growing up....

So our little girl is just doing so many new things. she has learned how to pull herself up onto her knees and loves to try and get our dvd player, if she is scooting (not really crawling yet) towards something she can't have and we tell her no or say uhah she looks at us for a minute and then she tries to move towards it faster, she loves to get on her hands and her feet so she is like an upside down v and rock back and forth, she loves her little tikes outdoor swing, she loves to walk around when we hold her hands :) she takes a couple of steps and then stands and does like a little hula dance and and then takes a few more steps, she loved going swimming in great grandma's pool, she has learned the words (up) and (hugs), she loves to hug her stuffed animals and squeeze them really tight and lets out a high pitched scream, she has developed different (calls) for Eric and me, she says lots of different sounds, but nothing cognitivaley yet (mmmmmmmmmmmmammmma) was finally one of them :) she can go from a crawling to a sitting position and back again,and can sit up from a laying down position, she loves to (read) books meaning she opens them and turns the pages and makes sounds as she does it, and she is working on giving high fives :) i just can't believe how much she is growing up :) it is all so exciting :)oh also her top teeth are coming in, the teething stage is no fun, but it is going better than when she got her bottom two so that is good. oh and one more thing she loves to play with our puppy dog Rusty she lays down and pats her hand at him until he comes over to her with a toy and then they play tug a war with it or he runs away and she scoots after him and she is learning to roll his ball to him :) it is so much fun to watch :) we love you Hailey :)
