Hailey's One

Yes, it was almost two weeks ago but now I have some time. We went to the doctors Monday and Hailey is 19.4 lbs, 30", and 27 centimeters around her head. Putting her in the 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles respectively. She has passed all of her milestones. I will try to tell you only the new things she can do since last month. She can blow kisses, tickle you, (and herself, strange child) she can flap her "wings" and bock like a chicken, and she is walking fairly well. Her new words are clock, push it, book, banana, bath, the bug, (daddy's nickname for her) no, yes, baby, and button. (a lot of B words but they are obviously different, like Banana is "nana") She is getting so big. She is also way more fun now that she is mobile. Alex and I feel truly blessed to have her in our lives. Happy Birthday Hailey!

Happy Birthday Hailey!

We went to Disneyland with Alex's Brother and Sister-in-law. We had a lot of fun. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY HAILEY! I will do a more birthdayish blog when I am not so tired.

She's Walking!

Last week for family home evening Hailey decided she would do some walking. This is the best video we could get. She's pretty well balanced because she's been standing on her own for a couple of months now. She only walks about 8 steps or so before she decides she likes crawling more and kneels down to crawl.

Disneyland!

A week ago Hailey and I went to Disneyland in the morning with Charlye and Denise so that we could see the new stuff on Small World. First of all, Hailey and I always have the best time when we go with any Gause's because they are about as AWEsome as it gets. Second of all, Small World's changes are great! It actually makes it worth going on once a year instead of once a decade. Seriously, for those of you who live close, go and keep your eyes peeled.

Hailey loved the pooh ride:

Disneyland always makes Hailey tired:

We didn't stay too long, we wanted to get home to see daddy:

And somehow Denise didn't end up in any pictures. Maybe next time. I need to remember to take more pictures and of more interesting parts of our days. We have a busy week ahead, so maybe we'll get some really great pictures up soon! Until then here is more cuteness than your face can handle:

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.
