15 month stats~

Hailey is off and running.. We have been waiting and waiting for her to walk and now that she is very mobile, we are wishing she would SLOW down.. This is such a fun age, she is talking to us (mostly babble), enjoys playing with her toys, points to things around the house, stacks 2-3 blocks and has the best temperment!! She is such a happy girl, we are so blessed!
She still sleeps about 12 hours at night, usually 7:00 to 7:00, takes 1 nap in the afternoon for about 1 1/2 -2 hours. Eats all table food and typically anything you give her. She is in the beginning stages of feeding herself. She is interested in using the spoon but not quite sure how to get the food ON the spoon, THEN into her mouth. It is pretty much used for "stirring" her food now.
She wears 18 month tops and 12 month pants. The 18 month pants fit in the waist but the legs are WAY to long.. I wish they made 18 pants in SHORT length.
She enjoys coloring with crayons (or hitting the crayon to make dots on the paper). She also enjoys playing with anything that has buttons. She has a "mild" obsession with buttons. When we were at the doctors office for her visit, she was constanting pressing the buttons on the thermometer that was hanging on the wall. The doctor said she has extremely good fine motor skills for her age.. Must be all the button pushing!

Her stats:
Weight- 21.5 pounds (18th percentile)
Lenght- 29 inches (11th percentile)
Head- 18 inches (50th percentile)

Where has the time gone??

I cannot believe it has been more than 2 months since I last posted pictures.. Where has the time gone?? My apologies!!
Here are a few to sum it up!

She's got that tired look.. It must be from eating all that turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes!!

Christmas Party at VS-31. The fire truck even came for us to look at.

Rather than opening her Christmas present, she will sit on it and push the buttons on the phone.

Birthday Weekend

Hailey had a fun-filled birthday weekend.. She was so excited to open presents from "Aunt Molly" that she was pounding on the box!

We then opened presents from Grandpa Dan and Grandma Debbie! Hailey got a new book to read and lots of cute clothes!!

After Hailey's morning nap, we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. It was a little warm that day but we still had fun!
