Emily had another big couple of months. Turning 11 months she started walking, climbing and clapping. At 12 months old or the big 01 Emily had her 1 year check up. She weighed in at 19 lbs. 4.5 oz. (Hailey was 18 lbs. 14 oz.) and was 29 1/2" long where as Hailey was 27 3/4" long. Just a little bit bigger than her big sister and is running along the average range. Emily also had to get some more shots, 3 to be exact and she cried of course, but mommy made it all better. Emily has mastered her walking by now and is all over the place. We can't stop her now. She has also improved on her climbing and getting herself down from the couch or when she is in your arms so we have to watch out. She is such a little daredevil and makes everyone laugh at home and day care. Emily also loves to copy our actions or better yet when we are yelling. She thinks it's hilarious. She has started to bring us things and we tell her thank you and she gets a kick out of that as well. Emily is saying Mama, Dada and makes the sounds for thank you. She also beginning to push Hailey out of the way when she wants me. Missy sassy pants Emily. One more thing she is beginning to get her top teeth in and all four are trying to come in at the same time with one poking through already. With that she is loving to eat and try everything that we are eating. Her favorites are grilled chesse sandwhiches, bread, bananas, green beans, tomatoes, french fries or potatoes for that matter and "somegetti" of course among others. At her birthday parties she enjoyed us singing to her, but not having icing on her face, she cried, so she is her mother's daughter with getting messy. Thank you to everyone that was able to come and for her wonderful gifts, even though she prefered the paper at the time and yes Mindy the "WINNER" the ladybug book. :) Hope you enjoy the montage of our Emmy Boo/Cheeky Monkey/Pumpkin pie/Hotstuff/Emily Kay.
Race for the Cure 2008
On April 29th it was the annual Race for the Cure and this year would make Michelle's and I's 3rd time to go and Hailey's first. We started the morning off at 5:30 AM to get ready and pick up Michelle. We got downtown to the Alamodome about 6:30 AM. It took us about a hour and a half to finish the 5 K (3 mile) walk. Hailey needed a couple of breaks for her short little legs, water & snack. Hailey is ready to do it again next year.
Hailey's 4 year check up & pictures
Hailey had her 4 year check up on March 25th and it was a big milestone for her at the doctor's office. She weighs in at 38 1/2 lbs. and is 37 3/4" tall, so she is still short for her age. Before being weighed in she had to leave a urine sample for the doctor and she didn't understand why so that was pretty fun. Eventually we got it accomplished the next day and I had to make an extra trip to the doctor's office. Along with the peeing in a cup they tried to check her hearing and eye sight, but again she was not very cooperative. After all that my poor baby had to get to four shots (two in each leg). She asked me why they did that to her. That right there broke my heart, but she got two stickers and felt a little better.
Emily 10 months old
Turning 10 months old was another eventful month for Emily. The day she turned 10 months old we finally got her ears pierced. Everyone that walked into Claire's were so worried about her crying, but I told them that she would be ok and she won't remember a thing. :) Emily also got another tooth in as well as taking her first step and she finally decided to hold her own bottle.
Hailey's 4th Birthday
Hailey had a great 4th birthday this year. She made out like a bandit with all of her gifts from everyone. We thank you again for coming out to celebrate Hailey's birthday and for all of her gifts. It's a little long, but please enjoy Hailey's birthday pictures. See you next year!!!
Hailey's 1st day in Pre-K
Hailey moved to the Pre-K class AKA Ms. Dee Dee's class on February 25th (2 weeks before she turned 4). Her school said she is ready for the move, but I wasn't. I teared up watching her go to her new classroom. I'm such a sap now. Moving on, they say she is too smart for her own good and would do well in the big kid class. With the move, Hailey now has to wear "unicorns" (uniforms), gets her own desk with her name on it and has homework. She will stay in Pre-K for this semester and plus be in there all next year. This way she will have a semester up on the other kids that move to Pre-K next year. With the curriculum in her school they start the children off by learning cursive. I was afraid at first of their process of teaching the children, but I'm OK now with the meeting we had about the curriculum and confident my Hailey boo will do just fine.
Emily's 9 month check up
Emily had her 9 month check up on Febuary 20th and she is developing right on track. She is 17 lbs. 10 oz. and is 27 3/4" long. Hailey was 16 lbs. 14 oz. and 26" long, so needless to say Emily is going to be taller than her older sister. Luckily Emily didn't need any shots this time around, so no hard knots or fever. Turning nine months old was a big month for Emily. She is crawling all over the place, standing up with help of the furniture and a little by herself, waving (cutest thing I have ever seen), sleeping in her crib all night long & she got her first tooth (unlike Hailey who got her first tooth at 1 years old). Emily will be running around with her big sister in no time.
Let's Rodeo San Antonio
Michael and I were able to go to the rodeo twice this year (two date nights-whoo hooo) and had a great time and then on the last day we took the girls and my nephew Cristian to the grounds.
Emily 7-8 months old
Emily is getting so big, she learned how to crawl so she is all over the place and getting into everything she can get her hot little hands onto. She is learning the phrase, no, no, no, but just smiles when we say it. Emily loves doing whatever Hailey is doing and loves to just watch her big sister.
Christmas Video's
The video starts at MaMa & PaPa Ney's house the weekend before Christmas and then Christmas morning at our house. Again the video thing is new to us, so we will have it up soon too. We promise.
Hailey's Dance Recital 12-16-07
I'm sorry, but we are still working on getting her recital put on our blog. It's a little difficult because we have to use the DVD we paid for by the professional company. Please stay tuned and I will let you know when we have it ready for you.
