9 Month appointment (12/11/08)

Haidyn is doing great. Growing just as she should. She's 19.8 lbs and 29" long. Although we think the measurement was off, we don't think she's that long. She got her first flu shot (she goes back in a month for the second one) and got a Hep B shot. She also got her toe pricked to do a blood panel. Everything came back normal. We had a rough night last night, she doesn't do well with the Hep B shot. Hopefully she'll be back to her old self soon!

She can stand! (12/9/08)

Pulling herself up to stand.

I go into her room and she's standing up in her crib! This is the first time she pulled herself up. She still has a hard time pulling up at a table, I think it's a little high for her yet. But she can pull up and stand at her little step stool. My little girl is growing up so fast!

Her first word? (12/8/08)

Is she speaking now? I'm pretty sure she has said her first word. Hi! I thought she was just making sounds, but she'll waive and say hi, and it comes out really clear, so I think she understands.

Third Tooth (12/5/08)

Her third tooth popped through last night. She now has three right in a row on the bottom. She has one on top that's ready, but hasn't popped yet.
She's crawling really fast now. She can pull up to her knees, but hasn't pulled herself up to standing yet. I don't think it will be much longer though.
She's starting to not like to be fed, she'd much rather feed herself. She's an ooey gooey mess afterwards!

8 months old

8 Months

I can't believe she's 8 months old already. She's on the move all the time. She's getting quite good at crawling, she can clear a room pretty quick now. She can't pull herself up yet though. She found that out the hard way. Will (at daycare) had pulled himself up at a table and Haidyn wanted to try it. Unfortunately, she didn't make it and whacked her head pretty good. She's got a big bruise on her forehead. I'm sure it's the first of many to come. She has no fear, she'll try anything.
She's starting to eat a little bit more table food. She loves toast! We tried pasta (elbow noodles) and she wasn't so sure about them. We'll try shells next, I think she'll be able to hold them a little better.
All in all, she's doing great! Growing and changing every day.

She's on the move! (11/8/08)

Well, it's official. Haidyn can crawl. She's still a little slow, but she's getting better and faster every day. Paisley's bones are her biggest motivator. She'll crawl right to them. And Paisley being the good big sister that she is, likes to leave them right there for Haidyn to grab.
