A Sign of Things to Come?

January 15th, 2012 Melanie Posted in Hailey, The Things She Says No Comments »

If you know Hailey then you know that she is usually up for a good argument.

She gets this from Rich as he will actually pretend to disagree with people just for the sake of an argument.  Me, on the other hand- I will pretend to agree with people just to avoid an argument!

So anyways, lately Hailey has been especially argumentative and has been arguing with almost everything I say to her.  I was talking to her about it the other day and I told her it needed to stop.  I told her if she disagreed with what I said and wanted to argue with me that she should just not say anything. She responded by saying, “But mom, then how will I ever be able to say anything?”

The teenage years with her should be fun.

Snowy Day Fun

January 15th, 2012 Melanie Posted in Hailey No Comments »

Normally by this time of year we have had a few big snow storms, some snow days and definitely more snow that we’ve seen this year.  So on Thursday night Hailey prayed that it would snow so she could go outside and make some snow angels.  On Friday morning she woke up to see snow on the ground :-)  After school Grandma and Pa were here and Pa took Hailey out to play in the snow.  She loved it!  We got a little bit more snow and on Saturday Rich took her out to play in the snow and I was able to get a few pictures of her having fun in the snow:

Later on that night Hailey and I tried out the donut maker I got for Christmas:

Mixing up some chocolate donuts.

Giving them a big thumbs up!

3 Weeks Old

January 8th, 2012 Melanie Posted in Hailey, Hunter, Monthly Updates 1 Comment »

I can’t believe it’s already been 3 weeks since Hunter was born.  Once he turns 1 month I’ll probably just do monthly updates, unless of course there is something big to report.

Hunter is not a big fan of tummy time.  I’m pretty sure he’s giving me the evil eye for making him do it.

Little feet :-)

Hailey is so good with Hunter.  She is the best big sister!  She wants to play with him everyday.  She shows him his toys and reads books to him.  I love watching her with Hunter.

A little kiss for her baby brother.

3 weeks old… he’s already changed so much!!

The other day I left Hunter in his crib watching his mobile while I went to wash my hands after changing his diaper.  He didn’t have his pacifier when I left the room (it was next to him in his crib), but when I came back it was in his hand and he was pushing it on his face like he was trying to get it in his mouth.

Hunter has started “talking” to us.  He says “goo” and “ahh.”  I love the sound of his little voice!

Hunter tried his first bottle at 3 weeks, 1 day.  He did great!  He drank it right up.  Hailey loved feeding him!!  She keeps telling me that I need to make him another bottle and then go on a date with Rich so she can feed him while we’re gone.

Hunter has already started turning sideways in his crib.  I don’t know how he does it!  But I had to take the front bumper off of his bed so his face doesn’t end up against the bumper.  We also had to stop letting him sleep in the cradle because he moves around and was making the cradle rock and then making it swing and he was ending up laying up against the side of it.  He does seem to sleep better in his crib… or maybe I just don’t hear every little sound he makes since he’s in his own room now.
