We put up a huge gate in front of the tv to prevent Hailey from getting to all the wires and goodies! The gate is big enough to pull over to the sofa to make it where she can't get out of the living room. Well the days of keeping a mobile child in one area is gone. She has now learned how to get OUT! haha. I decided to video her doing it and she gets frustrated and cries a little bit but then gets out :)
here dozi, have a treat:
is this how you use the jenny jump up mom??
sorry you will have to use your imagination cause dustin didnt realize that you couldnt turn the camera sideways!! haha. but HAILEY CAN WALK!
and this one is just for laughs ;) she gets so excited!!
Even tho she is just shy of 9 months and mom and dad def. don't want her walking yet... she is trying so hard! She wants to walk so bad that she can't stand it. She pulls up on EVERYTHING and will let go and try to start walking. She even lets go of her walker and then starts walking again. We also have a climber on our hands. She loves to try and climb on her walker and get on the couch... such a ham!
The video is a bit shaky.. but you get the point ;)
HB has gotten very curious lately. Today when we were getting ready for work, she climbed up on the mirror and started talking to herself. She even managed to get a few kisses in :)
Hailey has been all over the place lately. She went from not crawling to making it across the living room in 2 seconds flat! Haha. It is such a fun and exciting time, and I love to watch how excited she gets with herself when she speeds over to a toy that she wants. Along with crawling, she has mastered the art of pulling up on EVERYTHING! Her toys, the sofa, us, THE DOGS!! lol.. which they are not to thrilled about :) She has not fear what so ever either, she will just let go and stand there for a few seconds and then get excited and fall down. Along with pulling up on everything, she now thinks that bed time is a game to see how many times she can get mom and dad to come back in the room before she settles down for the night. Tonight she pulled up on the crib (which we have already lowered once!) 3 times before finally getting tired (after no afternoon nap as well!!) and going to bed.... so of course I just had to snap a quick video :)
HB thinks it is the funniest thing when someone sneezes... even the dog. She was in a super funny mood, and I sneezed for real one time and she started laughing so hard. So we decided to tape it.
Here is a funny video we took of Hailey. It is actually chicken mixed with veggies... which i have to admit smelled terrible! Here is mommy's little trick to get me to eat it :)
Hailey started getting up on her knees for the first time today. She really started trying hard when we put her down for bed. She started pushing up and scooting backwards in the crib. I know it was bedtime, but I couldn't resist putting her on the floor and having some fun and capturing some video!! It is a little long this time, but you can't just tell them "ok do it now" haha. The whole video is her trying to get up, but the very end is when she actually gets on all fours and stays for a bit. She was trying so hard to crawl to daddy!! If you have the time, watch the whole thing, but if you want to see her get all the way up.. just skip to the end ;)
Today we got some Chirstmas flyers in the mail and I was going through them with Hailey. She loves to read books and magazines and hold anything that you put in front of her. I pulled one of the bigger ones that we had and let her "help" me flip through it. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a while. She was going crazy over it and banging all the pages. I sat her by herself and put it in her lap and this is what she did. If this is anything like Christmas is going to be... it is going to be sooo much fun and I cant wait!!!!
Well you have all seen the video of Hailey rolling to her tummy, but she has now mastered the art of rolling from back to tummy and again to her back. She thinks it is so much fun and will roll from one side of the room to the other now! I finally got the camera ready for when she did it and got her this morning before she ate...
We decided to put the Jumperoo together for Hailey. She loves standing up in your lap and rarely wants to just sit there, so we knew she would love it. Soon as we put her in it you could tell she was excited and was very interested in it. I am also very excited because now I can sit her in it in the kitchen and cook dinner without having to occupy her! She is growing up so quickly (I know, I know, I say it all the time!) but we love watching her try all her new things... She hasn't got the hang of it all the way, but she does pretty good it in :)
So you can all make fun of me as you watch the video because I am doing it with her, but it is too funny and I just had to get it on tape. Enjoy :)
Well I know it has been a while since I have posted anything, but we have def. been busy. We just got back from out of town, our annual Pigeon Forge trip for the big car show. Right before we left, Hailey started getting the sniffles, so I brought her in just in case with going out of town. Everything was ok, but she did have some congestion. Of course they don't really do much with her being so young, so they adviced me on a nassle spray and she is all better now. The good thing is they weighed her and she was 13.085lbs. She is a growing girl and now in the 70% for her age.
I will try and get some new pics up of Hailey, but here is a video of one of her new tricks! She gave us quite a scare the first time she did it because I didnt know that she could and looked at the video monitor in the middle of the night, and SHE WASNT THERE!! Ahhh... it def. shook us up and we went running to her room and there she was, sound alseep. Enjoy :)
**for some reason the sound is not there, so here is the commentary... I am saying this is here new trick and about 40 seconds in she does it. I then go up to the video monitor and say how we know she has done it when she is no longer in the picture. I then walk around and let the little burger say a little something to the camera! this has become a bedtime routine of having to go in and roll her back over.. and sometimes prop a bear in front of her to stop the rolling. haha**
