17 Months!

I know I'm a slacker, it's been a crazy month though. Things have finally settled down (more or less) because Alex is back to work. We have been all over the place this month. And I will try to blog about it sometime.

Hailey now has enough hair that she actually has curls in the back. It's pretty darn cute and I no longer feel like she will always be a baldy. :D She has started to talk non stop. She gestures and uses enough real words to make it clear that she thinks she is saying sentences. She knows tons of words and has started to use ones that we have not specifically taught her but she has picked up from us talking. She also is doing short, "sentences." "Let's go," "more _____," "come on," and several others. I've trying to get video of her talking and gesturing because it is hilarious but when she sees the camera, she stops and smiles. She follows instructions, (except no) and always does the "victory dance" when she has done something she is proud of. She loves to dance, sing, read, play in water, jump on things, and learn new things. She does not like to be told no, get dirty, cuddle, or stay up late. (she is her father's daughter) She grows so much each day that it amazes me.

CHEEEEEEEESE!

Gotta love this cheesy smile!

16 Months!

I know I'm a bit late but life is busy! I'm not gonna write all her milestones anymore, I will just say she is a genius, AND I'm not just being biased. ;) She is so fun. She's our little chatter box. She loves life. I have some great videos of her to post but finding the time has been difficult. Hopefully I will do better. We also have some awesome vacation pictures I should blog, I'll try to get some good stuff up soon.

To boldly go...

This may be the strangest thing I've ever seen.

But we still love him.

I don't listen to a word they say

With the passing of the King, mixed feelings have gone through a lot of people including myself. I, too, have heard and joined in on a of few jokes about how the creepy pedophile is gone and that he will have to be recycled since he's 80% plastic, but, all joking aside, he was still a person. A person who had talent for singing and, especially, dancing. He had some great talent even back in the days that he sang with Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon. Man, I still wish I could moonwalk like he could.

Speaking of moonwalking, there was once a video game that was made after his famous dance move. To honor the passing of this great singer/dancer I've decided to share the commercial for Michael Jackson's Moonwalker with all of you. Some of you might think that I'm mocking his death with this video, in fact it's the opposite. Hopefully most of you know of my likeing to video games and I feel that this is best way that I can honor him. I'm even thinking of downloading this on an emulator.

Like Father, Like Daughter

How proud can a mother be of her nearly 16 month old?


You tell me.
(No, she is not actually playing. Alex isn't even playing, they are watching other people play but Hailey wanted in on the action. AND it's Mario Kart Wii, which we own now.)

Just in case you didn't know

Happy engagement Tio Estaban and Amanda!
They got engaged June 18, I'm just a little behind.:)
