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."

Since my camera is still full... here's some more phone pics from last week:

Finally a small smile!!! Puffy eyes from being so tired :(

** Teething at the same time as being sick! **

still not feeling well... 101 Temp all night :(

my poor baby!! Double Ear infection in both ears :(

Hailey's feet grew yet again.
Below are her new shoes size: 6 1/2 xwide!

And.. to the Dr's office we went...

Above: Hailey waiting at the Doctor's office for her appointment...

Hailey has a pretty bad ear infection in both of her ears. She's been up most of the night since Wednesday. Which means, I too, have been up most of the time since Wednesday. I'm exhausted! I haven't been this worn out since Hailey was first born. She's crying, hurting, and just plain miserable. I'm happy we made it to the Dr. today. I got her started on medicine and I'm praying that kicks in very quickly! Nici had mentioned "Night Terror's," in her blog recently and after doing some research on them.. we discovered that describes Hailey at night. She doesn't sleep sound and hasn't from birth. The older she's getting its easier to notice. I can't stand hearing and seeing my baby so upset and scared at night. It makes me cry.. I've really struggled the past few days with her being so sick, too. I guess it's harder to keep yourself composed when you're out of energy. Hailey wanted all the attention at the Dr's office today. Every time the doctor would talk to me, Hailey would pat me on the leg and say "Mama, Mama, Mama..." then proceed to ramble a bunch of baby talk. She was in her stroller.. I finally turned her around to look at the pictures on the wall so I could converse with the Dr. Hailey kept asking for her "Wa wo (water)" and I finally handed it to her. I turned back to get it from her (cause she only takes a sip usually then hands it back) and discovered her pouring the very last drop of a very FULL water bottle on her lap. The whole time she was grinning ear to ear. Then she kept saying "Mama, Meh (mess)" and then would say "ooooh COH (cold)." So the Dr. had to page for paper towels and I quickly cleaned it up embarrassed and a bit surprised at what she did. Hailey did get some basic check up stuff done... she's now 27lbs, 33inches, and has a BIG head (lol.. according to her new pediatrician.) They even remeasured her while filling out the chart to make sure the measurement was correct. Her head is 19inches right now. They said it's not a problem as long as it grows correctly with the rest of her :) She's 50-75th% in her height and 50% in her weight. She's doing well physically (in general) and I'm very relieved to get that news.
