The Three P's

Piggyback - Or shoulderback. Whatever.

Playdate - Haylie and I went on our first park playdate with Jennie and Kyndall. Both of the babies were cranky about half way around the park - which is why Haylie looks like she could care less that she got the luxury of being pushed in her comfy stroller on a beautiful day in the park with friends. Brat. Kyndall's sweet smile makes up for Miss Grumpy.

Presents - Haylie is now an official MRCC kid!! I heard rumors about these wonderful gifts and now I know they are true. I was soooo excited when I opened the package and saw these!

It's That Time Of Year!

Today is the first day of GARAGE SALE WEEK!!! I am super pumped about this coming weekend and the sale. Normally I would be spending many hours at work printing off labels, signs, instruction sheets, etc...but this year I do not have that luxury. I will, however, be spending my time in between feedings and playtime doing those things. They just won't be as "professional" this year. I feel like there is so much to do yet here I am blogging. I just spent 20 minutes in the "cry cave" aka Haylie's room so I deserve a little break, yes?

Another milestone this weekend will be my first attempt of a relay in the OKC Marathon. Haylie and I went for a run this morning and did a successful 2 mile jog/run (but mostly jog)! I was so happy! I probably could have kept going but since I felt like there was much to be done today, we stopped. And yet here I am blogging. Oh wait, I already covered that.

I hope everyone has a blessed week - come out on Saturday just to say hey if you are in the neighborhood. You never know - we might have some can't-live-without "treasures"!

Busy with Life

I had a whole blog written out saying what we have been up to lately which is why I have been ignoring my blog. But I started to read it and got bored so I thought I would try again.

Visiting with Friends

On another note, Haylie loves her exersaucer and on a daily basis makes me laugh when she is in it. She loves to play, stop, blow out her diaper, and continue to play. I caught this angle this morning and it makes me laugh - my baby girl has a 'stache.

She also puts her arms down and then gets upset because they are "stuck".

Whaaa?

This is so amazing to me. Caramel and I are going to start practicing today!

Finally Finished

Ahh. My kitchen is finally beautiful. The last step - backsplash - is done! The kitchen had an okay look about it before but now I just love to be in there (which helps since I'm trying to cook dinners M-F). But, with all of our projects, it definitely took longer than expected and cost more too. Boo. It didn't help that we had to have the countertop guys come back out to fix a mistake or that our refrigerator started to poop out so we had to get a new one. It's amazing how quickly things you need for a project add up. But! This is the last project I had on my indoor list (only took 4 years to complete them all)...now on to the outside!! We'll see if Justin is up for that :)

She Just Keeps Growing!

Our little baby girl is 4 months old! Some days I feel like time has just flown by; other days I really feel that we've had her forever and that she is only 4 months old. Regardless, I love my baby girl so so so much and can not imagine my life without her.


The "measuring" photo...although I'm not sure I can tell much of a difference from here, here or here. Alright, maybe I can.

Playing the part of a biblical character or just swaddle gone wild?

Tummy time with Mr. Elephant. Not sure who won the staring contest.

Happy it's spring time!!

This is my first video to try to upload. We'll see how it works. Haylie is a very vocal child and loves to talk like Chewbacca and grab her toes. This is just how she plays by herself!

Other things for me to remember about Haylie:

-Hasn't rolled over yet but we are pretty close!

-Loves to have her clothes taken off and put back on.

-Absolutely LOVES bathtime with daddy.

-Has giggled a few times although it's at pretty random times. When we try to make her laugh, she just gives us a stone cold look.

-Naptime is still a struggle. Haylie cries and throws fits so we are trying to figure out an easier way of life for this time of day.

-Starting to enjoy her exersaucer and toys a lot more. She is getting more interactive!

-She weighs 14.6 lbs and is 25 inches long! Both in the higher percentile!!

Easter 2010

We didn't do much for Easter this year for Haylie - it was mostly about keeping her happy between eating and naptimes. We didn't go all out with a basket of goodies and she was in the middle of naptime when we {and by we I mean cousin Eli} hunted eggs. But by golly, we got some pictures of her in her adorable dress! Next year we will be more festive.
