The Jeffords: 8 months, sick and Fall!

Still loves legos!!!!!!!!!!

So fun!!!

Haddie and her brothers...this is the night she turned 8 months old....as you can tell this month we have gone from shorts to sweaters to shorts and back to sweaters!

Marshall helping out his sister!

Better late than never right?!?!? So Haddie is 8 months 28 inches and 19.?? pounds---both in the 77%....(in 2 days she will be 9 months....but who is keeping track!!?!?!) At 8 months she is super healthy minus the one illness we will get to in a minute. At 8 months she is crawling (she still keeps her belly on the ground but is getting closer to popping it up) even so...she is FAST! This little lady know how to move! She gets to where she wants...she really prefers to get close to outlets and cords, so we have to keep a super close eye on her! She is still SO smiley and happy...and has the biggest and best giggles! She LOVES to eat....she likes her purees but she also likes to eat what we are eating---however even though she tries hard, I am not sure how much she gets in her mouth....tonight after we got her out of her highchair, it looked as if she was storing all the noodles and peas we had fed her! 2 nights ago, she popped her first tooth! Bottom left :)

So, back to the illness...you would not know from this picture...but our poor baby got hand foot mouth----oh the WORST virus of all time!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course it struck when Aaron was out of town. Thursday night I put her down after giving her some tylenol (I had noticed she had a fever....but I thought maybe it was teeth). She feel asleep and about 11pm she woke up and screamed and cried until 4:30 am.....I never once put her down during this time. She had a temp of 102 and just was in SO MUCH pain.....fast forward to morning...I was supposed to go to be up by 5:30 am to get ready for work however with no sleep, a sick baby and a husband who was gone I called in. Marshall and Brayden went to sitter/school and Haddie and I to the DR where it was confirmed. The poor girl had a throat full of sores....so it was motrin and tylenol every 3 hours for about 2 days. Aaron made it home Friday night after quite the fiasco at the airport....and thank goodness because 24 hours with 3 kids, no help and no sleep....I was ready to lose my mind. All in all...we made it....and somehow, this picture here...is when she was sick!

Hanging out after school one night....crawling

smiling

and being silly!!!

The other night the boys begged me to let them take a bath with Haddie, Aaron said it was a terrible idea....but hey they won't be able to do it for long...so I said yes! So here are 3 Jeffords in a tub....rub a dub dub!

SHE LOVES the bath...I cannot get her clothes off fast enough and if we let her (and she could do it) she would hop in the tub. When the water starts, her little legs just go and go! Tonight she was so excited she peed all over the rug!

This past weekend Grandma and Grandpa Jefford came to visit. They wanted to see Brayden's soccer game, but due to bad weather it was canceled. We still had fun hanging out though, and the boys got to open their birthday gifts early---just the beginning of all the festivities!

Both boys got awesome puma outfits. Brayden got a cool Lego Movie lego structure---the think tank

Marshall got a helicopter

Then what a great way to end the weekend....we headed to Stade Farm and had a blast. The kids saw tractors, flying pumpkins, and a petting farm. They went on fun slides, a train, rides, and a jumpy pillow. We could have stayed all day! It was awesome!!!!
