Cradle Cap

Hana got cradle cap just like Hayli did. Hana's seems to be worse because she has hair that it sticks to. I just hope we can treat it in time successfully before she loses all her hair! Sorry, you have to tilt your head sideways for this one!

X's and O's

I try to get Hayli to Unidad park at least once a week. The playground is 80% wood so it doesn't get too hot (really important since it is getting in the triple digits here). Hayli doesn't realize how to play tic-tac-toe but she sure does like making all the blocks match!

Night Night

These moments make all the hardships worth it!

So much energy...

Can you imagine living with and being responsible for the Energizer Bunny? That is our life! Hayli IS the Energizer Bunny... she just keeps going and going and going... Thank goodness for parks and open gym... whew... The trampolines are always a favorite.

Miss Tori sets up a sort of obstacle climb for the kiddos every week. Hayli has to conquer those at least once or twice.

This week Miss Tori set up the walking beam, which Hayli insisted was a "seesaw".

The foam pit is another favorite of Hayli's (mommy's not so much!). It is really hard to get Hayli out once she is in the pit... thankfully Miss Tori was in the pit to get Hayli out this time!

Hayli's new find? Well, this swing of course! Hayli was having a great time until she thought she could do this twice in a row, and she fell flat on her face busting her bottom lip. I think she may think twice before trying this again. But it was neat to see that she has enough strength to do it one time. No more going twice for a while! It was nice of Miss Tori to give Hayli a popsicle to help her lip. Thanks Tori!

The Alpaca

Today Hayli, Hana, and I went to the Alpaca Farm. When we got out of the car, Hayli was very afraid of the large animals. "No mama... scared. Don't want it!" Well, that didn't last long...

Mr. Bruce, the owner, is really nice and showed us the place. Mr. Bruce introduced the kids to the most recent addition to his alpaca farm. Hayli took a lot of turns petting the sweet baby.

Mr. Bruce also has a camel, named Sara, on his farm!

There was also a horsie!

Needless-to-say, Hayli did NOT want to go home!!!

Hana's 2 Month Appointment

Today was Hana's 2 month doctor appointment. Hana was asleep when we arrived to the appointment. I must mention that we were on time (a rarity now). First, Hana was weighed and measure. She weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces (5.25 kg) and measured 23 inches (58.4 cm) long. She is now in the 75th percentile (up from the 50th percentile at her 1 month doctor appointment) for both her height and weight. Hana's doctor, Dr. Settles, examined Hana, and was happy with Hana's progression both physically and mentally. Dr. Settles mentioned that Hana does have a belly button (or umbilical cord) hernia. I just thought it was an outie belly button. If it doesn't fix itself, surgery is required. We will just have to watch it, and hopefully it will fix itself. I took some pictures of Hana's hernia after we got home just to show what it looks like now.The nurse came in and gave Hana her one oral immunization and her three "cocktail" shots. Hana cried, and turned beat red, until the nurse was done administering the shots. After a minute of the nurse holding her, Hana settled down and relaxed. Hana's legs are still sore and we are giving her pain reliever. Hana is a tough cookie, and survived her first shot appointment with flying colors!

Hana is 2 Months Old!

Today Hana is officially two months old. I can't believe how time is flying by us! Dada and I measured Hana at 22.5 inches (57 cm) and weighing 11 pounds 9.2 ounces (5.25 kg) tonight. We will see what the doctor says on Tuesday! Hana moves her head from one side to the other when she is on her belly now. She LOVES to eat and sleep! (A girl after my own heart!) Hana is a calm baby most of the time. I look forward to when I can sit her somewhere and she can entertain herself for a minute or two. Love you baby girl!
