Hailey and her first surgery

Hailey had her first surgery on Black Friday at 730 in the morning at the Flagstaff Hospital. She had tubes put in both ears. It was a scary morning for me, but I am thankful for Zach for being there. He kept her preoccupied while I got her signed in, and talked to the surgeon and all the many doctors. They had to watch her very carefully during the procedure due to her history with aspiration. I am thankful that they did that. The surgery went fast with no problems. When she was waking up is when she had the problems, it was scary. Finally got her to wake up and calm down almost 45 minutes later, with a Popsicle as well haha. The next day she was great, till that night, her ears started bleeding, and again today they are bleeding, now with vomiting, and she is not wanting to eat. It's starting to worry me, because the dr said actions like this would award her a night in the hospital. I can't do that alone, and can't ask Zach to come with again. I am just hoping my baby get's better and fast.

Hailey and Jealousy

I have recently introduced Hailey to my friend Zach, it went great until......he gave me a hug goodbye. She threw a huge tantrum and I couldn't figure out why?!?

She loves playing with him, he sits there and makes voices, and tickles her, carries her, and does everything and she loves it! Mommy is nothing when Zach is around! She even loves when he teaches her naughty tricks, and Mommy get's upset. They both laugh.


The laughing stop's though, the moment he decides to give me any attention that takes away from her, which could mean talking to, or laughing with Mommy, or hugging Mommy. She is showing signs of major jealousy, or she has a cute little crush :-)

November

Many things have happened in just the few days so far of November:

Hailey likes the swings again


She at not even 14 months old, takes over the local jungle gym like she owns it.
She loves giving mom a heart attack by running up to the top and going down the BIG slide, ALONE!


She has also learned many words, her favorite few being, "Mine, No, Wait, Up, Poop *I shake my head in disgust every time I hear that*, Done, Play, More, Food, Spider, Dog, and many more. My favorite is when I say goodbye to her she yells "No wait Mommy!" I am glad that I spend as many hours as I do working with her on her speech.

Another very big step is *drum roll please*, she has decided she is ready for........


That's right, potty training! She informs me of when she goes, and has used others potties, so I scrapped up my money, and went and bought a potty chair, she has in fact used it 3 times already, and is loving it!
