Halloween and Firsts

Well, we have had a big week! We took Haleigh trick-or-treating. She was a pumpkin! It was so cute. We really did not go many places. We only went to my mom's, Matt's parents, Uncle Reg's, Grandma Irene and Grand Judy's, but it was still so exhausting!

Matt and I took her to Sky Top Apple Orchard on Sunday. It was so fun! The leaves were so pretty! We took lots of pictures! Haleigh even got to pick some apples and she got to eat some too! Matt gave her an apple that we had tried and when we took it away she cried for 5 minutes. But, the crying stopped when she got into the apples and tried to eat them!

Haleigh got her first tooth on Tuesday this week! She is only 4 & 1/2 months old! But of course she is doing everything early! She also has her first ear infection. :( That is not very fun.

She is liking her baby food! So far she is eating oatmeal, bananas, applesauce and sweet potatoes. We tried peaches, but that did not go very well. Maybe it will be better next time. We just started apple juice too and she LOVES it!

Haleigh's Arrival

Haleigh was born on Sunday, June 15, 2008. Which was also Father's Day. We arrived at the hospital around 10:00pm on Saturday night. They hooked me up to the monitors to track my contractions and watch Haleigh. They admitted me around 1:30 and decided to go ahead and induce. I got the IV with the fluids and medications and of course the epidural. The doctor broke my water around 10:00am. She had to do a quick ultrasound and found out that Haleigh was breech so I was prepped for a c-section.

Haleigh Brooke Henderson was born at 11:26am. She weighed 7 pounds, 3 1/2 ounces and was 20 1/4 inches long. She had red/blonde curly hair and blue eyes. It is hard for me to remember a lot about that day, especially during the c-section, but we have plenty of pictures and video! It is truly a day that we will never forget.
