Hailey's trying new things...

Hailey spent "2 weeks" in Bullhead City, Arizona with Daddy and Nana. The week before leaving, Hailey was really sick (her first double ear infection) and I bought her a baby doll... her "first" baby doll. Hailey loved it.. I (Mama) missed her tons and wanted her to have some new "grown up" things when she got home. This is her doll and a new playpen I bought for the doll. She loves it! She rocks the baby 'nigh nigh,' carries it around the house, and plays with the butterflies on the playpen.

tucking in her baby doll...

a silly picture of Hailey in her pj's:

Hay and Mama...

showing off her dinosaur and new "corn popper..."

"giving kisses" to her dinosaur she sleeps with...

feeding her "1st Baby Alive" baby doll.. it makes sucking sounds, giggles, and even 'toots...'

We've taken Hay out of her crib (playpen). She's now sleeping on a BIG GIRL mattress.
She rolls around and sleeps everywhere but the mattress... it's funny! (you'll see in pic's to come)

Hailey now sits in a BIG GIRL seat at the dinner table! No more highchair...

I asked her to smile and this is what she did:

Talking on the phone already!

Dancing to Primary songs...
Showing Mama her favorite car...
Playing her Xylophone...
Playing "catch" with Mama... Hailey has a pretty good throw for a 22mo old!
She LOVES to play catch!
When you ask Hailey to make her "squishy face..." this is what you get:

Hailey has really grown a ton the past few months. While in Bullhead with Daddy, she started saying "Bless You (bleth you)" when you sneeze, every time! Hailey has very nice manners. She's such a sweet little girl.. with a 'tude when she doesn't get her way. We finally made it to the Pediatrician. Hailey is now 28lbs and 34 inches. Her weight/height are exactly proportionate and she's now in the 75-90th percentile for height. She's a very tall little girl.. just like her big sister. This summer Hailey discovered she LOVES V8 juice. It's one of her favorite drinks... has a glass/can nearly every day. It's so funny how much she likes it, drinks it quickly every time. She had to get caught up on her immunizations. I felt bad :( they gave her "6" shots in her legs two days ago. She cried so hard she wasn't breathing while getting the shots... but once it was over, I picked her up and hugged her and immediately she stopped crying. They put band aids on both legs... within 30 seconds... Hailey had literally ripped them off! She hates band aids. She's done pretty well.. felt a little sick. She got sick on her pillow last night. I went in to check on her. She had scooted to the end of her bed and was telling me "meh mama, meh" (mess mama, mess). She runs everywhere, is bruised on her legs and head from clumsiness every day... but is a very tough little girl. She still loves Elmo, Clifford, Cars, and we just discovered she likes the movie "Winnie the Pooh."
