Two Months Old!

Hard to believe our little Hailey is two months old already! We go in tomorrow for her 2 month checkup and shots. Not sure if they'll give her the shots or not as she has kind of a bad rash on her face right now, we'll see. I'll post the findings tomorrow.

Saturday playing with Kylie

We had a fun day at the park today with Kylie, Karena, Shanda, Sharon & Grandma in Plover. The girls played on the jungle gym, in the sand, ate snacks, played at McDonalds, Shopko, and Ihop. It was a fun overall day, while the Grandma's tended to the babies :) I love that last picture of them wrapping them up to stay warm. It was a warm day but kind of breezy, so it kept cool. Taylor had so much fun with Kylie; they might get to play again tomorrow at Grandpa & Grandma Topinka's if we go over for Great-Grandpa's birthday.

Bumbo


She's trying so hard to sit up in the bumbo chair. She likes to be able to watch her sister. Taylor was trying to get something in the kitchen so I left Hailey for 2 seconds to help her and I was watching Hailey's little head go back and forth while sitting in this chair looking for us.. it was priceless, wish I had the video camera on.

Hailey had such a good nap this morning and woke up so happy, had to take a picture of course.

Update

Sorry I haven't posted anymore all week. I should have some more pictures by tomorrow night. We are planning on doing something with Mar, Sharon, Shanda & girls so should be fun! Ben's working for Keith and their guys are going to the Iola Car Show.

Here's how my first week at work went. I just work 3 days a week right now so that is always a faster week.

Monday was stressful of course.. catching up on everything and Hailey didn't eat for the babysitter AT ALL! Monday night I slept with one of Hailey's blankets to make it smell like me in hopes it would help.

Tuesday was calm at work and Hailey took 2 little bottles from the sitter.

Wednesday was busy at work again and Hailey took 3 bottles from the sitter. I think Hailey just needed to get to know her sitter and the blanket probably helped too.

Thursday I was off so did some cleaning in the morning, then went and walked around the mall before the stores really opened. Taylor played on the play area in the food court for a long time and was hungry so she had a cheeseburger. I was looking for some t-shirts because mine really don't fit well so we went to Old Navy. Didn't fall in love with anything there so Mel suggested Gordmans. I got the girls out of the van then realize I left the bag in there, but I couldn't catch the door in time. So, my keys got locked in the car! What a pain, but good thing Ben wasn't working too far away. We played with all the toys in Gordmans and watched cartoons until he came to our rescue. I was just glad nobody got a poopy diaper and Taylor had already eaten.

Hailey still has a heat rash all over her face, any suggestions to make it go away?
Somebody on my baby club mentioned hydrocotisone 1% over the counter, but I'll probably ask my dr first before trying anything like that. She has a dr appt on Monday for her first shots :( Not looking forward to that of course. I need to call them today anyway to see how much tylenol I should give her before we go in. I always gave Taylor some before her shots to keep the fever at bay.

Here are the girls this morning. Hailey's still sleeping and Taylor's eating breakfast in bed - only Mommy's bed instead of her own. I let her because it's just dry cereal (what she wanted so I didn't complain) That's Tomy a Thomas train she's holding. She got to buy it at Gordmans because she was a such a good girl while we waited.



Have a good weekend everyone!

Our weekend


Hailey was on a hunger strike today at the babysitter's... any suggestions to get her to take the bottle from her would be welcome. She's taken it from me and Ben.

We had a fun weekend with Mom and Dad, Mar and Jr, Tim and Mel & girls, Shelley & Keith to name a few at some point through the several days. The guys were working on our garage a lot of the time.

We went to Menasha pool Saturday afternoon for a cool down. Taylor LOVED the big slide. We must've walked up those stairs 15 times at least. It was pretty fun.
