4 Months

Our little angel is already 4 months old! 

Where has the time gone?!?  She is doing new things everyday and it is so much fun!  We are falling more in love with her (if that is possible) with every squeal she makes! She is laughing, talking up a storm and squealing all of the time these days!  It is adorable!  She started rolling from her back to her belly about two weeks ago. When she started doing this, we decided it was time to stop swaddling her at night...and it has been rough.  She went from sleeping 10-12 hours to waking up every hour or so.  We went to her 4 month appointment today and the doctor said to let her cry it out.  OOOOO so hard!  We are going to work on it though.  To say that the child is spoiled is an understatement!  She will only nap when Mark or I am holding her.  We are going to work on that too! 

I am still breastfeeding (only by the grace of God because she really puts up a fight), so I am not sure how much she is getting at each feeding.  She is definately gaining weight!  The doctor told me today that we need to start her on rice cereal...which is exciting and sad.  My baby is growing up! 

Her stats this month:
Length:  23.75 inches~25%
Weight: 12 lbs, 8 oz ~ 15%
Head: 15.5 in~ 25%

As mentioned earlier, she is doing more tricks everyday.  She plays with toys now, and we even got her a jumper thing that she really enjoys!

We have to prop her up a bit, but she enjoys it nonetheless.  She has also found her feet. 

She is still wearing size 1 diapers, and size 3 month clothes.

We have had a very busy month! 
We celebrated our first mother's day.  Daddy and Haisley made me a card that I will treasure always!

And we had a 4 month photo shoot

3 Months

I realize that every time I add a post, I mention that the time is flying by...but it really is.  I cannot believe that we have a 3 month old!  She is doing more every single day.  Even in the last week, she has been smiling so much more.  She has been making gurgling noises that are just adorable!  She continues to roll over from her stomach to her back, but is not rolling the other way.  She is batting at toys that are in front of her.  She loves lights, any light, even the lights in the car!  She is wearing mostly three month outfits these days.  We don't have a doctor's appointment this month, but I go to a breastfeeding thing at the hospital for a weekly weigh-in and today she weighed 10 lbs, 14 oz. 

This month, Haisley has....

Presley Is Here and Easter

Sweet Presley has arrived!!!

We also celebrated  Easter this past Sunday.  It was Haisley's first Easter, and she even got her first Easter basket.  I told her that we celebrated Easter because Jesus died, but he rose again!  I'm pretty sure that she understood because she certainly smiled a lot!  After we went to church, we stopped by Presley's house for a quick visit, and then off to the farm we went to visit Nana and Granddaddy.  Haisley got a teething toy, a rattle, several books, two outfits and money! 

Here is little bit with her Easter basket from the Easter bunny.

Presley is really excited that we came by for a visit!

Haisley with her gift from JJ.



My child cries quit often. 

Sweet cousins.

After we left Presley's house, we headed to the farm to visit with Nana, Granddaddy, Brad, and Meredith.

We had a great Easter and are so thankful to our Savior who is the reason we celebrate!

My Baby is 2 Months!!!

Little Haisley Grace is 2 months old...the time is flying by! 

She is doing all sorts of new things every day! She is starting to smile a good bit, coo and "talk" to us, and she rolled over for the first time at 6 weeks, but isn't doinig it consistantly.  Haisley can still wear newborn clothes except for sleepers.  We had her 2 month check up last week, the one with a lot of shots...she cried, I cried, everybody cried.  It was terrible to see my baby hurt, but I know its best for her! The sleeping is getting much better!  She goes to sleep between 7-8, and sleeps until 6-8 with only one feeding in between.  She continues to bring such joy into our lives and we are so blessed that she is in our family! 

Her stats at her two month appointment:

Weight=9 lbs, 15 oz     15%

Length=20.5 in      15%

Head=14 in       15%

This month Haisley has:

Cuddled with mommy and daddy

Gone to church-and slept the whole way through

We have gone shopping with Nana

And have had lots of tummy time, even though I dont like it!

This month we also welcomed baby Presley into our family!  We have been praying for sweet Presley since we found out about him.  He was born last night (March 30) at 11:58 pm.  He weighs 7 lbs and is 20.5 inches long.  God is so good!  More pictures to come of that sweet baby boy!

One Month Stats

My sweet baby girl is growing like a weed and keeping me and daddy very busy!  I haven't had time to post her one month stats since she went to the doctor, so here we go!
Weight:  8 lbs 1 oz  (She might actually weigh less because she pooped about four times in the doctor's office after we weighed her)  She is in the 15% for her weight.
Length:  20 3/4 inches, 25 %
Head Circumference:  13.6 inches, 5 %
I am still nursing her during the day, but give her bottles at night so daddy can help!  She is really starting to follow things with her eyes now and even started cooing and smiling a little!  I mentioned that we were going to be switching to size 1 diapers, but she blew out three size 1s so we decided we should stick with the newborns for a bit longer!  She is not the best sleeper, but I try to remind myself that she will be out of this stage so quick and to just enjoy it!  Most of her newborn clothes are too small lengthwise.  I am amazed at how quickly she is growing and doing new things every day!  We are so blessed to have this precious baby girl. 

In other news...Amanda is having her precious baby boy in about three weeks.  She is miserable but excited!  We can't wait for baby Presley's arrival!
