Hailey and Mathias!

Hailey loves having buddies. Our friends Wes and Susana came over last week and Hailey was so excited to have a bouncing buddy. Mathias got in that bouncy house - cast on his leg and all. They both had so much fun!! The first three pics are of Hailey waiting for them to come over. She was so excited!

Fun in the Sun!

Scott found a super cute pool for Hailey to cool off in this summer. She loves it. She is always trying to kiss the dolphin!!

Catching Up

So I am a little behind, so here is a little catching up...

Hailey was so proud to give daddy her card on Father's Day, she colored it all by herself and when it was time to give it to him she got all embarrassed and shy and wouldn't look at him. She finally gave him a hug and said "I wuv you." Melted my heart.


We had a great 4th of July! I made honey barbecued chicken, corn on the cob and pasta salad. It was so yummy. I made corn cookies for Hailey (I cut off the corn from the cob and they make little "cookies") but she was so mad that she didn't get what mommy and daddy had - I turned my head for a moment and she stole my corn on the cob with the cool holders and just went crazy. She ate the whole thing all by herself!! We then walked out to the top of our hill and enjoyed the free fireworks show with the perfect view, Hailey slept through most of it though. When she was awake she would say "so cool" and "piddy" (pretty). It is so fun to hear her say things now!

Hailey loves to make us laugh. In the picture below she emptied out her favorite toy, my 150 set of cookie cutters, and started making funny faces in the container, she thought it was so fun to sneak up on us and make the silly face and then giggle and run away. I love it - best entertainment ever!!

Hailey has been putting herself down for naps lately, she has become resistant to us putting her down. Sometimes I just laugh at where she ends up. It's funny because she HATES blankets on her in her crib. There can be nothing in her crib when she sleeps or she gets so mad, but when she puts herself to sleep on the couch, she will cover herself up, even when it is 90 degrees outside.

So we got Hailey this super, duper, ultra fun bouncy house thing. She lives in it. It has been a great investment and not expensive at all because we shop at ghetto Walmart :) I love me my Walmart!!

I love the static - her hair goes crazy!!

Hailey loves to point out Tinkerbell everywhere we go. I finally found Tink pj's and she was so excited she wanted to wear them all day, and she was mad that she had to wait until bedtime. She is so proud of them, each time she wears them. Heaven forbid that they are in the wash because she refuses to wear any other pajamas to bed.

We always have wildlife walking through our yard. One day this guy just walked right up to the door. Hailey got so excited she could hardly contain herself, she banged on the window and jumped up and down and the deer just continued to eat my favorite tree (it turns the most beautiful colors in the fall). Hailey does not quite understand why she can't have the deer though and gets so sad when they leave, she blows kisses, says "bu-bye deer" and pouts for a few minutes until she realizes she still has a bouncy house to play in.

Big Girl Undies!!

We are starting to potty train Hailey so we bought her some Tink undies. She gets so excited to put them on and she poses so we can take her picture. She knows when she has to go but there is not much warning so we know she is not quite ready yet but she loves to go on the potty and she is so proud when she does - she always claps for herself. She also realized that she can remove her undies if she wants to, hence the last picture - I just love baby booty!!

Washing the Car With Daddy

She had so much fun washin' the car with Scott. At first she just wanted to play in the water (which she calls wally) but then she became very intrigued by what daddy was doing, so she followed him around and copied what he did.

What Happens When It's Quiet?

This is what happens...

She was so proud of herself and wore this outfit for about an hour. So cute!!

CURLS!!

I love that Hailey's hair has started to get these beautiful natural waves and little curls. She definitely gets that from her daddy because mommy's hair is stick straight. It is so cute but sometimes it doesn't know which way to go and we can't get her to leave her hair things in very long, so most of the time we just let it go wild and hope people don't think our daughter looks like we don't try. I can't wait until it gets longer!!
