Thighs Like This

When you have thighs like this, it's hard to find (and reach) your toes,...
...but this girl did! And she hasn't "lost" them since.

Part Hoosier

What's she watching?
Basketball, duh! :)

Happy March Madness!

Guess Who...

rolled over!
This girl! :)

Hillbilly Baby

Hailey's Carhart outfit finally fits. Steve thought she looked adorable. I have to agree. Nothing beats a little girl in carharts and boots.

*Please ignore the pink robe. Babies get dressed first in our house.

Just Like Her Daddy

During the week, Hailey visits school often. I like to dress her in the cutest stuff and show her off. Over the weekend, she's mostly in a white onesie, but I also like to dress her in the stuff I know Steve would like.


John Deere socks, overalls, and a camoflauge bow. It doesn't get more "Woodz" than that (I'm not saying he wears bows...or overalls, but you get the point).

Bad Momma

This is how I found Hailey playing one morning. Oops!

I always lay her on her play mat while I start the car in the morning and get everything packed up.

I guess she hit her bow, but she didn't seem to mind.

Silly girl.

$4 Onesies

I am addicted to the $4 onesie display at Target. When I picked this one up, Steve was excited because his grandma (triple G) loves elephants. :)

Jumping for Joy!

Dress Up Day

Hailey hasn't had an occasion to wear her pretty dress, but I wanted her to wear it before she grew out of it. So last Friday I dressed her up to go to the babysitter. It's a good thing because when I got to the sitter she told me they had a meeting for a local fundraiser and were volunteering at my school. Our little philanthropist looked so cute!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Daddy said I look like a fat hippy in my new outfit. I know he said that with a lot of love. :)

I had to include a picture of Hailey watching her "tv". It's the best thing EVER!

Cereal

Hailey's doctor recommended starting solids to help curb Hailey's appetite and help her (and momma) sleep.

Steve got to feed her. He was pretty pumped about it.
She loved it...until it was time to clean up.

Trying to Roll Over

First, she throws those chubby legs into the air.

Then, she tosses them to the side.

And that's about it!

How I (try to) Get Things Done

She's a fan of the Moby wrap now that she can face out. Hopefully this summer I will get a new carrier that will be better for facing out. For now, this works in short spurts.

4 Month Picture Bloopers

I'll spare you the captions I was thinking about and let you just look/laugh at these. The more mobile and opinionated she gets, the more crazy these photo shoots are going to be, I guess.




Sometimes those bloopers do turn out so sweet. :)

4 months (1 week, 1 day...oops)

Age: 4 Months

Weight: 14 pounds 9 ounces

Height: 25 3/4 inches

Size: Size 2 diapers, mostly 3-6 month clothes

Hair: It's still just dark fuzz. Lots of people comment on how round her head is. I think that's just a nice way of saying, "Wow! Your baby is really bald."

Sleeping: Bedtime is between 7:30 and 8 since we cut out her evening nap. She's been just waking up once to eat and sleeping until 6. On weekends, she'll go back to sleep after eating if we're lucky.

Eating: Like a piggy! She's taking 3-5 ounce bottles at the babysitter every 3 hours. We recently started cereal and she loves it. Eating has never been a problem for this girl.

Movement: She's still not rolling over. She picks her legs up, throws them to the side, and then she's done. :) She loves to sit and stand while holding your hands.

Milestones: Sitting and standing (assisted, of course), making more noises

Favorite toys/activities: her play mat, sitting up in her swing, exercises with mom, being carried around (forward facing), chewing and licking everything

Dislikes: When she's sleepy, she wants to be held and walked, but any other time, she's pretty much a happy girl.

Ray of Sunshine!

*Most of Hailey's smiles include her tongue. :)

Hailey's Photo Book

Recently I got a coupon for a free photo book from Shutterfly. While cuddling and nursing a sick baby this week I decided to take advantage of it and make a photo book of Hailey's first 3 months. I thought I would post it on here in case grandparents and great-grandparents want to buy one. :)

80's Girl

We didn't get a picture of the teal faded babylegs that went with this outfit I put together, but she looked totally rad. I'm not sure that she agrees with me though.

Poor Baby

Today is Hailey's first sick day. Sunday she started getting a stuffy nose, watery eyes, and very cranky. After not sleeping at all Monday night, I took her to the babysitter and asked her to call me if she needed me to pick her up or make a doctor's appointment. Being a new mom, I wasn't sure if she needed to go to the doctor or not, but I trusted her babysitter's advice.

We ended up going to the doctor Tueday after work. Hailey either has a nasty cold or the beginnings of a flu that is going around. Luckily her ears checked out fine and she doesn't have a fever, but the doctor suggested that we stay home so she's away from the other kids (who actually have the flu, but we didn't know that at the time).
So, today we're home. I hate that she's sick, but it is nice getting another day with her.
