At 2.75 this one is taking her sweet time with potty training, but she is getting there. We are down to about one accident a day, more if we play outside. This girl definitely knows what to do. She’s still a girlie girl and loves dressing up in her pink cowboy boots and dresses. She’ll […]

Well, this girl is something else! Seems like life just keeps getting more interesting and each new month brings so much growth. I guess that’s what happens with kids. Some of our favorite Hailey lines: Thank you, Daddy. That’s so nice! Baby Brother Ham (she never pronounces an “s” at the beginning of a word) […]
Hailey was super festive the whole week leading up to Independence day. Then this lucky girl got to view a private firework show on the cul-de-sac courtesy of awesome neighbors Emilee, Tony, and Lilee. How perfect to be with friends in a familiar place to enjoy actual fireworks and then be right at home to […]

Favorites Music: Celine Dion, itsy bitsy spider, classical Books: Go Dogs Go Foods: Sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, turkey meatballs, Kashi shredded wheat with berries, juice, fish Toys: Baby dolls, balls, eggs Animal: Dogs We crack up when we catch her telling us or other kids […]
Derby season brings with it some extra fun at day care. One event is the diaper derby, and the teachers paint onesies as racing silks for the kids, complete with their horse name. Hailey’s onesie had the words “Chomp Chomp” on it. Turns out the biting habit is still in full force. Hailey, loves shoes […]
Hailey now has a lot of words, even if only we can understand them. Some of the most commonly used are: bow, cheese, please, thank you, milk, baby, poo poo, and more. Raking: her new favorite activity. Doesn’t matter if the rake is full size. Still loves accessories: shades, bows, necklaces, hats. I’ve found it […]
This past month was a bit of a blur since I had to work a ton and Dan’s work schedule also picked up. Hailey loves books, and she can say “book,” as well as many other words. She has just started wanting to say her words and point out pictures to match anything we say. […]
The theme of this month has been Hailey’s willfulness. I think we are getting a taste of the terrible two’s since she throws a fit whenever she doesn’t get what she wants. We can tell she is frustrated that she can’t just tell us what she wants. It is very endearing when we remind her […]
We spent Christmas with the Harts this year. Grandma put on a fabulous spread of Christmas Eve appetizers and then another feast on Christmas, we all spoiled one another rotten with gifts, and of course Hailey had a blast playing with all her new toys. Dan, Hailey, and I went to church this morning, and […]
I am practicing using the word “daughter.” Hailey still seems like this cute little pet that we take care of and play with, but there’s no avoiding the fact that her personality is starting to shine. She is in fact a little girl, and not just a little baby. That makes me a mom, which […]
Nov13 – Dec12 Big eater Has begun to show preferences. Will shake her head and say “no” in reaction to things she doesn’t want to do. Pointed at Dan and said “dada”. First time connecting the two. Showing a lot of preference to her left hand while eating. Loves to hold her own spoon. Will […]
Another month down. Hailey has had a big month of change. We have a weaned baby! This kid is now sleeping so much better, so the whole family is doing better. She is back to falling asleep on her own in her crib, and this time she enjoys snuggling up with her angel and one […]
Hailey couldn’t decide what to be for Halloween this year. She wanted to be an owl, but Eddie really wanted to be Toto, so Hailey went for a double dose of Halloween costumes today.
Alright….We officially have a toddler. This month has hit both extremes since Hailey learned she can regularly exercise her will and show you how much she loves you. Hailey chose to start walking on a regular basis on her first birthday and she’s getting steadier and steadier. She prefers walking when she has her hands […]
Thanks to everyone who celebrated Hailey’s first birthday with us! We had a blast getting see to everyone over the weekend. To our families, thank you for all the help around the house, all the cooking, and all the decorating. And thanks to everyone for spoiling our little girl with gifts and contributing to our […]
Happy first birthday, little Sweetie Pea! This year has been a whirlwind. It is hard to remember those newborn cries and squirms, the early smiles, the first laughs, and a baby who couldn’t cross the room in a matter of seconds. With all the focus on bringing a baby into the world, I’m not sure […]
Our little sweet heart is now 11 months old. Here is a look back at the previous month and all the things she can do. Her attitude is really starting to show through. She’s developed a whole new arsenal of a little squinty eyed smiles and frowny faces. Little baby snuggles. Hailey has started to […]
Dan thinks there’s a better way to label these posts to make sure it’s clear how old Hailey is and what timeframe we are describing. So just to be clear, Hailey hit the 10 month mark on 7/12, so here are our observations and memories from when she was 9 months old 🙂 Our smiley […]
