Haylee-6 months

Today, was Haylee's 6 month well-check and I'm happy to report that she continues to be right on track! Hard to believe that half a year has passed since your birth! Mommy is enjoying each moment but also praying that these next six months creep by a little slower! 

You are:
-17lbs and 15oz (75%)
-26 inches long (60%)
-wearing 6/9 month clothes
-sleeps on your tummy and can sleep all night, sometimes going to bed at 830 and waking at 6
-nursing every 3 hours during day and about to start our 3rd actual meal.
-a good eater
-having issues with constipation so for now, we are having to do prunes everyday, along with apple juice/prune juice mix in a bottle
-rolls from tummy to back, only. On your back, you prefer to play with your toes. Dr. Smith says you'll be sitting up soon.
-starting to figure out and enjoy your exersaucer.
-you have discovered you can make fun squeals with your voice and often, we find you in bed cooing and talking.
-your hair is starting to grow back and I'm excited that it may be brown like Brooklyn's!










Brooklyn's Dance Show-Off

This week, we had a chance to join Brooklyn in the dance studio for an up-close look at all she's been learning. All the dancers had lots of eyes watching them and I was unsure of how Brooklyn would do. There was a moment, at the beginning, where she acted a little shy but I'm pleased to say that she quickly got over it! She joined right in and appeared to have a good time! I was so proud of her!

Shooting

My dad and brothers have tried to teach me how to shoot my whole life! I've attempted multiple times, but being right-handed) I could never close the necessary eye in order to look down the scope. Finally, my dad said to just try left-handed, close my right eye and look down the scope with my left eye......which appears to be dominant. Ha...who knew?! It actually worked! Even though, I'm still not left-handed, I now know that that's how I need to shoot! It was a fun learning experience!




Black Eye

This past week, I got a phone call from the school nurse. Maddie (my go-getter!) had an accident in PE while playing soccer. As a result, she now has a nice black eye! She's a tough girl though and didn't even cry!
