Rollie Pollie

Well you have all seen the video of Hailey rolling to her tummy, but she has now mastered the art of rolling from back to tummy and again to her back. She thinks it is so much fun and will roll from one side of the room to the other now! I finally got the camera ready for when she did it and got her this morning before she ate...

Hailey in the Jumperoo

We decided to put the Jumperoo together for Hailey. She loves standing up in your lap and rarely wants to just sit there, so we knew she would love it. Soon as we put her in it you could tell she was excited and was very interested in it. I am also very excited because now I can sit her in it in the kitchen and cook dinner without having to occupy her! She is growing up so quickly (I know, I know, I say it all the time!) but we love watching her try all her new things... She hasn't got the hang of it all the way, but she does pretty good it in :)

Hailey's funny way to amuse herself

So you can all make fun of me as you watch the video because I am doing it with her, but it is too funny and I just had to get it on tape. Enjoy :)

What's New

We have been busy again lately. September has been really busy for us. 3 out of the 4 weekends we were gone. We just got back from Pigeon Forge last weekend and then went to the Chili cook off this weekend at Stone Mountain. I racked up on some clothes when I was in PF. Mommy spread out all of my clothes onto two queen size beds and it filled up both of them!!! I have all my clothes for next summer and will be very stylish :) She was so excited that she could barely stand herself.. everything was a $1.99! Of course I slept through the whole experience, but I am sure she had it under control.
I have gotten better at rolling onto my tummy and pretty much sleep that way for every nap, it just feels better. I am almost 4 months now and will be going for my check up and shots :( on October 8. Well off to a Sunday of relaxing.

Hailey's on a roll :)

Well I know it has been a while since I have posted anything, but we have def. been busy. We just got back from out of town, our annual Pigeon Forge trip for the big car show. Right before we left, Hailey started getting the sniffles, so I brought her in just in case with going out of town. Everything was ok, but she did have some congestion. Of course they don't really do much with her being so young, so they adviced me on a nassle spray and she is all better now. The good thing is they weighed her and she was 13.085lbs. She is a growing girl and now in the 70% for her age.

I will try and get some new pics up of Hailey, but here is a video of one of her new tricks! She gave us quite a scare the first time she did it because I didnt know that she could and looked at the video monitor in the middle of the night, and SHE WASNT THERE!! Ahhh... it def. shook us up and we went running to her room and there she was, sound alseep. Enjoy :)
**for some reason the sound is not there, so here is the commentary... I am saying this is here new trick and about 40 seconds in she does it. I then go up to the video monitor and say how we know she has done it when she is no longer in the picture. I then walk around and let the little burger say a little something to the camera! this has become a bedtime routine of having to go in and roll her back over.. and sometimes prop a bear in front of her to stop the rolling. haha**

Labor Day

Labor Day

Another holiday down in the books for Hailey. We were busy busy this weekend. Saturday morning we headed out earlier than any person should ever have to on a Saturday, 7am! We headed out for Dillard to hang out with Dustin's family and friends of the family. It felt great up there and was a preview of the fall weather to come. Unfort, with good weather, there was bad football. Thats right, my GA bulldawgs disappointed me on Saturday with a lose to Ok. State. They did it all to themselves and could have won the game if they would have played the whole game like the first quarter! But we aren't getting in to that whole story here :)

Sunday we decided to chill out the whole day and nap. Monday was a big day. We were at the pool all day and Hailey got in the pool for her first time. Well, in the big hot tub actually. She loved it. I think that she thought it was a really big bath because she slept like a champ afterwards! Mom got some great pictures of her. She has been doing great lately. Given us a little problem with not wanting to eat her bottle and talk and play instead. But we love to talk and play too, so it isn't that terrible. We haven't been back to the doctor since her 2 mo check up, but she is def. growing like a weed and getting heavier and heavier everyday!

We are headed to the Yellow Daisy Festival tomorrow and I can barely stand it! I am going to have to control myself from all of the cute stuff :)

3 Months

3 Months

Hailey has turned 3 months today!! Wow.. I can't believe that I am saying that. Not to be the typical parent, but I really do feel like we just brought her home. She has been so much fun lately. Laughing and just being a ham ball. She has just started a new thing with her eating. She gets about 1 oz. down and then thinks it is time to play and talk. So we have to sit there and have a little conversation with her, give a couple of smiles, and then back to eating. The 1 more oz and repeat step one! haha. It brings a smile to your face, but also takes a while. Sometimes up to an hour, which we usually don't have, but of course, she's the boss.

I got a great video of her yesterday just chatting away with herself in the mirror. She loves to lay on her play yard and gab away in the mirror and lets out a couple of laughs every once in a while. I have had some trouble uploading video, but I am going to try a different route, so hopefully I can get it up on the site. It is amazing how in one month they can change so much. She def. knows who mommy and daddy are, and is now getting familiarized with the grands. She will give a big smile to GG and Granny Anny, and of course it just melts them :)She is also very aware of when you are in the room and not in the room. I have to be very sneaky when she is napping and loses the paci. I have to duck down, walk up to the crib, feel around for the paci, then give it back to her. If I look over the crib, she is sure to spot me and then starts laughing! Sometimes I let her see me cause it is just hilarious.

The dogs are great with her now and know that she is here to stay. Angel is her protector and dozi gives her baths ;) lol They love to lay right beside her play mat when she is on it. Every once in a while she will get to playing so hard that she kicks or punches them. They look are her like 'what was that for'. Either that or start licking her foot or hand. We are having so much fun being parents and can't wait for all the milestones to come (well we won't rush things of course!)
