Lips Like Suga'

Hailey had her first sugar cookie on Valentines day. (I'm probably a bad mom) She loved it!

She had so much frosting on her face, this picture does not do it justice.

I love these overalls, although they have nothing to do with Valentines day.

Alex has been playing with the camera and he got this picture:

I love it because it is the look she has on her face 95% of the time. I just wish the coloring was right, so it would really look like her. The next one is pretty cute too.

Yeah, I am pretty much just showing off my cute baby. But I'm a mom, that's what I do.

Alex's New Hero

I want to live...

in a Frank Loyd Wright house. He is the reason I first stared to fall in love with architecture. His buildings have been featured in several movies, ("Men in Black", the original "House on Haunted Hill", and my personal favorite "North By Northwest," just to name a few) so you might recognize the style. They are seriously amazing. When Alex and I are rich:




Also, if you haven't seen, "North by Northwest," you should stop what your doing and go watch it now. It's definitely my favorite Hitchcock movie.

11 Months!

These are in the order they were taken:















I can't believe it's almost been a year! Hailey is doing so great. She can dance, high five, raise the roof, clap, stick out her tongue, and show you your nose. She cruises like an old school pro and actually took her first two steps yesterday in a desperate attempt to prove she could touch mommy's nose. She says: mom, dad, papa (grandpa), baby, dog, cheese, zipper, uh-oh, tickle, kick, what's that, what is it, bye-bye, all done, hi, and yes. (hopefully I didn't forget any, because Alex will tease me.) She also "sings." She loves to read, type on the keyboard, eat, dance and cuddle. She recently has decided she is shy, so she does not like to show off. (which makes daddy and mommy sad, because we are proud parents!) She has 8 teeth and it is finally starting to look like she might not spend the rest of her existence bald. She is such a cutie!

Another great movie moment!

This is arguably one of the greatest achievements of the movie industry. I fully intend to watch this movie today, in honor of the beautiful weather we've had the past FOUR days. :D

Anybody need a secretary?

Bookworm!

Hailey loves books! She "reads" all the time. Since last October she has been obsessed with books. At first she would always read them upside down but she seems to have finally figured out which way a book should go. She also used to close the book and reopen it as a means of turning the page but about a month ago she figured out how to turn the pages. She "tracks" the words and babbles with inflection. It really sounds (and looks) like she is reading in another language. It is the cutest thing ever, I will have to try and get video of it. She also has these small books that she always carries with her, even as she crawls. We have TONS of pictures, but I'll spare you that. Here's just a few:
