We tried to get Hailey standing up on video...

Playing in the rocks...

(above) Nana did Hailey's hair... silly on purpose!
Hailey's toosh from playin' in the dirt:

playin' with Nana's rocks in the backyard...

Hailey loves to get dirty!

Looks so uncomfortable to crawl around on rocks!

but Hailey never noticed... she just crawled slower and more carefully!

Our silly little girl LOVES to be outdoors!

Hailey has really changed in the past two weeks. She's copying and trying new things every day. The past few day's she's realized how to say "no" to Mama and Daddy." She's also learned if she does tell us "no," she gets into trouble, which has helped her learn how to say "sorry." She's getting to be a little big girl. She likes to help wash herself in the bath. She also likes to help put her lotion on. She still isn't walking much... just a few steps here or there. Her main mode of transportation is still crawling or walking like a bear. This afternoon, we went outside and she played in her walker for a little bit. Pretty soon... we had her out of the walker and she was crawling around on the rocks and loving EVERY minute of it! Hope you like the pics. Oh... Nana did her hair (hee hee) it's very windy today and the "doo" just fit ;)

Random pics

I was folding clothes on the bed this morning. I turned around and this is what I saw:
Hailey was rocking my chair back and fourth while holding onto her bed and standing in her truck. So funny!

I took this picture a few weeks ago... on the way home from the park.

Hailey stole my camera and took her very first picture :)

Baby falls...

The "woe's" of learning to walk...

Hailey pulled herself up to the bathtub yesterday morning and proudly let go, smiled at Mama, and then SMACK!!!!! Her top jaw hit the bathtub edge. It crushed part of her front tooth as you can see in the picture. She looked up at me while crying (her lips covered in broken tooth). I was so scared at first. I expected to see blood. The sound of her tooth on the tub was like a large glass bowl breaking. It made me cringe! I scooped her up and gave her tons of Mama love. I was so happy to not see any blood! Thank goodness. Her gum is VERY bruised above the tooth. She's bumped it a few times with her sippy cup and cried.. but.. she's actually doing much better than I expected. My poor baby! On the way home from work yesterday, Aaron told me she did it again! Only the second time she face planted on the floor instead of trying to eat the tub :(

Hailey's new found love "bananas"

Hailey tried to say 'banana' this morning... sounded like 'blah nana'
