Summer fun

Since my last post we've been pretty busy but Hailey handled it like a champ! We went to the zoo, metro town and Ikea, Deep Cove, Harrison hot springs and sight seeing around Vancouver area (including west van area).
At the zoo she had a lot of fun. She liked the parrots and the hippo feeding! She also got a little over tired from all the stimulation during the days prior so she had a bit of a hard time napping. She did eventually fall asleep in her stroller and also later in the carrier:) I think it's also because she loves being able to roll in her crib while she's sleeping hence she loves napping in her crib! I always see her try to turn in her stroller but she can't so it frustrates her to bits and she fights the carrier like there's no tomorrow but I am happy she finally let herself nap. Here is a pic of the cute little outfit her dad got her at the zoo.

Harrison hot springs was sooooo much fun! I can't even explain how proud I am of how she handled it especially after such a busy week! She fell asleep on her own in a strange place to her and slept all through the night..such a girl good:) She had a blast in the pool with her new floaty and also at the splash park. We also spent a bit at the lake where she played with some of her toys. The second night she woke up a couple of times because there was some noise and banging that woke her up. After it settled down she was ok and slept the night.

Aside from that we did a lot of sightseeing which was fun too :) She's tried some new foods as well, like watermelon (including trying some watermelon sorbet), turkey and apricot. Her appetite has also doubled!! A couple of weeks ago I had made a months worth of food for her, and suddenly she just started eating way more than normal so that food was gone in a couple of weeks! She now eats about 2.5  ice cube tray sized portions - 3 times a day along with her bottles, including a bit of snacking and water in between! Growth spurt much!

One of the best improvements that I've noticed over the past month is that her reflux is FINALLY going away. Thank GOD! She still does spit up here and there like a normal baby, but at least it isn't after every burp, after every meal. I no longer have her constantly wearing a bib and the laundry has gone down quite a bit as a result. So happy about that.

What else is new?? She is waving hi..not all the time but if we're persistent she does, she can stand against the couch without help, she claps her hands more often, and her hair is thickening a bit. (Although she has spit up a bit today lol) Here's a pic of her practicing her standing! Love you Hai-bear
