IT'S A....

BOY! YAY! We are SO excited. Now we will have one of each! :D

19 month! plus some

Hailey hit 19 months on Friday. I can now use the excuse that everything takes me longer because I am pregnant, so that is why I am a few days late on blogging about it. I will also use it for my excuse in the lack of blogging. Anyway, here are some pictures of the random things we've been up to.

We went to Disneyland for papa's birthday and Hailey really wanted to ride the, "lumpalump." (elephant)

We went to the Seaside Highland games last weekend and since we've posted lots of Scotish games pictures before I thought one of a piper on the beach would be cool. It's the best we could get. You can see his pipes and he is wearing a kilt even though you can't see that.

My two loves.

This is at the LA county fair. Hailey wasn't so sure about the dinosaurs.

We were the cutest flowers at the fair.

We also went to the zoo, but those pics are on my dad's camera. Hailey knows tons of words and her sentences have become more complex. The doctor was amazed by her vocabulary when she went in for her check up. She can also count to 10, sing most of the alphabet, and is starting to learn her shapes and colors. She knew most of her animals already but now she has started to learn some more obscure ones like Koalas. She sings lots of songs too and she request songs for me to sing to her. Her favorites are the monkey's swinging through the trees, "abc," and "I'm trying to be like Jesus." She has also started to say prayers and can start them on her own. She loves nursery, singing, dancing, reading, going on walks, and anything to do with water. She doesn't like to take her nap or eat her dinner. She is growing so much each day. She is so fun. She also has started to call herself sister and points to my belly when we ask where the baby is. I plan on putting up a bunch of videos this month but getting good ones are hard.
We also find out what the baby is on Monday! :D

Happy Birthday, Papa!

About a week ago I called one of my high school friends and sang happy birthday. Since then Hailey has been singing it like crazy. She is really good at it but she is so hard to catch on camera. This is the best I've gotten. In honor of Papa's 50th (YES 50th, my daddy is getting OLD!) birthday today, I thought I should post it. Happy Birthday, Papa!

(Also, note how distracted she suddenly gets by the phone that has been in her hands the whole time, babies are so funny!)

Battle Scars!

Today was Hailey's first day of Nursery. She was so excited, she didn't even look back to say good bye when she got through the door. She loved it and had so much fun. The only draw back of the whole experience was this:

Yep, that is a bite. AND it's about two hours after she got it. Needless to say, it was pretty bad. BUT she didn't cry! So, we didn't even find out about it until after. She's a tough cookie!

Freaky Flashback!

Yep, that is me. It's sad, I know.

18 Months! (or welcome to the terrible twos)

So I've always heard that the "terrible twos" are so terrible because kids want to be independent but aren't quite capable of the desired independence. If this is the case Hailey hit the terrible twos about 2 weeks ago. She wants to do everything herself and has a big enough vocabulary to make that clear. It's been alright though except for a couple of days. She is SO smart. She knows over 100 words and my doctor said 10 is good and 50 is usually the max. So I think I gets some bragging rights here. ;) She has some simple sentences down and totally knows exactly how to explain what she wants. Her dancing has become very elaborate, and so has her singing. Right now her favorite song is, "I Love to See the Temple," and when she tries to sing it she gets some of the words. She loves to sing with mommy and she even request songs. She is finally drinking milk! (YAY! after all the hard work!) She loves to go swimming at her aunt Nancy's. She loves to go places, she's our traveling girl. She is obsessed with fruit right now and with breakfast. She would eat breakfast 6 times every morning if we let her. She also loves to color and go for walks. She has started to feed herself recently and is actually really good at it. She still loves to read and that is what we spend most of our time doing. She also loves all things girly, which has been strange for me. Never thought I would have a girly girl. I tried to get some cute videos to post but she stops everything and smiles every time she see the camera. When I figure out how to hide the camera, you will get some great videos. She is SO fun!
