We're sitting up!

Yes, you read that right! Hailey is sitting up now! She can support herself well. She will sit for a few minutes unsupported. Eventually she topples over and then continues to play with her toys.

Last friday Hailey went to the park for the first time. We went with Carrie Schuessler & kids and Amanda Phillips and her little boy and 4 month old little girl. Hailey got in the swing! She sat in the swing with her legs coming straight out and stiff. lol. Luke Schuessler was in the swing beside her.








Hailey loves to sleep on her stomach. She sleeps with her butt in the air and her hands under her tummy. I just went to get her some more pj's the other day. I got her a couple 6 - 9 month sizes. They are a little big but that's good cause there is room to grow!

Hailey still hates baby food. I give her bananas and apples in a mesh ring and she loves to chew on it. But when I try to spoon feed her or even feed her with my finger, she makes an icky face and spits it out. But then she grabs for whatever Sean and I have!

A couple weeks ago I set Hailey in the bassinet part of her playpen, sitting in her bumbo and she was playing with some toys. From a distance, she looked like she was sitting up by herself. Sean walked in the room and freaked out screaming "Get the camera! Get the camera!" (this was before Hailey started sitting up unsupported) I just started laughing and then he realized she was in the bumbo. Poor guy! He was so excited!!

WORK:
A few weeks ago I was singing the song "God is bigger than the boogy man" I was just so scared about the way work was going. It's a family business. What would we do instead? It's so hard to find a job right now too! I just tried to have faith. Then suddenly we had a lot of people looking for estimates. Soon we should have more work to do!! Thank you God for your provision! I pray for favor on our estimates we are giving out.

FAMILY:
My pop (my mom's dad) is doing very bad healthwise. My family has started making arrangements because he could pass anyday now. My mom has been dealing with everything very well but I think it is starting to take a toll on her. Pop has been in and out of the hospital and hasn't eaten in weeks. He had a stroke last wednesday and now he can't talk at all. Jesus Christ is our savior and my pop has accepted Jesus so I know he is going to be eternally with God. That gives me such a great sense of peace even during a tough time.
