Such a good helper

Haley had a great time helping her Daddy put together her new bike. There were so many pieces, I thought for sure she'd lose interest, but she stuck with him until it was all finished. I can't wait until it's nice enough to use it outside.

These are a few of my favorite things....

Here are a few of Haley's favorite things from her first Christmas.

Her new sled from Grammy.

The pumpkin pancakes Daddy made on Christmas morning.

Balls!

Her new Elmo dolls.

All the packages!!! To Haley, the packages were just as exciting as what was inside.

Christmas at Nonnie's

Haley had lots of fun this past weekend celebrating Christmas with Nonnie and Uncle Tom. Nonnie got her a new "walker" toy the she loves!!! She almost runs across the room with it and could not be more proud of herself. Uncle Tom got her a cool new "3 in 1" training bike. It's very fitting that he'd get her first bike seeing as he has quite the collection of bikes himself. If she's anything like her Uncle Tom (and her Daddy), I'm sure this will be the first of MANY.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my 9 month birthday!!!

Happy Holidays!!!!!

Little Monkey

I've always called Haley my little monkey so when I saw this hat I just couldn't resist. She seems to like it. : )

Look, it's Santa!!!

We got all bundled up tonight and walked to the Tree Lighting Ceremony in downtown Libertyville. It was really cute! There were carolers, a countdown to the lighting of the tree, and Santa even rode in on a fire truck. HO, HO, HO...those three little words sure do make the kids go wild. You could almost feel the magic in the air.
