Her First Masterpiece

We decided to bust out the crayons and give Haley her first go at coloring. She did great! I was so impressed by how carefully she would position the crayons between her tiny little fingers. Her favorite color...grey. I kept trying to throw it back into the mix and get her to use a color that (I thought) was more fun, but she'd pick it out of the pile every time. Already has a mind of her own.

Here she is a few days later. She's a pro now. : )

How cute is she?

Summer's Here

Summer is finally here and Haley could not be happier. All she wants to do is go outside, or "owshy" as she likes to say. She loves playing in the yard, digging in the dirt, eating the dirt, climbing the deck stairs, climbing on the chairs, going down the slide, playing in the sprinkler, watering the plants, watering herself (dumping a bucket of water on herself), and she'll finally sit still long enough to enjoy her stroller rides.

Joy Ride

Haley invited Jonah over for a cruise around the block in her new wagon.

Pretty Girl...

A trip to the park...

Miss Independent

Haley is (too) quickly changing from a baby to a very independent little girl. It's amazing how fast this happens, practically overnight! Her walk has turned to a run, she's started to climb (on everything), she's feeding herself with her spoon, she gets into EVERYTHING, she's started sounding out words, she says "no, no, no" to herself while doing something naughty, she loves to climb stairs, she'll finally sit still and let us read her books, she's starting to be nice to Cheddar, she blows kisses, does patty cake, waves, claps, loves to point out her nose and belly button, hates when we try and hold her hand, loves being the center of attention, wants to do everything by herself, and loves, loves, loves playing outside!

It's hard to get good pictures these days as she's always on the move. Here are some cute ones that I took this morning. She's obsessed with these sunglasses that she found. She makes everyone wear them including Cheddar and Elmo.
