Shots and Tears

Poor Haylee had her two month shots and checkup today on her two month birthday. I felt so bad for her! She was already crying because she was hungry (big surprise) and then when the first poke came, the screaming started! She couldn't catch her breath at first and her whole head turned bright red and then she screamed and the tears started rolling. I fed her after that and she slept the rest of the day! She woke up to eat and that was about it. Man! Getting shots and doctor visits are exhausting!
Check out my cool hot pink band aids! She got a total of 5 vaccines and 3 pokes.
Haylee is growing and developing right on track. She now weighs 9 pounds, 14 ounces and is 21 3/4 long. She can now see across the room, about 8-10 feet away, and some color. I forgot what percentile she is for her height and weight, but she is around average. I can not believe my baby is already two months. She has changed and grown so much. It is very exciting!

Haylee is really starting to smile. I had to capture some and share. It just melts your heart.

Mothers Day 2009 and Haylee's Blessing

We decided last minute (the Thursday before) to bless Haylee on Mother's Day Sunday at my parent's house. We decided to keep it very small with immediate family only in respect of Rich because he is so shy and nervous to pray in front of people. We just love our little angel!
Rich gave Haylee an amazing blessing. It was truly perfect. He was very nervous, but you could not even tell. He said all of the right things and I am so glad that Haylee has been blessed and given her name by her daddy. The spirit was definitely there. Haylee was getting cranky right before, but as soon as Rich began to speak she calmed down and didn't make a peep until it was done. It was such a special day.
Our first family picture on my first Mother's Day. Mother's Day was so special. Rich was so sweet and made me breakfast and did all of the dishes. I wish everyday was Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to my sweet mom and Haylee's grandma. We are so lucky to have her in our lives. She does so much for us and is always there to help. We love you!
