Can I just say.....

Can I just say how much Hailey looks like me? I wish I can bring up a picture of me around this age to show you! But look at this picture, she especially looks like one of my baby photos in this one (I am hoping my mom agrees).

It such a surreal thing to look at your own child and see how much they look like you and what characteristics they have of yours! Lately I am getting a lot of comments about how much she looks like me. She still has blue eyes and I really think they are going to stay blue. They are lightening in the middle (just like mine) but definitely not looking like they are going to turn brown. She is too cute for words. I just can't stand it!

Randy said today when he looked at her "How could I have been a part of that?" It's so funny to think about it!

Hailey's new boyfriend Aiden

Hailey met Aidan today for the first time. Aiden is the son of my friend Jennifer. Aiden was born 3 days after Hailey. Seeing them together is so cute. Especially because neither of them know what is going on and don't really even care about the fact that they are sitting next to each other!

Here are a few more pictures that Jennifer took. She is a professional photographer. Click HERE for her website if you are looking for a great photographer! There were so many cute pics!

I love the look on Aiden's face in this one

Too cute!

One Week To Go

One week from today I will be back at work. Have I expressed yet how much I am dreading this? I have been searching for at home jobs with decent pay and there just aren't any. I have seen a lot that will require arranged child care anyway. Well that sucks and defeats the purpose. If anyone has any ideas, send them my way!

So in the meantime I am just enjoying the time I have left.

And because blog posts are boring without pics, here are some. I got Hailey to hold her rattle last night (after placing in her hand of course!). Though she was more interested in sucking on it then actually playing with it, it was still so cute. Of course she dropped it after a few seconds but I got some shots of her looking like she was enjoying it!

Hailey Met Santa Today!

So I gave in and took Hailey to see Santa today! Her Nana & Papa came along too. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to start this tradition with her. I hate seeing crying Santa pictures! A friend of mine, Jennifer, had taken her son to Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. This place was really cute and not cheesy like other mall set ups! Hailey did really good! She didn't cry at all (of course next year could be a different story!). She was snoozing in her stroller up until it was her turn so she was in a great mood! The picture they took turned out really cute!

Santa's House!

I'm ready!!

The picture they took! She did so good!

Santa told my dad he hasn't shaved his beard in 40 years!

What Happens When Daddy Dresses Hailey

Poor Hailey, at least he tried! This is his way of dressing her warm so he can walk her down the street to look at the Christmas lights. Although if you look closely you will notice the flower outfit is a one piece romper with long pant legs so he put the blue pants over the flower outfit! Points for trying! haha.

Deck the Blog with Christmas Deco

I love Christmas so I thought I would make my blog look festive!



Randy put up the lights on the house. Hailey absolutely loves to look at them. She just stares in total aw! We haven't gotten our tree yet but did put up the small fake one we have. I set Hailey in her bouncer and she stared at it for 15 minutes! Guess we have a new way of soothing/distracting her for the next month.

On the down side, 9 days until I go back to work! Anyone have a winning lotto ticket cause mine seems to be broken!! =(

Big Smiles, On Video!

How Hailey Spends Her Tummy time

Hailey thinks chomping on her hand is her way of getting out of tummy time. It looks like it tastes good!

I tried over and over to embed the video in this post but its not working so I am posting the link to it hosted from another site.

So click HERE for the video.

Big Smiles

I finally caught some of her big smiles on camera! I have been trying for weeks but always get shots of her after a smile!! I am going to try to upload some videos as long as blogger cooperates!

Tales of an Unhappy Baby

I realized I usually only post happy, cute pictures of Hailey. Here's some not so happy pictures!

Hailey's 1st Thanksgiving

Family Photos

A few weeks ago we took some family photos. A friend of mine, Jennifer, is starting up her photography business and thought it would be awesome to get some great family photos. She did an amazing job and we are so happy with the way they all turned out! Here are just a few! If you are looking to have some photos taken of your family I highly recommend her!

A Day of Fun at Great Grandma Betty's

Friday we went over to Great Grandma Betty's house to visit with her and also Cousin Kendall and Delaney were going to be there too. Hailey did very well. She seemed fascinated by the girls. She liked to watch them play around. Pretty soon Hailey will be big enough to play around with them!

I am sitting all by myself

Randy Felt Left Out

Since Hailey and I were in the hospital this year, Randy thought he would follow the trend! Wednesday he started having stomach pains. By yesterday, they were still there so he tried to get into the doctor. They suggested he go to Urgent Care in case it was he appendix. After 6 hours and quite a few tests that's exactly what it was. He was admitted last night and had surgery this morning. Everything went well and though he is upset he has to stay in the hospital one more night, he is doing great. He has had lots of visitors all day to keep him company and his spirits up.

Here's a picture of him holding his stuffed flower his brother Jeff brought him (how thoughtful). He will home tomorrow and out of commission for a week!
