Hailey - 6 months old

It's impossible that our sweet little 3 lb. 15 oz. baby is already 6 months old!! I think the Lord hand-picked Hailey for our family! She is the sweetest, calmest, happiest baby that I've ever known (and I've known a lot of them). The Lord knew Hannah would be a little stinker of a 3 year old, so He sent us Hailey. We sure love this baby!

She loves to suck on her hands & shirt, loves her binkie and is a good sleeper. She goes down around 9 and sleeps until 6. Then she'll usually nurse and go back down for another 2 hours. She's been a really good nurser too.

At her 6 month check last week, she weighed 12 lbs. 12 oz. (which puts her not quite on the chart, so less than 1% for her age). Adjusted age (adding 6 1/2 weeks) puts her about 25th percentile. She's 24 inches long, which is about 5th percentile for her age (and 50th for adjusted). She loves to watch her brother & sisters and smiles all the time. She's starting to like holding toys and is starting to roll over.

Hailey-girl, you're a gem! We love you!













And you can tell we have a lot of fun with her!
