2 Months Old

Haley went to the doctor yesterday for her two month checkup and she's doing great! She weighs 7 lbs 13 ounces and is 21 1/4 inches long (6 lbs 4 oz and 19 1/2 in at 1 month old). Her weight is in less than the third percentile but she's following a good growth curve so the doctor isn't worried. Haley had some tummy time on the examination table and was able to get her legs, buns and head all off the ground at the same time! We now have to be very careful about where we lay her down because she is strong enough to roll herself over (which she's already done once at Grammie's house). After her regular checkup, it was the hard part...her first set of vaccinations :( She got one orally and did ok and then got two shots in one leg and one in the other leg. She cried during the shots but did great & recovered pretty quickly. However, she's been fighting a fever of 100 all night long :( You can tell that she doesn't feel good but the Tylenol has helped her sleep a lot. Hopefully the fever will be gone soon! I can't believe she's already two months old!

Haley's new friend Raimey

My friend Nicole came to visit (from Washington) with her baby girl Raimey today. Raimey was born on December 30th so she's just two months older than Haley. It was very fun catching up and sharing our baby stories :) A very proud Grandma, Debbie...
Another very proud Grandma, Nancy...
So adorable is her striped Baby Gap dress from Grammie :)

Meeting Great Grandma Basher

Great Grandma Basher came from Delta, CO to visit & meet Haley. She was very content just holding her and watching all of the facial expressions she makes :) Haley's Great Aunt Diane and cousins Justin & Kyle also came to visit from Paonia, CO.


Jeff said that we were going to take Kyle home with us because the minute he held Haley she fell fast asleep!

The latest update with Haley is that she is really starting to look at us and smile (rather than just when she is falling asleep). She's growing up so fast!

Sitting!

Haley loves her new Bebe Pod seat. She can hold her head straight up and just sit there making faces at us for about a minute. She's growing so much!

7 Weeks old

Haley crossing her arms :) Just hanging out, sitting on the couch...
What a good sport - Hemi got hit right in the face after I took the picture and he just walked away. They are about the same size!
Pointing at something...could be anything, the wall, Hemi, air... :)

Happy birthday Grandma (GG)!

We had a birthday party for my Grandma Byrne last weekend, She got a digital camera...I'll bet she becomes picture crazy (oh wait, she already was!) :)

One Month Professional Pictures

These pictures were taken when Haley was one month old. She slept through almost all of them! Here's our little angel... Family photo...

Haley's New Bouncer

New Mom's Luncheon

Yesterday Haley and I attended a New Mom's luncheon at the hospital. There were about 15 new mom's and their babies - they were all so adorable! Haley was hungry right when we arrived so I fed her a bottle while everyone ate salads. During that time we went around the room introducing ourselves & our babies, gave birth stats (weight, date, etc), and told our delivery stories. Haley was the baby of all the babies in size :) Most of the babies were older than Haley too because everyone invited delivered in February, most at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately, Haley was not too happy through the lunch - she only was not fussy when I held her against my chest and patted her back...not easy to eat this way. So, toward the end, I asked the nurse running the lunch if she'd hold Haley while I finished eating and, of course, Haley went to sleep the minute she held her! It was great seeing other new mom's and hearing the questions they asked. A few of us agreed to set up some play dates because we each had little girls & live somewhat close to each other. There is also a mom's support group that meets once a month on Wednesday's so I'm going to start attending those. It was a good day :)

Back at work : (

Today is my first day back at work and it is tough. Luckily Jeff has e-mailed me pictures of Haley and I got to hear her over the phone :) Only one & a half more days and then I have a day off with Haley!

Fun with the Ehresman's & Seastone's

This is Haley's new friend Cole Seastone. He was born the day before Haley but they are quite different in size (and hair!) Cole is 9-10 pounds now and Haley is about 7. They are both 6 weeks old, well Haley will be tomorrow...

Shandy & I were preggo together :)
They both love to have their arms flying about...
So cute holding hands! Check out Cole's mohawk :)

5 Weeks Old

Such a cute face! She had quite the hold of her blanket... Sucking her tiny thumb...
She is size newborn now and almost size 0 to 3 months :)

Great Grandma & Cousins

G.G. feeding Haley a bottle... My cousins Jeff & Tanya in town from Grand Junction. Haley was instantly in love with Jeff and wouldn't take her eyes off of him :)
My cousin Kelley and her fiance John came to visit us in the hospital...Haley looks so tiny!
