17 months~

It is hard to believe that Hailey blessed our lives 17 months ago! It seems the time has gone so fast. For so long, I could not wait for her to meet her next milestone (rolling over, crawling, sitting up, walking), now I am just wishing she would not grow up so fast! It seems like the last few weeks she has really "blossomed" into a big girl. Some facts about Hailey: - she can say: mama, dada, re (Red), mo (more), na na (no no), uh (up), milk, ju (juice), da (done) - she understands when we are talking to her (if I ask her to go and get her shoes- she finds them and brings back a matching pair, goes and gets her baby when asked) -gives great "high fives" -has 9 teeth (4 top teeth, 2 top molars, 3 bottom teeth) -sleeps from 6:45 to 6:45 -naps from 12:00 to 1:30 (or 2:00 on a good day) -loves fruit (especially bananas, grapes and strawberries) -has become a picky eater- sometimes she will just look at her dinner and decides she does not want to eat it. -likes to dip chicken nuggets and hot dogs in ketchup -attempts to use a spoon and fork -loves to lay on Red's dog bed (not sure why) -loves carrying around her baby -LOVES her pink little tikes car. She will get in the car, sit there for a while, get out of the car, then get back in the car. Whenever she walks through the garage, she ALWAYS stops at her car! -Enjoys going to the park and going down the slides -Goes to Kindercare and loves her teachers (Ms. Trish and Ms. Bobbie) **On a different note, Hailey had her first "accident". She was playing outside at daycare and twisted her ankle on the playground. Ms. Trish comforted Hailey and put ice on it right away. After a few minutes they tried to see if she would put any weight on it-- nope! So, they called Jason and he came and got her and took her to the ER on base. They did x-rays and they came back with no break but a sprained right ankle. She has to wear an ace bandage for 2-3 days and she goes in for a re-check Friday. Tonight she was really tired and cranky but she was walking on her foot just fine. The good thing is babies bones/muscles heal quickly. She will be back to her old self running around in no time! Stay tuned for a current picture!! Jason took the camera with him over the weekend and left it in Tony's backpack : (
