The Daily Hailey

Ok. Here’s the thing. I’m not very good at keeping memory books for my kids. I have one for each kid, and I have some info in all of them. But I’m not as diligent as I could be. I’ve spent a decent chunk of time beating myself up about it, but not too long ago, I realized that this is our records. This is our memory book! So whether one day I go back and find all the little details of my kids milestones and put them in their books, or I give up and hope my kids just read these books and find the info themselves, it is recorded. Unfortunately, I didn’t start the blog until Dekker was around 10 months old, so I don’t have all of his first year on record. But he has the most in his memory book, so hopefully it all levels out 🙂

I’ve been doing monthly updates on Waverly, which I’m really enjoying. I almost feel like I should do a “Whats my Kid up to” post each month on the corresponding day they were born. Thoughts?

Anyway, because I’m doing monthly updates on Wavy, I tend to hang onto info abut milestones until the 2nd of the next month, but I also want to have the exact date on record, and in this case, I’m just too excited! Hahaha! Don’t judge me. Its a mom thing.

I mentioned on November 24 that Wavy had cut her first tooth. Now that tooth was like a teeny tiny bit poking out for a couple of days already, but when it really pushed through was when I counted it. It was out almost all the way across. On the 26th, she went to bed with most of that tooth poking through her little gums and woke up on the 27th with TWO teeth completely through!!

Was SO awesome! She felt SO good about herself, too. Not complaining at all!

She continues to chew away at her hands, happy as a clam. I wonder how many more are on their way out! Our kids tend to teethe in twos, and the first four are often pretty back to back. Give yourself a rest, Wavy girl! I know you’re a pretty top notch individual and all, but you do NOT have to be an overachiever at such a young age!!
