Since my camera is still full... here's some more phone pics from last week:

my poor baby!! Double Ear infection in both ears :(

Hailey's feet grew yet again.
Below are her new shoes size: 6 1/2 xwide!

And.. to the Dr's office we went...

Above: Hailey waiting at the Doctor's office for her appointment...

Hailey has a pretty bad ear infection in both of her ears. She's been up most of the night since Wednesday. Which means, I too, have been up most of the time since Wednesday. I'm exhausted! I haven't been this worn out since Hailey was first born. She's crying, hurting, and just plain miserable. I'm happy we made it to the Dr. today. I got her started on medicine and I'm praying that kicks in very quickly! Nici had mentioned "Night Terror's," in her blog recently and after doing some research on them.. we discovered that describes Hailey at night. She doesn't sleep sound and hasn't from birth. The older she's getting its easier to notice. I can't stand hearing and seeing my baby so upset and scared at night. It makes me cry.. I've really struggled the past few days with her being so sick, too. I guess it's harder to keep yourself composed when you're out of energy. Hailey wanted all the attention at the Dr's office today. Every time the doctor would talk to me, Hailey would pat me on the leg and say "Mama, Mama, Mama..." then proceed to ramble a bunch of baby talk. She was in her stroller.. I finally turned her around to look at the pictures on the wall so I could converse with the Dr. Hailey kept asking for her "Wa wo (water)" and I finally handed it to her. I turned back to get it from her (cause she only takes a sip usually then hands it back) and discovered her pouring the very last drop of a very FULL water bottle on her lap. The whole time she was grinning ear to ear. Then she kept saying "Mama, Meh (mess)" and then would say "ooooh COH (cold)." So the Dr. had to page for paper towels and I quickly cleaned it up embarrassed and a bit surprised at what she did. Hailey did get some basic check up stuff done... she's now 27lbs, 33inches, and has a BIG head (lol.. according to her new pediatrician.) They even remeasured her while filling out the chart to make sure the measurement was correct. Her head is 19inches right now. They said it's not a problem as long as it grows correctly with the rest of her :) She's 50-75th% in her height and 50% in her weight. She's doing well physically (in general) and I'm very relieved to get that news.

Drinking from a BIG girl cup...

Hailey has learned how to drink from a real cup! She's getting big so quickly... I can hardly keep up with her. Hope you like the picture: (I'll post it soon)

Off to Nursery...

Today we got to church and a little boy hit Hailey in the face several times before I realized it was happening. His Mom ran over and grabbed him, slapped his hand and told him "no." Hailey just looked at him with confusion, not sure what to do. I asked her if she was ok and told her he wasn't being nice. Then, I grabbed her little hand and we walked all the way around to the other side of the building. For the very first time, I took Hailey to Nursery! I started to sit her down to the table and before I could finish... she was leaned over giving GIANT hugs and a great big kiss to a little girl with down syndrome. Hailey doesn't do this to just any kid, but, she always has when she's seen this little girl. Sorry, I don't know her name yet. But, it was so sweet. Once Hailey sat down, she started to rattle off all kinds of baby jabber... talking to the little girl next to her. She was so happy and excited to be in nursery. I left her with a big Mama hug and kiss... left the room... and had to cross the hall. I went into the bathroom for just a quick second... my eyes had gotten all watery and silly me... I cried just a little. But, quickly I composed myself and peeked in on her once before going to Sunday school. She was adorable! So busy playing, sharing, and just being happy as can be. I peeked in on her again just before Relief Society and watched her from the hall for about one minute or so. The Nursery leader's little boy followed her every where she went. He took every toy out of her hand and tried to take anything she picked up. Every time he did this, she just gave him a look like he was nuts and without any hollering she moved onto a new toy. After a few times of this I think she got sick of it... pretty soon I heard her say "no," then it became "NO," and soon she was giving him the "stink eye look" and off to the other side of the room hollering "NO!" The leader (and mom of the boy) came over and took him out of the room. Hailey was back to her happy little self hopping across the room on her little tip toes.. doing that funny little run hop she loves to do and went back to playing. I'm so proud of her... I saw her sharing and being such a good girl. When I picked her up.. the leader said she kissed "Kennedy" several times during class... think we'll have to put a stop to that. I love her!!
