Hailey now say's "All done..." when she's done eating and when it's time for her to get out of the bathtub. She's been saying "Da" (Dad) a few days now. We ask her where Dad is and she say's (very loudly) "Da.." while looking in the few places he is usually at. If she doesn't see him, she then crawls to the bedroom looking for him.

Hailey's new eating habits...

We had an interesting day at church. I gave Hailey a bottle and she started choking. It scared me!! I grabbed her, opened her mouth, and found a HUGE piece of dark colored carpet she had tried to chew up and swallow. Yikes! Somehow she snuck it in while I wasn't looking. Shortly after, she continued to try and eat the tires on her stroller. I finally had to put her into the stroller so she couldn't get into any more mischief. The other day we were outside and when she looked up at me a big leaf was hanging out of her mouth. I think she's exploring her options for food :)

Hay can whistle!

Hailey has taught herself how to whistle. She spontaneously will do it throughout the day. As you can see.. a lot of her whistle is just blowing air. However, we DO hear little baby whistles come out quite often.

She loves to whistle!

She's getting big..

Hailey's updates: She now says "Hi, I love you," and "Dada." HOpe you like the new pic's etc that I'm posting... I've been behind due to being busy w/ life :) Sorry! Hailey has been a crawling maniac! She now goes into rooms, follows you, and for the first time I asked her to find Daddy and she crawled into our bedroom and found him right away. We love her!!

Silly Hailey...

We taught Hailey how to wave hi/bye bye. We just discovered that when she's ready to sleep and tired... she waves her little wrist with so much emotion! She thinks it means she is ready for bed. She has also learned how to whistle... will try to video that and post it soon! Here's a pic of her and Uncle Art last month & some pics I just took of her today. You can see her top 4 teeth coming in. She's getting Big!

Hailey is crawling and today said her first word... "Hi"

The video is from my phone. It's not very clear, sorry!
I'll try later to get a better video of her crawling and talking.

Hailey's been trying to crawl for a little more than a month.

She's finally figured it out! She's also wanting to walk...
when we hold her hands she tries. She's just officially said "Hi" today
for the first time! You can faintly hear it on the video. Yay!
Our baby is growing fast!

Hailey updates...

She finally crawled more than two steps today... saw her take at least 6 or 7. Yay! She's acting like she'd rather walk. I walked her across the floor just holding her fingers today. She even moved her legs on her own. She also fed herself a small piece of bread at dinner. She looked at it for the longest time not sure what to do. Then after Daddy showed her, she picked it up and looked at us as if she were in trouble and slowly put the bread in her mouth. She got a huge smile when I told her she did a good job.. was cute. We finally made it into the Wic office for Hailey's 4mo shots! Yes~ she's almost 9mo... its a long story. I'm so happy about it and we'll be going back again in a few weeks for more. She was a champ! She only let out about 3little cries. She looked at me and thought about it for a few seconds and she let out one more very sad cry w/ a few small tears... then she was done. She went back to smiling and chewing on her Binky. By the way, she's cutting not one, two, or three... but YES FOUR teeth at the same time! Yikes.. poor baby. All four top teeth are making a grand entrance at the same time. She's putting up w/ a lot of discomfort this week. Hailey is getting so BIG! Since I haven't been able to take her to the Pediatrician since leaving Boise, I'm not sure how heavy she is. However, she's outgrowing her car seat and I think about due for a new one. She's also getting more proficient at eating random things off the floor.. found something that didn't belong in her diaper earlier today and I had a good laugh. Uncle Art spent the week w/us. Hailey and he had a great time. I'll post a pic soon. Not too much else has changed.
