The past couple weeks have been pretty rough at the Prescott household. We have all been a little "under the weather" including Haylee. She has started teething, but she caught her first real cold on top of that. She has not been eating or sleeping very well either. To make it worse, Haylee would cough so hard that she would throw up most of her bottle and she would also wake herself up whenever she coughed making sleeping a little difficult. We ended up taking a trip to the doctor today just to make sure her ears were ok and there was no infection. The doctor said it was nothing more than a virus, but more than just teething. She is working on pushing her two bottom teeth through. Right when she started to eat better and sleep through the night, the teething starts. Go figure! I just feel sad for her. It is no fun!
I totally skipped an update at four months so here is a five month update... Haylee is getting so big! In her own kind of way that is! As of today, Haylee weighs 13 pounds, 10 ounces fully clothed. At her four month check-up, she weighed 11 pounds 12 ounces which dropped her lower in the percentile, but she jumped up in height at 24 1/2 inches long. Her weight is low, but her height makes up for it so it was not a concern. Haylee is still rolling all over to get around. When she is on her stomach or back she pushed with her feet helping her get around a little too. She loves sleeping in her own room in her big crib, but is such a mover! When I go get her when she wakes up, she is not where I left her when she was sleeping! I usually find her up at the top of the crib on her stomach stuck in the corner just blabbering on and on! She is still sleeping with her hands being her head just like her Daddy! She still holds on to her left ear for comfort too. She also puts her hands behind her head while in the bath and just kicks her feet. It is as if she is just relaxing as she gets pampered. It cracks me up! Everything she can get her hands on goes straight to her mouth. She is constantly chewing on everything and drooling like crazy. She is already wanting cell phones and remotes! Oh man! Are we in trouble or what?! She is also pretty stubborn (that is her Daddy in her) and has to hold her bottle all by herself with both hands. She holds on so tight so no one will take it from her. We are working on helping her sit up on her own, but she is still working on it. I think crawling is not too far off either. We will see. Haylee loves cereal! She likes it by spoon and in her bottles. It is my favorite to watch her eat. We are going to try bananas and sweet potatoes next. I am loving every minute of every day being a mom to Haylee. She has really attached to me now and will light up when I enter the room and cry when I leave. The absolute best is when Haylee gives hugs and kisses. Well, they are what I call hugs and kisses. She puts her head on my shoulder and gives open-mouth kisses on my cheek or neck. It is more of sucking, but I love it! She has developed a little personality and you gotta love the attitude! She wants it when she wants it. That's for sure. She has also developed quite a scream. To be honest, I hate it. Lets just hope she grows out of it! I love to watch her learn and figure out life. It makes me so excited for what is to come in her development and growth.
Haylee loves playing on her play mat. She is a little monkey and grabs the hanging toys with her feet!
Haylee's favorite place to nap ... the love sac! So comfy!
Do you have a Bumbo? That really helped Dax to learn to use his stomach muscles to sit. I got mine at Target. Daxie also liked to sit in it while we fed him!!! They can be in them as soon as they can hold their head up. give it a Whirl!
