6 month check-up!

See...I'm getting better...two blogs in one week (what is bad though is while writing this, I am just putting off doing laundry...ick)!!

Barry, Hailey, & I had such an enjoyable weekend...one of the first weekends in a LONG time we just stood still for a bit!! Being that it barely got above freezing all weekend (thanks to "global warming" right??)...we stayed indoors, watched movies, played games, and did not venture too far from the fire place, which kept a steady roar all weekend! Next weekend we're back to our gypsy-like routine and headed to College Station. Barry's mom (Granny) hasn't gotten to see Hailey since before Christmas so we've got LOTS of new things to show her!! :)

Hailey had her 6-month Well Visit today!! It seems that in the past 2-3 weeks she has completely changed from a "baby" to a little girl!! She's 14lbs, 14 oz and 27 1/4 inches. As I mentioned before, she can now sit up on her own, she talks up a storm, and now she has her FIRST TOOTH!! Also, wine glasses now fear her...if placed within a body-length distance from her, she WILL find a way to knock it down...or just about anything else for that matter!! I'm thinking about taking a "ropes course" training or a juggling class just to make sure my reflexes are in perfect tact for what is to come!! She's soo happy and sweet... here is a little video of her in action! :)




There is one thing that has been freaking me out...Barry says I worry too much...but hey, that's my job as the mom right...if it were up to him there would never be anything wrong with anything!! I've noticed that every once-in-a-while Hailey's pupils are not even (her left pupil appears slightly larger than the right)...but in direct light they both dialate perfectly. I brought this to her Ped's attention today and he agreed that the left looked a bit larger, that most likely it is nothing to worry about b/c her pupils react to light perfectly and she follows objects with her eyes perfectly...but he was going to check with a pediatric optimologist to see if they would like me to have a consult. Anyway, I'm praying that I'm just worrying for nothing but either way, prayers are welcome...mostly for her health but maybe a few for my sanity!! Ahh motherhood!!

Well I believe that is all for now...oh wait one more thing....GO COWBOYS!!!

Love,

The Fords
