Recently...

Is Mama looking??
what purse?
I don't want you to take my picture!
Earlier that day:
I asked Hay to smile.. this is what she did:
Nana taught Hailey how to make this "stink-eye" face...
putting on Mama's Burts Bee's Chapstick...

Our weather has taken a dramatic turn... this storm was about a week ago!


I've only seen rain like this twice since moving to Vegas.


Hailey's first "TV Dinner..."


notice she ate the pudding first... Yum!

1st Haircuts... and BIG GIRL beds...

I finally got Hailey into the Beauty Parlor.
Hailey before her first haircut:
Lora begins to work her magic...

Hay was very good! She LOVED the giant mirror in front of her... kept making silly faces at herself making Lora laugh pretty hard at times!

Lora does a great job... she cuts my hair...

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

Look at all that hair! It's curly, too...
Lora played with her hair.. this is the finished product:
When Hay got down, she saw all her hair on the floor (quite a bit of it). In her squeaky little voice she said over and over "Uh.. oh.." and then she said "Meh, Meh.. (mess, mess) Yuck!" Its was funny.
Hailey no longer sleeps in a play pen. When she got home from Bullhead, I pulled out her Toddler mattress to sleep on.
I was given a Toddler frame for FREE! Hay LOVES it...
The other night, I heard "Uh-oh.. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.." I went to check on Hay.. her legs and bottom were in the air, she was facing head first to the floor, and holding herself up by her arms, stuck. Her blanket had fallen off the bed and she was trying to get it and got stuck.

So far, Hay has fallen out twice.

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."
