! 
We did have some excitement on vacation when Taylor proposed to Aunt Shelly!!  It was such an emotional night and we couldn’t be more thrilled!!  I was the last to know, which still shocks me, but Taylor did a great job!  We also got to see an eclipse...it was a cloudy day to begin with, but we were able to see it get more dark out and watch the sun slowly disappear.
Next up was the first day of Kindergarten.  The night before the first day was a little rough, but I attribute some of it to a wacky week prior having been at the beach.  Addison was a bit of a train wreck, which made me upset too!  I worry so much about the girls and I just hope Addy isn’t too much like her mom in regards to anxiety.  The first day went off without a hitch and she seemed to enjoy it.  The whole day I sat at my desk with heart palpitations!  That night I went to sleep hard!
Last up, Hailey turned 7 months old! 
Sleeping – This child hates sleep.  She is horrible at taking naps and is really giving me a run for my money!  At the beach, we only brought her sleep chair so we have reverted back to that.  She desperately needs her room/crib and I am getting to the point where I am just going to let her cry it out.  On vacation she literally would only take naps on mom/dad or in her stroller sooo more fun! 
Eating – she’s eating more & more food.  She has pureed food at lunch and dinner and has bottles every other time.  She has been eating little wafer like teething biscuits and enjoy them…they melt easily so she can’t get into too much trouble with them.
Clothing – Hailey is wearing mostly 9 month tops and 12 month bottoms.  She had 12 month bathing suits at the beach and they ran a little big on her but got the job done.  I do love putting Hailey in old Addy clothes, brings back such good memories!
Stats – When Hailey & I visited the urgent care on vacation, she weighed in at 18lbs 3.2 oz. (August 23rd).  she is still pretty long, but she seems to be just the right amount of chubby!
Loves – she is such a happy baby.  She enjoys watching everything and anything surrounding her.  She is constantly on the watch and gets side-tracked so easily.  She has to be the nosiest baby ever!
Hates – she doesn’t like being put down!  She wants constant attention or to be held, which let’s be honest, can’t always happen! She doesn’t enjoy sleep as much as I would like her to either.  She gets put down and gets ticked pretty quickly!
