she's 8 weeks old today!

haley is 8 weeks old today...how time flies!  for the last 5 days, we think haley has been growing!  she's been eating every 2.5 hrs and sleeping a lot too. oh and she cries like mad when she's put down!  ;-(  it's been pretty demanding on me, which is why i'm just making new blog entries today.  i hope that things go back to "normal" soon.  the only nice thing is that the last 2 days she has gone longer thru the night, so i've caught up on some sleep i was lacking at the beginning of the week.

we have been trying to take her places so she gets used to being around other people & so she can be exposed to different sights and sounds. last week, we went to lunch two times to meet with my coworkers, and she did great both times.  we also went to a baby shower for a good friend on saturday, and she did very well there too.   she's getting very curious - loves being upright & looking around .  we were walking thru the mall this weekend and she was wide awake, holding her head up and just looking at everything around her!  it was neat.

she still gets the hiccups every day but its about twice versus 4 or 5 times a day that she had them when she was younger.  the difference between then and now, is that when she gets them now, it's about a 98% chance she'll spit up with the first few hiccups.  so, as soon as i hear her start, gotta grab the burp cloth!  it's much easier to throw a burp cloth in the hamper vs. changing her outfit.  ;-)

there are still fall leaves on the trees, so we've gone on a few walks weather permitting.  usually she sleeps but she does look around for a while before sawing logs.  i tried out a 'bundle me' yesterday in the carseat...it's basically like a sleeping bag that zips up all around to keep the babies warm in the carseat or stroller.  that thing is MAGIC - she slept like a log both times i had her in it!  it's super warm and sooo soft.  i wish i had one! 

i put her hand in the ring so she could work on her grip, and she fell asleep holding it! 

sheepish grin!

this is the magic "bundle me" that i referred to earlier.  she is so cozy and slept away, even after we got back from our walk!  it zips up on the sides, so is like a sleeping bag.  and it has holes in the back so you can still strap her in.
