Halyn's 8 week appointment was last Friday and went great. She now weighs 11 lbs 4 oz and is 21 3/4 inches long. Healthy, growing baby! She is definitely changing quickly. She has started being awake for much longer periods during the day. We put her in her bumbo seat for the first time. Not sure how comfortable she was in there, but she stayed for a few minutes holding her head up! She has been holding her rattles for longer periods of time and grasping for objects like her blankets (or my hair). We put her on her activity mat a lot during the day and she moves her head side to side but no rolling over just yet. She is still really into her baby einsteins dvds. She actually laughs out loud at those puppets. A few weeks ago Jason and I went to a huge baby items sale in Zionsville (Whale of a Sale- definitely recommend going for anyone looking for baby stuff! You can look it up online, theres one in the fall and one in the spring) and got 6 more baby einsteins dvds for only $1 each. She is still doing really well sleeping at night. Since she was 5 weeks she has been sleeping anywhere from 5-7 hours straight- AMAZING for me!!! :) :) :) and she is good at putting herself back to sleep on her own after she eats. I can lay her in her bassinet wide awake and shut the lights out and she falls right to sleep (usually...except last night haha).
Halyn has officially gone out to dinner for the first time with us. We took her for some chips and salsa and margaritas at On the Border! J/k! She did really good though. She was awake most of the time looking around. We've also taken her on a trip to the greenwood mall and taken several walks around our neighborhood with Dakota and Heinz. Last Sunday we went to a new church near our home and I think she was feelin the music, it put her right to sleep. She is still wearing size 0-3 clothes, although she did have a little muffin top in one of her pairs of pants the other day! Maybe they shrunk in the dryer :).
We had a party at our house a few weeks ago for Jason's 30TH BIRTHDAY!!! It was such a blast. Even Halyn stayed up with all of us til after midnight playing catch phrase!!

Thanks for visiting our blog! Jason and I met in August 2002 and were married March 24, 2007 in Greenwood, Indiana. After getting married we moved to sunny Glendale, Arizona with our dogs "the ruffies" Dakota and Heinz. On August 2, 2011 we welcomed our little Bambina, Halyn Eve to the world! Now we are on a new adventure of being parents. We love traveling, being outside, having fun and entertaining visitors!
