1/2 Year
1/2 Year
How in the world is my baby girl half a year old?!?
Mark and I were talking earlier how much she has changed in just a few weeks! Just in the last month, her personality has come out so much! She is smiling and laughing all the time, playing with toys, and sitting up really good.
She is still breastfeeding....I realize I said that she would be weaned by six months-it didn't happen. We have tried green beans, peas, squash, oatmeal, rice, and bananas. She doesn't love solids, but we're going to keep trying. We are also working on eating four times a day rather than every three hours.
She is sitting up for longer periods of time, loves peek-a-boo, is going from sitting up to her tummy, she is starting to lunge forward, still loves standing up, and adores her jumparoo thing.
She is talking so much more in the last week or so. It is truly the sweetest sound ever!
She is reading in Spanish and English now....just kidding, but she does love when we read to her. She is still in size two diapers. She is still in some size three month clothes, some six months. I'm not going to lie, the first four months of this child's life were rough. She cried ALL of the time! I think she might have had colic. We are so blessed that only cries now when she is tired. She goes to sleep around eight every night and gets up between 4-6 am. She will usually go back to sleep until 8 or so as long as she eats. She will nap in her crib for about thirty minutes, but still prefers sleeping with her mommy.
We took her for her 6 month doctor's appointment and she had to get 4 shots. We survived, but it was rough! Her stats:
Weight: 15 lbs, 3 oz--50%
Height: 25.5 in--50%
Head Cir.: 16 in--15%
Here are a few random pictures

Dedication
Haisley was dedicated a couple of weeks ago at church, and I am just now putting pictures up! Haisley looked like an angel (can I say that about my own child?!?)! We had fun visiting with friends and family and we are grateful for the many prayers as we attempt to raise our little girl to love Jesus!
One of the few pictures we have with the three of us!
The whole family
Sweet Presley did not want to miss out on the cousin's dedication!

5 Months
Our little toot is 5 months!!!
Speaking of little toots, she doesn't know her name yet, or either she just choses to ignore me. She turns when someone else says her name, but I don't know if she actually knows it or is just turning to the sound of a new voice. It wouldn't shock me if she didn't know it because I call her pet names all the time. Her little personality is coming out more everyday and it is so much fun! For the child to not be able to crawl, I certainly feel like she is on the move a lot. She loves to play in her bouncy thing and on the floor. Above all else, she likes to be held and try to squirm out of your hands. She is rotten!! She is talking a lot more in the last week! We have been expecting a tooth to pop up any day now, but nothing yet. She is drooling, not sleeping, and nawing on everything! She wants to stand up all of the time, and we are still practicing sitting up! I am guessing that she weighs about 14 lbs. As mentioned earlier, the sleeping has gone down hill in the last few weeks. She wakes several times during the night...we're hoping it's just a phase. She is letting other people hold her now, which gives momma a break. She is taking most naps in her crib these days thanks to Debra Roberts!! What an angel?!? She came over one afternoon when I was at my wits end and put her down for a nap in that crib and she just went to sleep like it was no big deal! She is eating about every 3.5 hours. I plan on breastfeeding her through her 6 month birthday then weaning her. I have enough breast milk saved for the remainder of her first year. We just started her in size 2 diapers, ones still fit, but we ran out and have a lot of 2's so we made the switch! She is still in 3 month smocked clothes and 3-6 month Carter's clothes.
We started oatmeal when she turned four months...she didn't (and doesn't) love it. We tried green beans last night and a I think she likes that more than oatmeal.
We also took a picture of her sweet little legs after her 4 month shots
We didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked to this month, but here are the few that we did take...
This is little Haisley Grace, playing in the pool while her granddaddy holds an umbrella over her so she doesn't get too much sun...spoiled.

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!
Haisley played with her toys
We went to the pool
The girl loves the water!
We cuddled
We read some books
And we had a 4 month photo shoot
