And here we are now ...

Well, to bring you up-to-date Hailey is doing wonderful and has a birthday approaching very soon! We have sent out the invites and are getting very excited! We have been taking her out more and more and she just loves it. Yesterday she stuck her feet in the sand for the first time and loved every moment. Actually, when I picked her up to go home she cried! I think we will try to take her to the beach this weekend. We also did WalkAmerica on May 7th, we raised $415.00. Thank you to all who supported us! As far as her early intervention appt, they said she is average for her adjusted age and above average for her actual age!!! The only issue is her core strength. Sometimes because preemies are in the isolette laying flat for so long and not floating in the tummy they can have muscle tone issues. So we will be working with a physical therapist through the summer. On a side note, while waiting for our first appt she started slithering along on the floor and rolls everywhere. She also gets up on all 4's and rocks so maybe by the time we get the appt she won't need it! Also she can pull up on things now when sitting, though when laying flat she can't seem to sit herself up. Anyway, we are getting there! She also had her first night away from home June 2nd at the TBS staff retreat. She did wonderful and did not cause one disturbance. When she gets out of her normal routine she gets very overstimulated and is a happy baby, but does not like to sleep so needless to say the next day she (and we) were exhausted! Here is a recent pix of her watching Elmo on the computer!

Don't you love the little clips I found for her hair?! She hardly has any hair, but I have been dying to put something in it so there is my attempt :)
