Hailey has become much more willful in her 7th month. She’s learning how to express what she wants and what she doesn’t want to do. Crying has changed from a signal that something is wrong, to an indication that she wants something. The upside to this is that nothing makes you feel better in the […]
What a big month for our baby girl! She now sits, crawls (3/30, 6.5 months), and pulls up. This all happened about halfway through the month, right after they occasionally started putting Hailey in the bigger infant room at day care. I think she wanted to be like the bigger babies and get her move […]
Hailey’s first trip to Mundelein finally came in April. We had postponed a couple of times due to our streak of illness. Our trip was definitely a roadtrip because it involved an overnight stay in Lafayette due to Elaine’s crusty eyes. Then we had a couple extra nights in Mundelein due to Dan’s GI bug. […]
Half a year down for our little one. This just gets more fun as each month goes by, even with a sick baby. All we’ve been doing is exchanging random illnesses since February. I think Mom and Dad have had it worse. Little Hay-Bug is much less bothered by it all. The poor little girl […]
Five months down. Here’s the latest on Hay-Bug: It is so fun to think about all of Hailey’s mundane firsts and superlatives: the coldest day she’s ever experienced, her first fire drill, her first time getting kicked out of a bar, etc. All along, Dan and I have really had to resist the urge to […]
We are just loving this baby more and more each day. She is still the same happy, laid-back little girl. She is looking older and feeling bigger to us. She is rolling front to back and back to front here and there. She is gaining coordination in her hands, and that’s major for her since […]
Thank you to our families and to Hailey’s Godparents for making Hailey’s baptism weekend a joyful celebration! Hailey was an angel for the ceremony in her baptismal gown sewn by Grandma. The the fountain contained a splash of water from the Jordan River in Israel, courtesy of Godmama Marie and Grandma Ce Ce. The ceremony […]
Hailey’s first Christmas Eve started out with a Hart family tradition – last minute shopping. Hailey and Daddy spent the day at the malls, picking out a few more gifts. Later that night, we went to the Christmas Eve service at St. John Lutheran. Hailey managed to sleep through most of it. The few moments […]
Happy three months to Hailey! Things don’t seem entirely different than they did a month ago with the exception that I have gone back to work. More on that in another post, if I ever get to it. We have ourselves one happy baby! Hailey loves to smile is has learned to laugh. She does […]
We are so thankful for the many blessings this year has brought for our family. It goes without saying that we are thankful for the arrival and health of our first child. We cannot express just how much we love her and love our new life with her. Despite a big bump in the road, […]
I just read our 6 week post and can’t believe how much Hailey has changed since then. Metrics Weight: 10 lb. 2 oz., 45% Height: 22.75 in., 50 % Head Circumference: 15.25 in., 50% Little Hailey is one smiley baby. We are happy that she is happy and pretty easy-going. (Though it is notable that […]
This has been a fun week for Miss Hailey! Links to Facebook videos we posted this week: Hanging out on her belly (6 weeks) Baby Squats (6 weeks) Hi! (7 weeks) More Hailey (7 weeks)
If you would have told me I wouldn’t even be able to keep up with the blog while home on maternity leave I would not have believed you. I can’t believe how much time it takes to take care of a little baby. I think I thought they slept a lot more, or at least […]
