Our lives have settled quite nicely since your arrival 5 short months ago. We absolutely love being a family of 4! This month has been full of fun events – a visit from the Russ family, Mother’s Day and Mommy and Daddy’s first vacation since you were born!
Health
Your ears have been doing pretty good since your ear tubes were placed in April, however, this month you surprised us with two eye infections – 10 days a part!!! It was the weirdest thing ever. You went to sleep the night of May 20th and woke at 3am on the 21st a little fussy and cranky. I hadn’t noticed your eye as it was dark. After I changed you and you would not stop fussing, I turned the lights and to investigate and saw that your eye was swollen completely shut! Of course I immediately woke your Daddy and we called the after hours nurse. We took you in to see the doctor first thing on Saturday morning and you were diagnosed with pink eye and also had an infection in the tissues around the eye. After 10 days of antibiotics, the day you stopped taking them, you got the same thing in your other eye on May 31st!!! It was so crazy.
Sleep
You are still a very good sleeper. Mommy and Daddy took a vacation to the Bahamas this month and your Aunt Rara (Tara) flew in from Florida to watch you and your brother. She had you sleeping through the night without a feeding. I was so impressed!
New Tricks/Favorite Activities
You love blowing bubbles with your mouth
You love, love, love getting raspberries on your belly. Especially from your brother! Carson just loves to give you raspberries and you both belly laugh!
You love your feet! You have started to grab your feet and more recently have started to suck on your toes! Mamma (my mom) tells me I used to do this at your age as well. Like mother like daughter :-)
You napped in your crib for the first time this month at home. You have napped in your crib at daycare a couple of times, but you still prefer to nap in your swing.
You can sit with the assistance of you boppy.
You can roll from front to back and back to front.
You had cereal for the first time this month! You weren’t extremely excited about it but you did eat it.
You still love your exercauser and any toy that rattles and makes noise.

She's thinking its not what its cracked up to be.
Getting a decent picture of the two of them is difficult. But I think this one is cute.
Mommy is hardly ever in front of the camera.
Here is a cute video of Miss Haley blowing bubbles.
Brian and I have been married for 6 years. We welcomed our son, Carson, in March of 2008 and our daughter, Haley, in December of 2010. We are enjoying parenthood tremendously and can't wait for each new day with them. They bring us so much joy.
