Haileys first months *picture post*

This is Hailey in the NICU a day after she was born. This was a few hours before her surgery. She was soooo tiny and swollen. She wouldn't take the paci *gee i wonder why, couldn't be the og tube could it?* That hat was SOOO huge on her that it went past her eyes. No one knew that she had DS yet.


Here she is about a week after her surgery. The nurses had just given her a bath *I was WAYYYY to scared to* so that explains her monkey hair lol. There are socks on her hands because she hated the oxgen and og tubes. The og tube was full of dried blood and gross biley type stuff.

She's been a grandma's girl right from the start! ST wanted us to try the pacis as often as possible. She HATED them.



Her face was so tiny that all the tape and bandaids could hardly fit. She was a tapey mess all the time.





Daddy was scared to hold her because of all the tubes. But when he finally did he wouldn't put her down. It was the most heartwarming thing in my entire life.





Those newborn diapers were SOOO big on her. It was sad/funny. The only way to calm her down was to hold her hands and hum to her. We did that often.


WE'RE HOME!!! That boppy pillow was a life saver for her. It helped her ALOT with head control.

That's where she slept, ate, and played for quite a while. Grandma didn't want her to get cold so she bundled her up *It was only September btw*


Can we say JAUNDICE? lol We couldn't tell if she had it or if she was just colored like her daddy. Needless to say, she had it.




She LOVED her hippo gym/tummy time mat.




Halloween last year. She HATED her costume, but we went to Burger King because one of my friends dressed up AS the Burger King and she fell asleep and forgot all about it!

That's all the pics i have on this computer. I need to get her birthday pix uploaded soon.

Bye <3

Elmo *sigh*

I told myself that if I ever had a child, they would NOT be obsessed with Elmo like almost every other child on earth. Hahaha I laugh to myself these days. Daddy got Hailey an Elmo that giggles when you move his head. I hate love it so much. Well Hailey loves it soOoOo much. We've already been through one, and her birthday was only in August. I got her an Elmo/Cookie Monster ball the other day, and Grandma got her an Elmo pull along ball. And I got her an Elmo chair that giggles and shakes. She doesn't like the giggling, she looks around and her eyes get wide. But she sits in that chair like a big girl now! Today I sat her down in the chair so I could get something to drink and she said there, held onto the arm rests and watched football.

That child adores football. When I get around to it, I'm going to post Hailey's birthday pictures and some others of her. I'm just lazy and depressed at the moment. My life isn't going exactly as I hoped it would, but that happens to the best of us, it's just that I can't get over it.

Ho hum.

Who knew?

I had NO IDEA that Hailey knew how to stand up in her crib, or that she knew how to pull herself up on her grandma's bed and ALMOST put her in hand in the fan, or that she knew how to unplug things, or how to turn on and off the night light. This just proves that just because she has DS doesn't mean she can't do things, she does but she just does them when she thinks no one is looking!

Hailey Bean is a handful lately, but I love it. Today was her first day in her "big girl" carseat, and she LOVED it. She can sit upright and see everything, and yesterday was her first day acutally sitting in a shopping cart, not just in her carseat in the shopping cart. She's getting soooo big and she can almost crawl on her hands and knees now, but she still belly crawls most of the time. It's almost Bean's bedtime, she's going to go watch Reba with grandma and I'm going to play WoW until I have to go to work.
