I can feed myself mommy!

Hailey is turning into such a big girl. She has been doing better and better everyday with eating her food. She has been trying all kinds of new treats and is loving all of them. As you saw from past videos, she is not to fond of the veggies, but we are working on it. In fact, tonight we had peas for dinner. I usually have to mix applesauce with them to get her to eat them, but I just had it ready on standby just in case she wouldn't eat the peas by themselves. I had to coax her the first couple of bites and show her that mommy liked them too! She was loving them by the third or fourth bite and ate the whole thing gone! yay for HB! Can you tell that mommy is excited that she is finally eating well now?!? I usually give her some puffs as a "dessert" because she loves them so much. Tonight I tried letting her feed herself and showing her how to put them in her mouth. After about the fifth try she had it down! We got a video of her putting one in and after each one she would give me a "high five"! She was so proud of herself and it was too cute :)

I don't want to eat my veggies!

Here is a funny video we took of Hailey. It is actually chicken mixed with veggies... which i have to admit smelled terrible! Here is mommy's little trick to get me to eat it :)

I'm getting the hang of this..

Hailey is getting better and better at being able to sit up. Of course she can't just sit there and carry on a conversation with you! However she can hold herself up for a good while. She wobbles a bit and falls every once in a while, but she will sit there and laugh at you. She especially does good when Dozi or Angel are sitting in front of her. She is so fascinated with the girls and focuses all of her attention to them. The whole time that Dozi sat next to me, she was sitting straight up.. that is how I got the good pics! The first one is her laughing at Dozi :)

We are still struggling with our solid foods! Daddy and Mommy were so excited to start solids and just knew that she was ready for it. Hailey will sit there and just stare at your food while you eat. She even licks her lips sometimes.. haha! However when we started her on cereal, she was less than thrilled. She makes the funniest faces and starts blowing bubbles in it! We have tried a couple of different solids, veggies and fruits, and she doesn't like either. So we are going to take a little break for now and just stick with cereal and revisit the solids in a couple of days or weeks. For now we will just enjoy the ease of just doing the bottle!

Hailey's eating solids!!

We went to the doctor last thursday and he gave us the go ahead for solids.. I think that mommy is more excited than Hailey ;) She is now 14.5 oz and almost 24 inches long. She got a great report and the doc couldnt believe she had 2 teeth! I had already gave her cereal a couple of times to see how she would do with it and she doesnt really know what to think. She makes the funniest faces :) We got a video of her last night trying bananas for the first time! It is pretty funny. It will take some getting use to, but I am glad that we are starting the process
