Some facts about Hailey:

August Updates~

Mommy and Hailey reading a book!

Hailey loves to smile for the camera. As soon as I take it out of the case, she has a big smile on her face and she usually tries to grab for the camera. It can make for some interesting pictures.

Hailey has transitioned into a "Big Girl" carseat. It is still rear facing but she is no longer in the carrier. I think she likes it!!

First words..

Hailey had just finished eating dinner last night. She was playing with some toys in her high chair and I was in the kitchen washing her bowl and spoon. All of a sudden I heard her say "dada"!!! I screamed and ran into the dining room and she did it again!! It brought tears to my eyes (and not because she didn't say mama first)--she is growing up!! Of course, daddy was not home yet but I called him at work and she continued to say it to him!! It made daddys long day at work a little bit better! When he got home, she did say it to him again- you should have seen the smile on his face---pure joy and love for his daughter!
