First of all, I want to say Happy Birthday to Luke! He turned 6 on Thursday. On Tuesday we celebrated his birthday with an ice cream bash! As always the kids had a great time playing with each other. Since Hailey is talking more and more now they kids had her go around the table and say each of their names. She did a great job and said every single one! One of the main reasons we moved back from Maryland was so Hailey could grow up close to her family/cousins and each time we get together I am reminded of what a great decision that was :-)
Well, Hailey is now officially a 2 year old and lives up to that well :-) She LOVES the word no and says it passionately. No, no, no momma is heard loud and clear around our house. She also loves to pick out her own clothes and shoes. At least as she gets smarter I do too, so I have learned to pick out what I want her to wear and have it within her reach so when she goes in her closet she picks what is within her reach and we are both happy! I am well aware that before I know it she will be on to my game, but in the meantime I am still a step ahead!
This past week I unexpectantly came down with strep in the middle of summer! Go figure! Thankfully, I have now been on antibiotics for 3 days and both Hailey and Tim are still feeling well so lets hope and pray they stay that way.
Hailey is also trying to break through her last few teeth, I think she has about 4 left. These ones seem to be giving her some trouble and her binky has become her teething toy. So far she has poked a hole in one. She is also waking up crying at night so I sure hope they come through soon!
On the reflux front, I think we may be ahead of the game. She has been on her new medicine I believe for about 2 weeks and we have nothing to complain about. Actually, I think my mom's theory has been proven correct because since she has been on the new medicine her appetite has decreased. Which to some may seem like a bad thing, but with Hailey all this means is maybe pushing away a bite or two when she used to cry after eating a full meal like she was still starving. To us this is an accomplishment. I think maybe some of the eating may have been due to reflux/medicine.
This Thursday she goes in for her 2 year check-up so I will soon have an updated weight/height. I am sure it will be a far cry from the 2lbs, 15.5 oz she was 2 years ago. She may even hit the 25lb mark. We shall see!
