16 Months

 My sweet angel baby is 16 months and our precious baby boy will be here in just a few short months.  We've had a busy month!  Haisley is talking up a storm these days.  It is the sweetest little voice I've ever heard.  She has even started saying "Love you."  (talking about something that melts my heart!!))  She still eats a good bit, but I can tell she is getting a little bit more picky.  She is also still sleeping good, about 11 hours a night and 1 nap a day.  She is a momma's girl, and I LOVE it!  Daddy has been away quite a bit lately for work, so we've had some girlie time together. 
Daddy was out of town on Mother's day this year.  I gave Haisley her first pedicure, and we even bought some hot pink sparkling shoes.  Can't beat that...

 

 

I feel like I laugh at Haisley all the time.  She has the cutest little personality, and I think she knows it!  

 

 

 

Haisley has really started enjoying playing with baby dolls lately.  She gives them her paci, feeds them, reads to them, burps the, and wraps them in blankets.  She loves when I do all of that to her baby dolls too!  Reading has taken a backseat to playing these days.  I wish she was interested in reading like she used to be but she is just so interested in what is going on around her!  She is such a doll baby and we feel so blessed that she's ours!!

Haisley's 16 month birthday happen to fall on Memorial day weekend.  We had a great weekend playing with family.  We went to the lake, and Haisley loved playing in the water!

It's a ....

BOY!!  We went for our big ultrasound today, and found out that we are having a BOY.  We couldn't be more excited!  More importantly, we are thankful for a healthy baby.  Everything measured perfectly and all organs are accounted for!  The baby's heartrate was 155 and was estimated to weigh 10 oz.  I had an anterior placenta with Haisley, so I couldn't feel her move until I was about 22 weeks.  This time the placenta is not in the front, and I have been feeling flutters for about a week now.  I love it!  It is so reassuring to feel him move around.
When we found out that Haisley was a baby girl, we had a big production and cut a cake to reveal a pink center.  This time, we wanted to do something special but low key.  Mark and I decided that we would have the ultrasound tech write the gender down and put it in an envelope.  Just the two of us went to dinner and opened the envelope.  It was special for us, but the suspense between the ultrasound and dinner was killing us!!  We feel so blessed and thankful for this little life!

15 Month Stats

Today my sweet baby had to go to the doctor for her 15 month check up.  She was such a big girl!  She had to get two shots and stopped crying before we left....that's progress!  These are percentages I looked up online.
Weight:  19 lbs (about 10%)
Height:  29.5 inches (about 15%)
Head Circumference:  17.5 inches

There are a few things I want to write down so that I'll remember.  One day Mark was trying to read to Haisley while I took a shower, and it wasn't long before I heard her little feet running to the bathroom.  I opened the shower curtain and she was standing there holding a book saying, "Read, Momma, Readdddd."  I mean, I basically thought it was the most precious thing ever.  She is also saying "Thank you" now without having to be reminded.  Not all the time, but more than she used to.  Whenever I spill Hutch's dog food on the floor, she is the best helper and carefully will pick each piece up and put it back in his bowl.  She is more interested in baby dolls these days too!  I realize that I have already done a 15 month post, but I couldn't resist writing what my baby girl has been doing lately.  We basically love our sweet baby girl more than life!
