11months

Well yesterday Hailey turned 11 months old. We love her so much. Her new favorite thing to do is get her little purse and put things in it and show you what is inside and then take them out as fast she can throwing them everywhere. She absolutely loves to carry things wherever she walks, especially her purse. She also loves throwing a ball to our doggy and then giggles when he brings it back to her. They keep each other entertained and they are so funny to watch. Rusty (our dog) is so good with her :) She also loves to get a blanket and use it to play peek-a-boo with. She is really funny because she sometimes tries to put the blanket on her head and misses so like only 1/2 of her head is covered so then she closes her eyes and sits really still (this is about the only time she sits still) I am not sure if she thinks she is hiding or what, but then she will pull off the blanket really fast and give you the cheesiest smile....so so funny. She also likes anything that she can shake and or clank to  make noise, the louder the better :) Oh and the other day I walked into our living room and she had completely undressed herself, diaper, socks and all....crazy baby but there she was climbing into our dogs bed buck naked and then walking around as fast as she could, she looked so happy, but I had to get a diaper back on her. Hailey has also learned how to climb up onto our fireplace and how to get back down safely (thank goodness) she gets up there because that is where we have our terrarium for our leopard gecko (zippy) who is 14years old I have had him since I was 12. Anyways she loves to look at him and watch him walk around. We are trying to get her to say lizard or zippy, but no luck yet. Ok so that's our little update for her. We love you Hailey :)

Hailey is walking

Hey everyone our 10 1/2 month old is walking :) She has been walking by hanging on to people for the last couple of months, but today she took her first steps all by herself !!!! The best part is that we were at Hailey's great grandma (GG's) House celebrating GG's birthday. GG turned 71 today and Hailey wanted to give her a special birthday surprise by walking for her. It is just so exciting to watch her walk back and forth between us. Thank you to everyone who has helped her practice walking, that is all she has wanted to do the last couple of weeks is hang onto anything she can and walk, and I have made sure to carry my video camera everywhere and it is a good thing too because we were able to catch her first steps on camera :) We love you sweet girl, congratulations on taking your very first steps!!!! Love ya!!!!

Water water water

Hailey has been so cute lately. She loves loves loves to swim in her little pool. She just splashes all around and stands up and plops down so that she can make the water splash really big. She loves getting it on her face and then just starts to laugh. She also loves to splash at our puppy dog Rusty when he runs by. She also loves playing in her toy floaty car inside the house, she crawls in and out of it and loves to beep the horn on it. She is just so funny. Everyday is full of new laughs and joys. We love you sweet girl!!!!

just some new stuff : >

Hey everyone our little baby girl is almost 10 months old. It just goes by so fast. We have been so blessed by our sweet girl, she makes us smile and laugh everyday. Some new things she is doing are.... standing on her own for about 10 seconds like she uses an object to help herself stand and then she will let go and smile and give a little giggle, looking at pictures and recognizing people in them, she says Jesus when we show her his picture :) Getting very clingy to her mama (I feel so loved :  > ) She is learning how to use a spoon and tries to feed herself which ends up in a huge mess, and she just loves loves water. We go outside to water our grass and flowers and she loves to try and catch the water coming out of the hose or the water that drips off of our hanging water pots. When she touches it she giggles and splashes it even more and when it gets on her face her whole face lights up and she gets the biggest smile and makes the funniest laugh ever :) We just love her so very much and each day brings new joy and surprises!!!! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer :)

cookerella!!!!

Hailey loves to play in thr kitchen and help cook when I am making dinner :) She can't wait for the day that she can taste all the foods and not just the bland plain ones that are baby safe :)

Happy 30th Anniversary to my mom and dad
