April 2018

I didn’t do any update in March!?  The time just got away from me!  I’m back for April, but finding time to do updates is tough!  We started the month off with Easter.  Justin’s parents were in town for Easter and the week after.  They watched the girls since Addison had spring break and Justin & I still needed to work!  It was a great week and we all got in some quality time.  Addy & Hailey both were sick with minor stomach bugs, but nothing too horrible.

We went to Hilburn’s annual Carnival for the first time and had a blast.  Addy had a lot of fun and was super excited to bring her buddy Brooklyn with us.   Hailey was really good and did a lot of people watching and food tasting!

We also went to Lynnwood one Sunday in April for the St. Baldrick’s event.  Uncle Gannon was there and had raised over $2,000 to shave off his beard!  It really was a fun day and for such a good cause.  Hailey was slightly skeptical of Uncle Gannon after they shaved him, but warmed back up to him eventually.  Addy loved it and thought he looked just like daddy.

Hailey is a FULL BLOWN walker at this point!  She will crawl still, but definitely likes to walk.  She still looks like Frankenstein, but she keeps getting up after each fall ready to roll.

Sleeping – Hailey is doing OK.  It’d always something with this kid!  Her current “thing”, is waking up at 9:30pm every night, crying pretty hard.  One of us will go in and rock her and she goes back down pretty easy, but it’s weird.  She still wakes up at least once a night, sometimes twice.

Eating – She is doing really good trying new things!  This month she tried a rice bowl of mom’s, a pita of dad’s, pizza frite and corn on the cob.   If she doesn’t like something, she immediately will just open her mouth and let whatever is in there, fall out.  Also, if she’s done with her food she will just start swiping all of her food off the table.  Thank goodness for Brinkley!

Clothing – she is wearing all 18 months clothes with some 24 month pj’s in the mix. 

Loves – Hailey’s love for Addison continues and it melts my heart everytime!  They really do get along well currently and Addy puts up with a lot from Hailey.  I know this love will probably pass, but for now I am enjoying it.  Hailey likes taking walks, bath tub time, any water play, stealing my iphone, coloring and pretty much doing anything Addison is doing.

Hates – Getting Hailey out of the bath tub continues to be awful.  She kicks and screams and we pretty much try to ignore her best we can!  She has moments where she freaks out in the car seat, but usually they pass.   

Hailey’s 15 Month stats –

Weight – 22 lbs 11.5 oz (72%)

Height – 30.5 inches (50%)

Head – 18.11 inches (60%)

March 2018

February 2018

I feel like I blinked and it was March!  February started off nice enough but towards the end got a little rough.  At the beginning of the month, Addison had an awards ceremony where she received the “Exceptional Improvement” award.  It was a nice little ceremony at school where Justin, my parents, Hailey & I were able to attend. 

Towards the end of the month, Hailey got a pretty good fever one Thursday afternoon.  I took her to the doctors where they thankfully said she did not have the flu.  They said it was probably a virus.  She continued to have a fever off and on through Saturday.  On Sunday we noticed little bumps on her torso.  I didn’t think much of them until the next day when there seemed to be even more.  I finally took her in and they diagnosed her with Roseola.  Her rash was all over her stomach, back and neck area.  They said her Roseola rash wasn’t itchy or contagious at that point, but I still felt bad for her. 

Sleeping – Hailey continues to perplex us in the sleep department.  For one week, she decided to have a wake up time of about 5am.  Justin & I were zombies!  She then went to sleeping rather well but waking up once a night and then she went back to waking up two times a night!  We can’t figure this kid out!

Eating – Hailey is hit or miss on many foods.  She seems to go through spurts of really liking something one week (corn/oranges) to not wanting anything to do with it the next.  By the end of February, we completely dropped all daytime bottles at daycare.  It seems to be throwing her for a tiny loop.  She is usually really hungry by the time we get home from daycare!

Clothing – she is wearing all 18 months clothes, the 12 month clothes just don’t cut it!

Loves – Hailey is loving yogurt right now!  She loves bath time, cuddling with her sister, trying to stand & walk on her own and being mischievous!  She’ll grab something that she knows she shouldn’t have a crawl at warp speed away from you.  I think she understands way more then we give her credit for!

Hates – changing her diaper is impossible!  She freaks out lately as soon as you lay her down.  She hates to get pulled from the bath tub too.  She screams and cries as soon as you attempt to grab her.  She also gets very upset when I put her in the car seat.  She has been super fun!
