Our 3 year anniversary

We can hardly believe that 3 years have already gone by. My how things change :) We were fortunate enough to be able to leave Hailey at mom's house and go enjoy the day off and night. We started out at the Zoo, which I have to admit was a little weird going to and leaving our child at home... haha. It was beautiful weather and we had such a great time. Neither one of us had been since we were in middle school, and let me tell you it looks mighty different through 'big girl' eyes! When we got done there we headed out to do some shopping. Of course the only person that got anything was Hailey! We decided to hang it up on the shopping and leave out for PF Changs at the Mall of GA. We had a bad experience there a couple of years ago, but heard so many others talk great things about it, so we decided to give it another shot... it was amazing! The food was awesome, and because of the great weather, we got to sit outside and enjoy it. We were going to catch an IMAX movie, but nothing was playing when we were there, so we headed to the new Brandsmart instead. I know, I know, not a typical anniversary date, but that is so us. You know it could have been Wal-mart, so we are stepping up :)

We stopped for a warm 'Caramel Apple Spice' at Starbucks on the way home (which I am totally addicted to now!) and decided to catch up on some tivo. It was an awesome day and my hubby is just the best. I didn't mention his totally sweet scheme he had going. So he asked me on tues night if I could let the dogs out in the morning because he would really like to sleep in.. so I had no problems in this. I go to let the dogs out and flip on the hall light... there is was, my new pretty pink northface jacket with a note that read "Hey babe, I got this for you so you wouldn't be cold when you let the dogs out"!! How sweet, he does have a few tricks up that sleeve ;)

All in all, we had a beautiful day and were able to get some much needed one on one time.

Anniversary

Happy Monday

The past couple of days Hailey has been talking herself back to sleep. She gets up around 630 to eat and then back down to bed. She will play possum with me and make me think she is asleep until I get back to our bed. Once I lay down, I start hearing bubbles and screeches and laughs. The first time she did it, I went back across the house and gave her the paci back. After that I just started letting her do her thing. She will rant and rave for about 15 mins and then she is just gone! haha. This morning she was being extra funny and it just touches my heart, so I got out the video and this is what came about. It is about a minute and 30 secs, and some may find it boring, but I think it is so cute.. esp the last 30 secs or so. Funny thing is, right after I shut the camera off she light out this huge yell for about 3 seconds and I just started laughing!

Play time

Hailey really enjoys her jumper. We put her in front of the tv and she loves to watch Pooh and Tigger. I got the camera out and tried to get her talking to them, but of course she stopped by the time I got it. She sits there and just talks back and forth with them, sometimes even lets out a screech!! She cracks us up. GG swears that she has watched mommy watch the GA bulldogs too much and that is where she got her yelling at the tv from!! She loves to hear herself now. She will just yell out of no where. Of course, the first couple of times that she did it, I went running over thinking something was wrong. She just looked up at me like 'mom what is the matter' and then just gives a big smile. :)

Hailey's eating solids!!

We went to the doctor last thursday and he gave us the go ahead for solids.. I think that mommy is more excited than Hailey ;) She is now 14.5 oz and almost 24 inches long. She got a great report and the doc couldnt believe she had 2 teeth! I had already gave her cereal a couple of times to see how she would do with it and she doesnt really know what to think. She makes the funniest faces :) We got a video of her last night trying bananas for the first time! It is pretty funny. It will take some getting use to, but I am glad that we are starting the process

4 months

As always, I took Hailey's pictures since she is now 4 months! I got some really cute ones. The funny thing is, I didn't realize until about half way through that I had been using the blocks that said "3 months" instead of 4. So when you look at the pics and see 3 months, just laugh at my "mommy brain" haha. There were some cute ones, so I didn't want to delete them!

4 Months

Hailey's Got Teeth

I still CAN NOT believe it. Hailey now has 2 teeth! It happened a little over a week ago. I sat down in the rocking chair not this Friday, but the one before, to feed her before bed. She keep turning her head away and crying. I got up and turned on the light, and THERE IT WAS! I could not believe my eyes. I knew that the teething process started between 4 and 9 months, but I was so shocked. I yelled for Dustin to come in there and said "Look, Hailey has a tooth!" He couldn't believe it either. Of course the first thing I did was get on the phone with my mom, and he did on the phone with his. They we excited and couldn't wait to see it. The second one started to cut through about 2 days later and is now all the way through! Although this is very exciting news, it is also very tiresome. She has been very fussy before bedtime because I guess it has had all day to build up the pain. She constantly chews on toys and anything she can get her mouth on, including your fingers and OUCH! She has been doing so much lately and loves to play with her jumper and toys. I got out the camera and tried to get a picture of her teeth. Of course I wasn't able to, but here are the pictures because they are hilarious!
