Hailey's Half Birthday!!

Hailey was 6 months old last Wednesday!! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Scott and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful baby girl. On her half birthday (April 22nd) we gave her some pears to celebrate. She has had veggies and rice cereal but we held off on the fruits until she was 6 months. She loved it!! We also bought her a pretty dress, so of course I had to take pictures of her in it. Everything is fascinating to her, a leaf, the grass - I just love to watch her discover new things. Sometimes when I look at her I see such thought and wisdom, I wonder if her spirit is older than mine. I can't wait until she talks, I just know she has so much to teach us. I have the most wonderful, precious, beautiful baby EVER!!!

I Am Such A Cow

Since I have gone back to work, I have been pumping 3-4 times a day for the last 12 weeks. I thought it would be interesting to keep track of how much I pump. As of today, I have pumped almost 5 gallons of milk!! That is absolutely crazy to think about. And that is just what I get at work - that doesn't include what I make when I am feeding her at home. The human body is AMAZING!! Although pumping does make me feel like a bit of a bovine - it is totally worth it!!

Our Outing In Seattle

We went up to Seattle today so I could make up 3 hours of work and spend the day in Seattle since it was a beautiful day. Hailey helped out at my desk.

We then walked up to Pike Place and walked around for a bit.

Then we walked to a scenic view of the waterfront - which Hailey slept through :)

We ended the day with having dinner at Ivar's - watching the seagulls and the fire boats...

...and blowing bubbles. It was a super fun day!!
