Big girl bed

Hailey got a big girl bed this past thursday! She sleeps in a reg bed for naps at home in our bed and at grandmoms. We got her new princess bedding and a princess bed that is twin size so it will last her a long time. She absolutely LOVES her new bed.

The first night when I was making her bed she took the new blanket and her pillow and laid them on the floor of her bedroom door way...closed her eyes and pretented to snore. It was so funny. Glenne was putting together the bed rails to keep her from rolling off together so we did not have a camera handy to video it.


I need to take some better pics of her room, but we need to do some rearranging of the wall decorations..when we get that done i will post better pics. Here are some inital ones of the bed itself.






This one she just looks cute......did not have the regular camera handy so these are from the cell phone.




We are doing some rearranging around the house so when we get it all done and reorganzied i will post some real pics for you all!

video

Here is a video of Hailey and I in her room. I was reading a new favorite book to her and she was singing along with me. The video is from Glenne's cell phone so its not the greatest.

Enjoy!

18mos check up

Hailey had her 18 mos check up on 5/28. She did great at her appt besides screaming bloody murder when she got her shots. She weighs 25lbs and is 31in tall. She is in the 25th percentile for her height (not surprising with how short her parents are!) and she is in the 75th percentile for her weight. She gave the dr a hard time when she was trying to see her teeth. She is doing great health wise and she is on track developmentally too. We got to answer yes to all the developmental questions they ask!!

We go back at her 2 yr check up. They did say that potty training is best to start at 2yr or later cause she doesn not know the feeling of when she has to go yet.

She is babbling up a storm now. She is saying a lot more stuff, sometimes we dont know what but its a work in progress. She is home with daddy this summer and they are taking swimming lessons the end of june and the 1st week in july. We are going on vacation on july 12th and grandmom and grandpop are coming to texas and going with us. She is really getting quite an imagination now. She is starting to play by herself a lot more and she loves to be read to. She is playing with her toy phone alot and sits there and says "elllooo" and then proceeds to babble like she is talking to someone. Its too cute. She has a little doodle etch a skecth thing on her one toy and is starting to play with that a lot more too. We got her some blocks and she is staring to play and stack those too.

Till next time.......

baby ducks

Hailey loves ducks and loves for us to take her to go feed the ducks. The small airport by us has a lake and you can fish and there are lots of ducks there. Yesterday we went there and there was some baby ducks there. Here are some pics of the baby ducks. Hailey was fascinated by them...as were her mommy and daddy.


Baby duck ( this one was yellow and brown)



Another one (this one was all yellow)



Here is the Mamma with her babies

Hailey's newest toy!

Here is Hailey's newest toy. She loves it and she loves being outside too. She likes to pull the grass out and see what kind of reaction she will get from us when she tries to eat it. I am also putting in a few pics of her just cause they are cute from her playing in the yard.

Updates

We have a lot of words that Hailey is trying to say now. She is very independent and wants to do EVERYTHING herself. She has gotten 2 molars on the bottom right and left side. The left has finally come all the way thru (i think) and I noticed tonight that the right one is breaking thru pretty good too. She does not have time for naps anymore. We get one nap a day now......we are working on timing as far as when she goes down for that one.

Some words she says :
ball
duck...and of course after that comes quack quack
moo
dog...and of course after that comes ruff ruff
more
up
two
mail (in a wailing tone like on blue's clues)
boo (for blue and boo boo)
stop
no
daaaaaaaaaaad
mommmma
mo (for elmo)
make the monkey noise
clap

I am sure I am forgetting some...I did ask Glenne and that is all that we can come up with but feel there is more. She understands a lot that we say to her. She can point out her nose (and has recently discovered that she can put her finger up it...UGH), ears, eyes, hair, mouth, fingers, toes, belly. She can walk backwards. She likes to brush her hair and everyone elses. She uses ANYTHING as a phone and is always yelling for Daddy. If it has a button, she finds it. She has this uncanny hearing so when the refrigerator door opens she is right there climbing in and discoving that part of her world. She is starting to color and really enjoys it. We think her head has a built in helmet cause she is constantly hitting-especially on our headboard- and still is a normal kid. She like to take any rag, napkin, papertowel and clean everything.

Glenne is naming absolutely everything now but its a lot...and all normal stuff. I am giving you guys the highlights, the fun stuff.

We are looking forward to our vacation in july....we cannot wait to see Hailey on the beach and in the ocean.

I have a few more pics I need to post. I will get to it in the next few days....if not tonight.

Stopping to smell the flowers

Our favorite resturant we go to for breakfast has a gazebo on the side field next to their resturant. We will go there and let Hailey walk around, she likes the noise that the wood makes as she stomps her feet on it. She now enjoys smelling flowers so she does that when we are playing in the gazebo. These pics were taken with my cell so if they are not that great that is why!
