She's a dancin' fool!

Happy Happy Birthday Owlex Dear!

I love this man! I love him because he is an awesome husband! I love him because he is an awesome daddy! I love him because of his strong testimony. I love him because he helps me to be a better person. I love him because he is as nerdy as me. I love him because we can talk for hours on end about dorky things like our personal theories on time travel. I love him because he is always willing to do the dishes. I love him because in areas where I lack, he helps me. I love him because he's the only person I feel totally comfortable just being me with. I love him because he makes me laugh. I love him because we have the same taste in everything. I love him because he is the sweetest person I know. I love him because he is brilliant. I love him because he never puts on a show. I love him because he is sarcastic. But most of all, I love him because he is my best friend. Happy Birthday Alex!

14 months!

Hailey hit 14 months on Saturday. Here's some mile stones.
-She has 11 teeth now.
-She can run pretty darn fast.
-She says more than 30 words. (I made a list of 34 this morning but I'm not sure if I missed any) SHE LOVES TO TALK!
-She is getting good at following directions.
-She knows where several of her body parts are.
-She sleeps very well.
-She will eat mostly anything, she is even finally eating meat and drinking milk.
-She likes: to talk, read, sing, dance, go for walks, take naps, play on mommy and daddy's bed, eat, take baths, push her own stroller, jewelry, help with the dishes, take pictures, and make people laugh.
-She doesn't like: to be told no, car trips that are longer than 2 hours, to sleep anywhere that isn't her crib, when mommy won't let her walk at the market, and wearing clothes.

Going to the Zoo!

Saturday we finally bought Hailey her birthday present, San Diego Zoo passes. It was a couple of months late, but she's one, she'll never know. :P We had so much fun! My parents, Steven, and Amanda came with us. Hailey loved it!

Her only tearful moment of the day was caught on camera, and being the bad mom I am, it makes me laugh. "But mom, I don't want to have fun!"

She really loved the koi pond.

This is a reenactment of a childhood picture Steven and I took with the Beardwoods.

Hailey loved the petting zoo.

She especially loved exhibits like this one:

We really had a great day.

It's a good thing we got passes though because that zoo is huge and we didn't get to very much of it. Mostly because the day way spent like this:

What does a chicken say?

This makes me think of a certain sister of mine. One who is related to me biologically and has a strange fascination with CHICKENS!!!
