Sneak Peek of Pictures of Hailey

I recently did a little photoshoot with Hailey. I am not quite done with them but I had to share a few!

Hailey's Recent Vocab Lesson!

I thought I would add to Hailey's vocab list I started in a blog post a few months old.

Mama/Mommy
Dada/Daddy
Nose (Noe)
Moon (Mooooo)
Balloon (boooon)
Ball (bah)
Bath tub (Bah Ba)
Right there (rye der)

Diaper (Die-pa)
Hi (iii)
Hello (eh-yo)
*Newest Words*

Nana
Papa

oh wow, wow or whoa

If there are anymore, I am forgetting them!

She also knows what a Monkey says (oo ah ooo ah) and a dog says. She has recently learned basically all of her body parts. (nose, eyes, cheeks, mouth, teeth, tongue, ears, hair, head, arms. hands, legs, toes, buns -haha). She understands everything it seems and we have to spell certain things out in front of her (already!!) . Where did my baby go????

She still LOVES Seasame Street & especially Elmo! She alos lives her Little People toys and dolls! Books, she goes through phases but loves to sort her books. She has a play kitchen she loves to play with. She loves to climb all over everything and, like her Daddy, she loves to be outside.

We are working on her drinking with a regular cup. And we really need to get a potty and start that (Holy Cow! Really, where does the time go??).

I'll be posting some 18 month photos soon (Yes, she is almost 18 months!! In just a few short months, I will be planning her 2nd birthday party! That's insane!!).

That's all for now folks!

Mommy Rec! Gymboree Bubble Oodles!!

I have to tell you that this is the BEST invention EVER!! Hailey goes NUTS over bubbles and thanks to my friend Brooke, I have discovered this nifty bubble set up! The bubble blower seriously blows "oodles" of bubbles. And these bubbles last forever. There were still some this morning sitting on the ground from last night!

If you have a toddler that loves bubbles, I highly recommend this set up! You can pick it up at your local Gymboree store or go to HERE. I used a 20% off coupon I found in a parenting magazine. I also purchased the bubble refill. With the way Hailey goes nuts over bubbles, I knew I'd need a back up!

Valentine's Day Photoshoot 2010

I decided to get out my backdrop stand, get a simple VDay tablecloth from Target, a cute outfit and a lollipop then click away on my camera. How can you resist this Valentine's Day cutie??

Kellen & Hailey Beach Playdate

A friend of mine, Brooke, came down to visit from Idaho. We had a veyr busy, fun weekend! One part of the weekend included a trip to Santa Monica Pier. We let the kids loose on the sand and let them have at it!

Here are some pictures from the day:

Then the eating of the sand began
