The Daily Hailey

Our baby girl is quickly becoming our bouncing baby girl! I suspect she will be on the move before we know it. She has yet to roll over but has recently been giving it significant effort. She hangs out on her side a lot, and if we put her on her tummy, she arches her back like crazy and tries to go over. So its coming. Also, something weird that we’ve noticed is that she tries to sit up. As in, from laying down. We discovered this in the car a little while ago. In that little mirror, we saw her sitting in her car seat, with her head up as if trying to sit up! We figured we were making stuff up, but even from flat on the ground, she lifts her head up and tries to sit. Crazy. Like I said, in no time, we will have a mover.

A source of entertainment for her has been her Jumparoo. For those who don’t know, its just a massive exersaucer that is stationary and doesn’t make dents in the floor if the baby jumps. Today, however, playing in it proved to be too much for our little babe.

Watching her fade in there was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. I love her. Oh, and don’t worry. I didn’t leave her there. Once the photo op was over, she went upstairs to bed.

I mentioned a while ago that we ordered a Johnny Jump, which is a different brand of a Jolly Jumper, basically. Too bad we had to get the boy one, but who says our little girl can’t rock an electric guitar?? It finally arrived in the store yesterday so Brady picked it up and installed it today. Again, one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!!!

She would not put her arms up!! It was sooo funny! She was completely adorable in it, and actually lasted longer than I thought she would. She’s not at a point where she’ll play in any of her toys for too long, since , number one, she’s a baby, and number two, her core strength isn’t awesome and she gets tired holding herself up! But she loves to be up, so the toys are winners for sure!

Bouncing baby is quickly becoming bottled and burped and bedtime baby, and I will then become bath and bad snack baby…
