4 Months away from having a two year old. Oh MY!! My baby is growing so quickly! I'm enjoying every stage in a different way!
Haisley Grace has such a big personality. She can go from a happy funny love bug to being a tart in a matter of seconds. She is a strong willed little thing, and will definately let you know when she doesn't like how something is being done. These days she loves helping me cook (while yelling "I taste, I taste"), she loves watching me color, and she loves playing with her doll Emma. Every night before we put her in bed, we have to stand at the window and say night night to all of the animals, then we stop at the picture of her in the hallway and say night night to baby Haisley. For some reason this calms her down. We always pray, and then I tell her I love her and that she is my favorite baby girl. She LOVES this, and sometimes beats me to saying it!
Other updates on the angel:
Eating-She is finally slowing down on the eating. She is much more picky than she was a month ago. Her appetite seems to change daily. Her favorites these days oatmeal (or, oatmilk, as she describes it), cheese, raisins, crackers, pickles, and anything sweet. Mark and I are not picky at all so I am hoping that she outgrows this little phase. All I can do it keep offering healthy choices!
Teeth-We're hoping those eye teeth will come on in. She has fussy days when I know they are bothering her because she bites on her fingers. Other than eye teeth that haven't come in yet, she has 12 total.
Sleeping-Knock on wood, but for the last two weeks she has been taking two hour naps! She is ready to nap by about 11:30 everyday. It does not matter what time she goes to bed, she is going to be up at 5 am. Yelling, "Mommy, mommy." She still doesn't get out of her bed (which we are so thankful for), and Mark usually goes and gets her and brings her in the bed with us. We always have high hopes that she will go back to sleep but she usually doesn't. She usually lays in bed and tells us what she wants to eat for breakfast!
Size-She is still in size three diapers but are about to go up to size 4 diapers. She is mostly in size 12 month clothes. She is in size 4 shoes.
Talking-Haisley Grace basically repeats EVERYTHING that is said. Even if not right away, she will say it later. We are very careful of what we say. She is starting to try to sing, which is just precious! She says "thank you" most of the time without being reminded. She also says "your melcome" (welcome)
Some phrases I want to remember:
"Hot tamale"
"Tammy, Mommy be back"- referring to her teacher saying that her mommy will be back to get her from school
"Mommy do it"
"War Eagle"
"Aubie scare me, he scare me"-she completely is putting on because she knows we'll laugh
She keeps us laughing! Sometimes too much! She sits in timeout at least once a day! She is such a joy! I can't wait to see the sweet baby sister that she is going to be!
The baby has a new found love for pig tails. She says "I look" whenever I put them in her hair and is not satisfied until i let her look in the mirror.
We celebrated Benton's arrival with a baby shower thrown by sweet Aunt Ashley and Bamama. Haisley had a ball!
JJ would describe this look as being a wom bom...the girl loves her owl purse!
