So Hayden had her 4 month well check last week and she is doing great! She is 13#6 and 25 inches long. She is a rolling machine and has really started using her hands. Her toes are pretty cool too! She smiles all of the time and drools all over every thing including her sister (she happens to think it's pretty gross but still loves all over her). I have decided to delay vaccinations with her until 6 months and her doctor was supportive of my decision. She will get one vaccine a month after she turns 6 months. We will see what happens. Funny little side note though, the Tylenol I have her before her seizure was just recalled for the concentration being wrong. Makes you wonder. Now Sydney on the other hand has had a really rough month. We have all been sick for months and she has had this persistant horrible cough that would not go away. I pretty much chalked it up to a virus until Kayleigh (my friends 3 year old for those of you who don't know her) was hospitalized for RAD (restrictive airway disease - or what they call an asthma flare for those who have not been officially diagnosed). She learned that one of the top signs of asthma is persistant cough. So I started wondering if all of this coughing was something more than just a lingering cough from the 3 colds we had in 2 months. So I finally took her to the doctor and low and behold she was diagnosed with asthma. She was started on singulair and after no improvement her doctor added an allergy med which also didn't help. So last saturday she got really bad, I took her to urgent care. The doctor there started her on a round of steroids which we finished on wednesday. She also now has an inhaler for when the cough gets bad. So 2 doctor visits an 1 trip to urgent care I think she is on the mend. Hopefully with the inhaler I can nip her cough in the bud before she gets to the point she was last weekend. Thank goodness for insurance because I paid $200 for copays and perscriptions in a week and a half for her. Imagine what it would have been. Oh and in other news we bought a new house!!!!!!! It is in Goodyear and right down the street from a brand new elementary school in the Litchfield School District. We close on the 20th and will probably move the first week in June! It is 3000 square feet which is double what we have now! We will actually have room! I will put up pictures when I get some.

Fun pictures of Hayden
Well just so you know I took these pictures so I didn't spend a dime! I took some cute pictures of Sydney with bunny ears when she was a baby so I had to do the same with Hayden and then she was in such a good mood that we did a couple of outfit changes! The story behind the onsie is that they are actually Sydney's footprints when she was a baby. I made the onsie for my friend Kristi at her baby shower for her first baby Corbin. Then her second baby Keeley also wore it then it was passed on to Hayden! It actually says Sydney's best friend on it. She was about 7 months old when I made it. It is a special treasure for many reasons that I will keep forever!
Easter
Easter was pretty low key at our house this year because we all had the plague for the second and third times! Seriously this is getting very old. Nana and Sydney colored easter eggs while I slept because Hayden was sick and I never sleep well when one of them is sick. The easter bunny did his thing on sunday morning and that was pretty much that for easter for us.

Conversations with Sydney
Sydney: Mama, I love talking. It's my favorite thing to do!
Me: Really honey, I hadn't noticed.
She is too funny.

3 months old!
Sweet Hayden is officially 3 months old! She is trying so hard to talk, smiling up a storm and just this week started to giggle! I love it when she looks at me with a big gummy smile that is just for me. She is really starting to interact with Sydney. She watched her all of the time and Sydney will talk or sing to her and she gives more of her beautiful smiles. She is finally sleeping in her crib (a big step for mama!) and actually slept 6 whole glorious hours last night. She is so sweet and just brings so much joy to our family.
