Are you kidding me?

I do believe Kevin and I were just officially initiated into the new
parent's club. Warning! If you are easily disgusted, stop reading here!
But despite the grossness it is hilarious. I'm sure all you seasoned
moms out there will get a huge kick out of this!


So here's what happened...Sorry its a little lengthy................

We finally got Hailey a jumperoo and she was so happy to play
with it tonight. She can't hardly touch the ground, so we had to put
a couple books underneath it. She was jumping away, the dog was
running around, and I was playing on the computer.

All of a sudden I realized that Oliver was under the jumperoo and he was licking something on the book that Hailey was jumping on. Kevin said, oh I think she spit up all over herself and it ran down onto the book. As I get closer I realize, that's not spitup, but poop! Her diaper had shifted while she was jumping and needless to say, there was a major accident. She was dancing in poop!

I was so disgusted, then I started laughing hysterically. I mean the look on our faces was priceless! So there we are with a messy baby trying to figure out what to do next... We finally got her stripped down and into the tub, and what does she do? She tinkles in her bath water!

I just couldn't believe this was happening, then I realize that this is just the beginning of many a years of cleaning up messes. A year ago I would have been totally grossed out and tossed my cookies in the floor, oh my how a baby changes things so quickly. Welcome to parenthood!

Weekend Fun

With all the rain these past several weeks, we were really looking forward to getting out of the house this weekend for a family outing. I was so disappointed to hear we were in store for yet more rain!!! However, we did find some breaks in the weather to fit in some family fun.

Friday evening was beautiful, so Hailey and I sat on the back porch while Kevin did yard work. I don't know which was funnier, watching Ollie chase the lawn mower or watching Hailey watching Ollie chase the mower! She has taken such an interest in him and so far he doesn't seem to mind.

We decided to take a shopping trip on Saturday afternoon. We had alot of fun choosing Hailey's summer wardrobe. She had fun too trying on sunglasses and hats. We must have put ten different pair on her and she didn't seem to mind a bit. She was so good while we were out, but didn't really like sitting in her stroller so long. Of course, why ride when Daddy will carry you?
























I'm gonna have to start working out if I'm going to be carrying her around all the time, she is getting heavy already. We went to her 4 month checkup last week and she weighed 14lbs 7oz and was 25 1/2 inches long. She is taller than 90% of babies her age! Imagine that, I don't think she really had a chance of being petite!

Waiting for Dr. Chris

She had fun crinkling the paper on the table

Finally an update!

It's been almost two months since I've sat down to get this thing updated. It's unbelievable how much busier our lives are now. I can't believe that I used to actually get irritated cause I was bored and there was nothing to do, now we rarely sit down until bedtime. I recently changed jobs and will be getting home earlier, so that should help alot.

Hailey keeps us so busy- she's getting at that stage where she likes to be entertained all the time and its so much fun! She babbles alot and laughs occasionally. I'm still waiting for the all out baby cackle. Its fun to interact with her cause you can just see the wheels turning in her head, she's trying so hard to figure everything out. She also turned from back to belly last night while she was sleeping. We better watch out! Now that she has the whole roll over thing down, I have a feeling she's gonna be rolling all over the house soon.

Other Hailey tidbits:

--She now can support herself on her elbows while she plays and looks around. It's fun watching her discover new things.

--She's recently taken a liking to our dog Oliver. It's like she's never really noticed him until now, but she loves to watch him chase the ball - gotta know where that dog is at all times.

--She loves her big girl tub! I put her in her big plastic tub last week and she had the best time splashing and trying to swim. I really need to buy a baby pool this summer.

--Her favorite toy right now is her "lovey" blanket. She carries it back and forth to daycare everyday and loves to play peek a boo with it.

--We do alot of singing. Her favorites are the ABC's and Old McDonald (Yes, I know I sound like an idiot and my singing is terrible, but whatever it takes to see her smile)

--I'm beginning to think she is going to be a morning person. She's always bright eyed and ready to go! Too bad Kevin and I aren't that way.

Monday is her 4 month checkup and more shots. She's grown so much, I'm curious to see how much she weighs now. And of course here's a few pics....
