New Buds

Haley had fun hangin' with her new buddy, Henry, in San Fran. Thanks to Tim and Jaime for such a great weekend! And congrats to Kelly and Fitz! The wedding was amazing.

San Francisco

Due to my teething baby, I'm so tired right now that I can't even put thoughts together. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Luckily, she got her first tooth right before we left and the second started making it's way through right after we returned. She was on her best behavior the whole trip (even on the plane!).

Crawling machine...

Haley decided that she wanted her toys that were on the other side of the exersaucer. She could have just went around it, but what fun would that be? Nothing can really get in her way. She's like a little bulldozer. She definitely takes after her dad and not her mom.

Mmmmm....Ice Cream

Haley had a busy week, learning to crawl and getting her first tooth!

We went to Door County over the weekend with Andy, Amber and AJ. Here is Haley enjoying her first taste of Wilson's Ice Cream. She wasn't really eating it, but I'm sure the coldness felt good on her flaming gums. Thank you to Uncle Andy and Aunt Amber for putting up with our crabby girl. Stay tuned for a cute video of Haley and AJ playing. I just have to find time to download it.

And She's Off.....

Haley has started crawling!!! Only 5 1/2 months and she mobile. She's always had way more energy than she knows what to do with, so maybe this extra exercise will finally wear her out. Somehow, I have a feeling the only one who's going to be more worn out is me! Click HERE to watch her in motion. She hasn't mastered her new skill yet, but it won't be long.

First time at the beach

We went for a nice drive down Sheridan road yesterday and got out at a beautiful park along Lake Michigan. Haley stuck her little toes in the sand for the first time. Not sure how she liked it...she just kind of stood there like a statue. She mostly enjoyed looking at and listening to the waves. Can't wait to see here reaction when she sees some real waves in Cali. Only 2 weeks away!

No pictures today..

Poor little boo boo has an eye infection. Nothing major, just got a little irritated from her blocked tear duct (something she's had since birth that should eventually go away on its own). She's on the road to recovery with some antibiotic ointment and should be ready for more pictures in no time.

The last couple days she's really started talking a lot. She likes to say ma ma ma. I know she doesn't know what she's saying yet, but I like to pretend she's calling my name. Soon enough, I guess. It's so cute to hear her babbling away. She usually talks the most when she's playing by herself. She's got a lot to say to all her toys. I sit nearby and listen to her sweet little stories. I can hardly wait until I can understand what she's saying. : )

Little Shopper...

Haley sat in the grocery cart for the first time today and loved it! She giggled and talked to all the people passing by. She was adorable, as always! I've always loved grocery shopping (I know I'm a dork), now it's even more enjoyable with my little shopping partner. : )
