Hailey's on a roll :)

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**

Labor Day

Labor Day

Another holiday down in the books for Hailey. We were busy busy this weekend. Saturday morning we headed out earlier than any person should ever have to on a Saturday, 7am! We headed out for Dillard to hang out with Dustin's family and friends of the family. It felt great up there and was a preview of the fall weather to come. Unfort, with good weather, there was bad football. Thats right, my GA bulldawgs disappointed me on Saturday with a lose to Ok. State. They did it all to themselves and could have won the game if they would have played the whole game like the first quarter! But we aren't getting in to that whole story here :)

Sunday we decided to chill out the whole day and nap. Monday was a big day. We were at the pool all day and Hailey got in the pool for her first time. Well, in the big hot tub actually. She loved it. I think that she thought it was a really big bath because she slept like a champ afterwards! Mom got some great pictures of her. She has been doing great lately. Given us a little problem with not wanting to eat her bottle and talk and play instead. But we love to talk and play too, so it isn't that terrible. We haven't been back to the doctor since her 2 mo check up, but she is def. growing like a weed and getting heavier and heavier everyday!

We are headed to the Yellow Daisy Festival tomorrow and I can barely stand it! I am going to have to control myself from all of the cute stuff :)

3 Months

3 Months

Hailey has turned 3 months today!! Wow.. I can't believe that I am saying that. Not to be the typical parent, but I really do feel like we just brought her home. She has been so much fun lately. Laughing and just being a ham ball. She has just started a new thing with her eating. She gets about 1 oz. down and then thinks it is time to play and talk. So we have to sit there and have a little conversation with her, give a couple of smiles, and then back to eating. The 1 more oz and repeat step one! haha. It brings a smile to your face, but also takes a while. Sometimes up to an hour, which we usually don't have, but of course, she's the boss.

I got a great video of her yesterday just chatting away with herself in the mirror. She loves to lay on her play yard and gab away in the mirror and lets out a couple of laughs every once in a while. I have had some trouble uploading video, but I am going to try a different route, so hopefully I can get it up on the site. It is amazing how in one month they can change so much. She def. knows who mommy and daddy are, and is now getting familiarized with the grands. She will give a big smile to GG and Granny Anny, and of course it just melts them :)She is also very aware of when you are in the room and not in the room. I have to be very sneaky when she is napping and loses the paci. I have to duck down, walk up to the crib, feel around for the paci, then give it back to her. If I look over the crib, she is sure to spot me and then starts laughing! Sometimes I let her see me cause it is just hilarious.

The dogs are great with her now and know that she is here to stay. Angel is her protector and dozi gives her baths ;) lol They love to lay right beside her play mat when she is on it. Every once in a while she will get to playing so hard that she kicks or punches them. They look are her like 'what was that for'. Either that or start licking her foot or hand. We are having so much fun being parents and can't wait for all the milestones to come (well we won't rush things of course!)

Messing around on a Saturday

We were finally home this weekend and decided to take full advantage of it. Hailey slept late in the bed with daddy, then woke up realizing that she was starving!! So once she got her belly full, it was off to the wildlife show in Conyers. Unfort, there wasn't much 'Wildlife' at all. Funny enough, the only thing we really got out of it were a couple of bows for Hailey! Once we got home we watched two movies and played in the bumbo seat. Hailey is getting much better with her bumbo seat and loves to sit in it and talk. She loves to sit straight up, so even when she is sitting in it she keeps leaning fwd as if trying to sit up more! It is too funny.
I got some great pics of her today and one good one of the both of us. I can't believe that my baby is going to be 12 wks on Monday. The time has flown by and it has been amazing to watch her grow :)I love seeing the new things that she does each and every day. She is getting to be happier and happier... or as Granny Anny would say 'Happy Hailey'.

Commerce race

We went to commerce this past weekend for the ORSCA race. Dustin entered in the 7.0 class for the first time and did a great job. The object of a class is to get as close to the time as possible without 'breaking out' (going under). The first time out dustin ran a 6.96 which was a bit too fast. So they worked on the car a bit and then he ran a 7.01! with a .003 reaction which is almost perfect. He was super excited and so were we. He had to do what is called foot braking (no trans break which helps out a lot bc you hold down a button with a trans break and dont have to have both feet on the brake, so you can have the gas foot ready) so he had to have both feet on the brake and then had to switch to gas in a blink of an eye. So to get a .003 reaction time (best is .000) is amazing!! (and maybe lucky) There were 45 people in his class and qualified #19 going into the race! On his first race he came so close to cutting a perfect time that you could not have even blinked your eyes. He ran a 6.994, .006 away from his index time. Unfort, when you 'break out' it doesnt matter how close, you are disqualified. So we didn't get to go on to any other rounds, but had a blast at the race track. It was a great way to go and have some family fun time and blow off some steam.. literally with the burn outs! haha.
We will be back at Commerce in October for another race and thinking about him entering again :)

Commerce Race coming up..

I wanted to put a quick note on the blog and let you know that we have the race in Commerce this weekend and would love for anyone to come out that can. Dustin is going to be racing this time for his first time in an actual race. He has gone down the dragstrip a few times, but never in a certified race! He will be entering the 7.0 class, which means that we now have someone in all three classes.. Mike in 5.0, Adam in 6.0, and now Dustin in 7.0. For those of you that don't know the lingo.. this is the time that they run in the 1/8 of a mile. Very fun! Everything will get started sometime late morning on Saturday and go all day with qualifying and then the race is on Sunday, probably starting around 10:30 or so.
So if you need something exciting to do for the weekend, come on out to the Commerce Dragstrip (we will be camping, so we will have AC and clean bathrooms!! haha)

10 weeks

10 Weeks

I cant believe that our sweet baby is 10 weeks old!! As I always say, it is going to quickly. We are having so much fun watching her change and become a happier baby. She is constantly smiling and laughing. She can def be a little ham. She is the most fun in the mornings because she is well rested and just full of joy :) Her hair just continues to grow and has become so pretty. Some days it is darker and some days it takes on a blond tint. Her eyes are still bright eyed and blue. We are really thinking that they are going to stay this way, she is def. going to be a heartbreaker if she has blonde hair and blues eyes. Daddy is already worried about it, but says he is preparing his tactics.. haha. I uploaded some cute pictures that I have taken this week as she is about to turn 10 weeks old tom.
