Blog Pictures

I hope everyone has been enjoying the Haley blog. (I know most of you have, because you've told me). A lot of you have been asking to get copies of the pictures on the blog. I have the pictures in an online account that people can go to and print out the ones they want. You can click on the word "photos" below (in pink), and view all the photos.

Haley has been doing really well. I think we finally have a routine down. (I say that, but today she wanted to wakeup early and then we fell back asleep until 9:45!) Usually we get up about 8 and go downstairs, and she plays for about an hour. She usually gets hungry around 9. Then she'll play a little more before she takes her morning nap, around 10:30 or 11. She usually sleeps an hour, but sometimes it's shorter. She wakes up and she's usually hungry so I feed her rice cereal, which I still have to trick her into eating. Hopefully she'll enjoy her baby food more than the rice cereal. After she eats that we play a little more. If it's nice we go on a walk or go sit outside. She loves to be outside. She takes an afternoon nap around 3:30 or 4. She sleeps for about an hour or so and then wakes up wanting to eat. I feed her and then we wait until Sean gets home. She gets so excited when he comes home. They play together for awhile while I cook dinner. About 7 or 7:30 we give her a bath, she says her good nights, and depending how much she ate the last time, I'll feed her again. We then put her to bed around 8, and then she becomes unpredictable!! Her nights are still a problem area. She usually will wake up around 11 wanting to eat. I've been real firm in not feeding her, and just rocking her to sleep. It usually works. She'll go back to sleep, but and hour or two later she's up again. I try not to feed her at night, but sometimes that's all she wants. She'll wake up around 4 am for the last time before we get up at 8. I'm hoping that being on baby food will help her sleep better.

We just wanted to say before we go that Papa Cook, you are in our prayers. Hope you get to feeling better!! We love you!!
