We Survived!

We have survived our first set of shots and I have to say that it was not a good time. Hailey did wonderful at the doctors office on the 19th of July and was just smiling at the nurse and physician until she received all three shots. From that point on, we knew it was going to be a rough couple of days. Overall, she did very well, but we had a couple of days of her running a fever, really fussy and had a hard time sleeping at night. I felt so bad for her and I was probably more nervous about the appointment than she was seeing how she had no idea what she was in for. Thankfully we don't have to go back for another two months! Her measurements this appointment were: she is weighting 9lbs 13ounces and she is 22 3/4 inches long. She has gained some weight, but her length has slowed a little. Which is good because right now she is still wearing newborn pants and shorts, but her onesies are 0-3months since she is so long. But she is still looking cutier than ever!

Hailey's newest activities include playing on her playmate and kicking the little beach ball. I have a feeling we might have a soccer player on our hands because one of the first times she was playing on the mate, she was getting upset because the ball was going side to side and so she put both feet up there and trapped the ball. She actually held her legs off the ground and trapped the ball for a good minute. Then she started to kick it again and just laughed. She is really getting into books and she loves to read with mommy. Even though she stares at me while I am reading the book to her, she will occasionally look at the pages. We took our first walk with her brother Z outside in the Baby Bjorn, and she left the house awake, but came back asleep. It was nice to know she will like walking in the Bjorn and that way we know it will make our trip a lot easier on us. As you can see in one of the pictures her brother is making sure she is being watched over as he loves to lay right by her playmate and watch her. He is still jealous, but does love his sister.

We are in the process of getting ready for a family trip to Hilton Head Island and we are leaving on the 4th of August...we all are so excited and ready to be out in the sun and walking the beach. We truly have a wonderful time when we get a chance to go and we are so excited to take Hailey on her first vacation. Hopefully she will do well on the plane and will have a good time with her family. We will be sure to send pictures and put up new posts while we are away.

We hope everyone is doing well and we look forward to time spent together. Have a wonderful day and God bless you all!

Love,
The Andersons
