Haidyn is 3 months old already! My how time is going by so fast! She's turning into such a big girl. She's such a happy baby, except when she's tired, then she's little miss cranky pants.

6/6/08 - A week of daycare

Haidyn has made it through a week of daycare, or what we call "school." She seems to have adjusted very well. She smiles at all the kids and even talks to her best friend Gabbi (she's 3). She's sleeping all the way through the night and I've had to wake her up the last couple of mornings to get her ready. Not sure if she's just getting tired out from all the activity at daycare or if she's just hitting a growth spurt and needs the extra rest. We're going to put her to bed earlier at night and see how that works out for her.

6/2/08 - First full day of daycare

Haidyn is at her first full day of daycare today. She seems to be doing really well and likes Jen and the other kids. Jen even sent me a picture of her smiling, so it looks like she's doing ok without her mommy. Wish I could say her mommy was doing ok without her little girl though.

Haidyn had her second trip across state lines this past weekend. We went to visit her Aunt Julie this weekend in Minnesota. She did great in the car, slept most of the time. She gets a little cranky from all the travelling, but was pretty good for the most part. She also went to her first baby shower! Her Auntie Joy will have a little daughter in August. We've already set up a play date next summer for them.

5/19/08 - 2 month checkup

Haidyn had her 2 month doctor's appointment today. She's 23 1/2 inches long and 11 lbs 1 oz. That puts her in the 90th percentile for length and 50th percentile for weight. So she's still long and skinny. The doctor said she'll probably eat more than the average baby since she's so long. So that explains why she's a little piglet and likes to eat all the time. She got her first round of immunizations today. She cried when she first got the shots, but then went to sleep in the next few minutes. The doctor also said never to leave her alone on a bed or anything, the way she's moving... she's going to roll any day now! We also have to do some neck exercises with her. She likes to turn her head to the right, but not the left. The exercises will help her from getting stiff. Otherwise she's doing great and she's not due for her next appointment until she's 4 months.

Haidyn had her first trip across state lines this past weekend. We went to visit her Great-Grandma Schatz in Monticello, IA. She did really well in the car. She slept most of the way (it's a 3 hour trip). She was a bit cranky over the weekend though. I don't think she likes her routine changed too much. It was still a nice visit though.

Can't believe she's two months old already! I only have 3 more weeks and I have to go back to work. I really like our daycare person, but it's still going to be very hard to leave her every morning.

All is well with Haidyn. She got baptized last weekend. She was really good. Gave a big pout when the pastor poured water on her head, but otherwise took it like a big girl! Speaking of big girl.. she's getting so long! Still has a skinny little butt, so it's hard to fit her in clothes. 3 month is still huge on her, but the newborn clothes are getting too short. We're going to visit Great-Grandma Schatz this weekend. I'll post pics as soon as I can.
