Haylee turned 13 months a few days ago. She is getting so big. Maybe I should just say so smart. She is a small little thing. I weighed her a few days ago because we are anxiously waiting to put Haylee in her new carseat and have our little one face forward during car rides, but she is still too small. She has only gained 2 ounces this month. She weighs 19 pounds 7 ounces. We have a little more than half a pound to gain.

I guess part of the reason that Haylee isn't really gaining a whole lot of weight is because she is a picky eater. She will eat any kind of fruit and some meat, but she does not like veggies. She may eat something really well one day and the next not want anything to do with it. It really is pretty difficult trying to get her to eat the right things that she needs to grow. Since switching her to whole milk she has been drinking less. She just doesn't seem to care for the milk. It's been a chore getting her to drink 3 or 4 ounces. The doctor recommends 16-20 ounces a day. So we are far from that. We decided to step back and move onto the stage 2 formula and mix it with half milk. Since doing that we have noticed her drinking more. So maybe after we finish this canister we will try the whole milk by itself again.

This last week Haylee has had a difficult time sleeping. I though it had to do with her not drinking enough milk and waking up hungry, but she has still had a few restless night since going back to the formula. I have come to the conclusion that she is beginning to teeth again. She has the obvious symptoms of constant drooling and hands in the mouth, but I don't feel anything just yet.

Haylee has become quite the "babbler". Not many real words yet, but I know the are soon to come. Haylee will repeat something you say once and never say it again. Maybe she is going to be quiet like her mama. Haylee will point to the things that she wants and shake her head yes or no (something recent within the last day or so). This is very helpful since she isn't talking.

Haylee still really LOVES books. With all of the toys she received for Christmas, she chooses to play with books. She will be one smart little girl when she grows up! Also, her love for music is so funny. Anytime Haylee hears music, whether it be on the radio, t.v., or in a book, she will dance. She will sway her head back and forth, bounce up and down, clap her hands, and now twirl in a circle. It is so cute. We get a big kick out of watching her new dance moves.

Be sure to keep checking for updates on our soon to come NEW FAMILY BLOG. Haylee's totsite expires next month and costs quite a bit of money so I am in the process of creating a family blog. As soon as I get it up and running I will be sure to let everyone know.
