5 months old!

Hailey is 5 months old today! It feels like the months are flying by!


Hailey weighs around 15 pounds and is wearing 6 month clothes. She generally eats about every 3- 3 1/2 hours. We have begun introducing baby food and so far is she loves it! She has tried applesauce, bananas and sweet potatoes. At first, we were mixing it into her rice cereal but once she got a taste of the real stuff, she likes to eat it plain. Just this week, she has started eating some in the mornings and evenings. Such a big girl!

Hailey also has taken a few bottles! Yay! Ryan's mom was here a few weeks ago and was able to get her to take a few ounces while Ryan and I were at a church event. Then a few times this week, Ryan has been able to get her to take one. 

She survived her first illness this month. She had a cold, and then gave it to Ryan and I. It was a rough few days and nights, but we're finally all better.

Hailey still isn't a great napper. But we are at least on somewhat of a schedule with it. She generally goes to bed around 8:00 or 8:30 at night and sleeps until 5 or so in the mornings. After that she takes a 30 minute nap every 2 hours. You can time the naps, because it's like an alarm clock wakes her up after exactly 30 minutes! She doesn't want to miss a thing!



Hailey loves to play under her play gym, and last week discovered the tags on it. Now we can't get her to play with anything else on it! She is so close to sitting up by herself. She can sit up in between our legs or in the boppy pillow quite well. She can balance by herself for a few seconds, but then falls to the side or foward, so she still needs the extra support.



She finally rolled from her tummy to her back this week! She's been rolling the other way since 2 1/2 months, but never even tried to roll back. She did it a few times one day and hasn't done it since...stinker!

These pictures are totally Hailey's personality right now...going a mile a minute, never wanting to sit still! She loves to smile at people and her giggles are so precious! She is ticklish under her arms and the sides of her neck. The kissy sound always gets a smile or laugh too. She still loves to be sung to and loves to hear her name.

everything goes in the mouth!

We love you Hailey Grace! Can't wait to see what you get into next month!
