Army Crawling

Hailey is starting to army crawl now - here is some proof!

Hannah is swinging a toy and Hailey thinks it's hilarious. Too cute!

Big Events All Around

Since all these things happened today, I'm including them all!

Hailey finally had her 6 month appointment today. She was 28.5 inches and 19lbs 1oz. For those of you who love percentiles, that's off the charts for height and 90th percentile for weight. We discussed the fact that she is extremely close to crawling (ack!) and I was given the new recommendations that have changed since Hannah was a baby (man they can't make up their mind). The doctor was impressed with the way Hailey balances while sitting, thought the flat spot on her head was improving, and gave us some suggestions for food, sleeping, and dry skin. She thinks that Hailey will keep her blue eyes and believes that the one spot of brown is like a freckle on her iris. I still think they may go more hazel but time will tell!

Hannah got her first report card today. Since it's preschool, they don't assign letter grades, they just mark A for Always, S for Sometimes, or N for Not Yet. They have the following categories: Spiritual Development, Intellectual Development, Motor Development, Social Development, and Emotional Development. She got all As in Intellectual Development; mostly As and some Ss in Spiritual Development, Social Development, and Emotional Development; a mixture of As, Ss, and Ns in Motor Development. She is doing very well and her teacher wrote "Hannah is a pleasure to have in class! She is a very caring young girl!" We are so proud!


The final big thing is today is my 30th birthday. For all the joking I've done about being upset I'm 30, I'm really not. I like where I am and I like who I am. For those of you who know me, you may realize that I'm not a big planner. I set lots of short term goals but long term? Forget it. I never make New Year's resolutions. When people have asked "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" the honest answer is that I don't think that far ahead. However, I have always thought I would like to be married with a few kids and a house by 30. It's everything I hoped it would be. Many people say you have fun in your 20s but feel more settled in your 30s. I have been feeling more settled in the last few years - happy with myself, happy with where I am, and happy with how things are going. I look forward to this continuing. Welcome 30!

Okay just because who doesn't want to see cute pictures of the girls, I'll leave this post with a picture I snapped the other day. Hope everyone had as great of a day as I did!

Growing, Growing, Growing!

6 Months Old

Last week, Hailey turned 6 months old. It's hard to believe how big she is getting! She now rolls to get everywhere (and she's fast!), scooting backwards, eating baby food, giggling, drinking from a sippy cup, playing with her toys, and mimicking her big sis. Here's our cutie:
