...and look how she's changed!

Hailey is getting so big it's actually hard for me to keep up with all the stuff that she's learning and doing these days! She says so many words, I think there's really not much she can "communicate" if she wants to! (and that's the key...when she WANTS TO) She's definitely showing her stubborn streak these days and it's hard to get her to do stuff that she doesn't want to do...luckily, there's not much that she doesn't want to do right now. She's such a sweet and obliging child I love every minute with her!

Some of her favorite things to do are...

*chasing Allie around the house or teasing her with food and snacks

*going places! She loves to just "go"- she doesn't really care where, just as long as we go! She woke up this morning and the first word out of her mouth was "go" :)

*seeing her papa and playing with him! She still LOVES Korey and he is definitely her super hero! It is super sweet and I know that he loves it!

*eating "cookies" (that's her word for anything sweet and yummy)

*dancing to music- any kind and anywhere! We just started a music class that a friend of mine is teaching and she just gets such a kick out of it!

*talking...reading to herself...carrying on a conversation with her "baby" or talking to me, it doesn't matter- she just likes to talk!

*saying "no"! That's her new word and she enjoys practicing it whenever she can!!

*pulling up her shirt, or her mommy's shirt and playing with the belly button and saying "baby" (and it doesn't matter if we're at home, the coffee shop, the grocery store, out for a walk, at the pool...)

*making messes! this is definitely what Hailey is the best at and she continues to practice every day! :)

*being cute and adorable! No joke, she loves to "ham it up" and perform for anyone and everyone that she comes into contact with!
