There is so much you should know about her!
Nicknames: Sprout, Sprouty, Baby Girl, McGee (and anything that goes with it...Stinky McGee, Chunky McGee, Cheeks McGee, Fussy McGee, etc.)
Likes: eating, baths, snuggling, rubbing her face on you (?), white noise, bouncing/swinging in our arms
Dislikes: being awake and NOT eating, bottles (but she WILL drink from them), pacifiers (darn it), tummy time
Skills: drinking anything from a dropper, kicking, getting mom and dad to do just about anything to make her happy
We went to her 2 month check up yesterday. She did a pretty good job during the shots, and I LOVED the long nap after them. I expressed my concerns to Dr. Tom about Hailey being a fussy baby. His instructions were as long as she's clean and fed, to let her cry a little more since she's perfectly healthy. That's easier said than done, but I am working on it.
She's a healthy girl!
Weight: 11lbs 8oz (49th percentile)
Height: 23 1/4 inches (65th percentile)
I go back to work in less than 3 weeks so we are really working on getting Hailey ready. She is taking a bottle a day. We are slowly working her up to drinking 3 oz, but right now she's taking 2. By then, she is totally mad at the bottle! We are also still trying to get her to take a pacifier, but it looks like she may be more interested in her hand. Hailey and I are going to hang out at the sitters one day this week and then she'll go on her own for a little bit over the next two weeks to get us ready. I'm a little nervous about getting us both ready in the morning so we're going to have to practice that one, too.
Hailey just got over some pretty serious acne. It lasted a few weeks and got to show it off to everyone during the holidays. Now, it is almost gone and has left behind some dry skin, but it looks so much better.
