Hailey.... June 2009


Hailey...July 2008

Born Beach Baby

Yesterday on my day off we went back down to the poo/beach. Hailey really loves it there. I made sure Hailey was covered in the sunblock but forgot to cover myself so I am a little burned now. I am sure I will be ok by tomorrow. They have 2 big water slides there too and we went down those. In that same area they also have this big water tower that dumps, well I should say pounds, the water onto anyone standing below it. I almost fell down when it dumped where we were standing and poor Hailey fell and bumped her head. We will know next time to not stand near there.

She is definitley a beach baby. She loves it!!

She was "watering the flowers"

time for a drink break!

Just adorable.....

She always has so much fun that it is normally a crying scene when its time to leave and she is totally exhausted but too tired to sleep on the way home.

We have had a few times this week where she just would not nap. I am hoping that she is not giving up those naps. She NEEDS those naps. Hopefully it is just something she is going thru.

Almost Wordless Wednesdays.....

Not much happening....Glenne started his summer vacation this week. So far they have not done anything exciting...park,etc! We have been getting Hailey telling us more often when she has to go potty and she actually goes so we are having more successes!


Max....a little over 6 mos old!

Palm Beach at Moody Garden's in Galveston

Yesterday (sunday) we went to Moody Gardens in Galveston (http://www.moodygardens.com/). They have an area there that is a beach/pool area. We spent most of our time here. We also got there mid afternoon so by the time we got settled it was after 2pm. Hailey could not wait to play in the sand and go swimming. She was so excited. The pool is the walk in kind so she was able to walk in and out and not hit deep water right away. She was concentrating so hard playing in the sand. Such a big difference from last summer at the beach, last summer we had to sit in the sand and play with her where this time she played by herself. I forgot the camera so these were taken with the camera phone.


Playing in the sand....we had to keep getting her to sit under the umbrella.
Walking to the water to fill her bucket to get the sand more wet.

dumping the water....if we let her she would have done this the whole afternoon

Playing in the water....she loved it

Mommy and Hailey playing at the edge of the water...she had to make sure she was sitting ON the sand!

Playing in the water/sand

More playing in the sand and water.......

We went to see an Imax about Dinosaurs....Hailey did good but it was not keeping her attention. It was not really for little kids. We did not stay for the whole thing. She liked the big glasses.

Thanks for looking!

Stealing Mommy's Salad

One night last week Glenne and I had a big bowl of salad for dinner and Hailey had something else since salad is not something she would eat a lot of. She had eaten all of her dinner then when I had gotten up from the table to put her dish in the sink she leans over to my bowl of salad and proceeds to eat it. Normally we cannot get her to eat much salad at all but she thought it was so funny that she got my salad and was eating it. I had to pull it away from her to eat the rest and she leans in with her fork and helps herself to more while I am eating.

She had the bowl up to her chest and was really enjoying it.

One day I will get a full meal to myself.....I hope!

Fun Weekend

Friday we went to the drive in again. UP was playing and it was a night out. Hailey enjoyed the movie and did well considering its her bedtime when it starts. She loves movies and stays focused on the movie for her age.

Saturday I worked and later that night Kandi and Chris came over without Kenzie. We played some games and got to have a nice visit with friends without kids interupting. Hailey had gone to bed before they got here.

On sunday we went to Old MacDonald's farm. They have farm animals that you can feed, pony rides, train ride, swings,etc. Hailey had a great time and loved the pony ride. She was not too sure about the animals eating from her hand but did pretty good. It was a very hot day as you will be able to see in the pictures of Hailey all red cheeked and sweaty and full of curls.

Hailey and Daddy in the Farm cut outs(the wholes needed to be a little bigger)
Feeding the baby goats.

The one on the bottom right of the picture was just hunched down on his knees.

Taking a pony ride.....she did great holding on and was not afraid at all

She looks like a pro, doesn't she?

This turkey was just walking around, Hailey kept going to him and yelling "hi turkey" and started folowing him around.

FFeeding the Wallaby.....she had some issue with keeping the food cupped in her hand

These deer were just roaming around and we were able to just walk right up to them.

Finally getting it to keep the food in her hand to feed the animals

This deer had an attitude..could have had something to do with Hailey pulling its ear when she walked up to it. She fed him then he leaned into her and nipped at her shirt. I do not think he wanted to be bothered. We distracted her and moved on after that. *no he did not get her skin or anything...just grabbed her shirt**

Waiting for the train to go....she was very patient.

We were still waiting.....it was not a long wait, but to a toddler it is forever!

After we left we went and got a small pool from walmart. After Hailey's nap we went in. The water was cold and Hailey was almost purple and chattering as she was talking but still insisted on staying in the pool. We set it up on the patio for that day till we could clean up the yard of max's mess and mow. This weekend we will put it out in the yard and the water will be warmer. It amazes me that kids will just keep on playing in the pool even when they are freezing!
