Toddlers Are Fun

May 22nd, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey No Comments »

Toddlers are so much fun, aren’t they?  I just thought I’d share a few of the fun things Hailey is doing at 19 months.

  • I have no idea where she gets this from, but apparently Hailey is afraid of bugs.  When she sees one, she screams and backs away and points and yells, “bug, bug!”  I can’t imagine who she has seen doing this.
  • Hailey loves to stand at the top of her slide and then say, “Sit down!”  Then she sits down and says, “Good girl.”
  • Hailey loves to stand on her Dora car and say, “Sit down!”  Then she sits down and says, “Good girl.”
  • Hailey climbs on everything.  She climbs onto the dining room chair then up onto the table.  She looks around proudly and says, “Sit down!”  Then she sits down and says, “Good girl.”
  • This one makes me a little sad- I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but all of a sudden Da-Da has become Daddy.  Thank goodness I’m still Momma though.
  • School buses are one of the most exciting part of Hailey’s day.  In the morning and afternoon she watches out our front window and is thrilled when she sees a school bus go by.  She calls out “ska ba” whenever it goes by.
  • Hailey is such a little sponge right now.  She loves to try new words.  There is a little boy who lives across the street from us named Frankie.  So, she sees him get off the bus everyday and yells out the front window, “boy, boy.”  I told her what his name was and so she yells his name out our window (when it’s actually warm enough for it to be open).  Except when she says Frankie it sounds like an entirely different word.  One that starts with an F.  And ends with a K.  And rhymes with truck.  I think you know what I mean.  And she yells it out the open window.  I think we’ll go back to calling him “boy.”

This Made My Day

May 16th, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey 12 Comments »


The other evening Hailey was playing on her new “whee.”  She was playing very nicely by herself and not asking for my attention at all.  So, I grabbed my laptop to get a bit of work blogging done while she was playing so nicely.

She was playing, I was blogging.  Then I heard Hailey saying, “Ah-ha, ah-ha.”  This is the sound that she makes when she wants to get my attention and doesn’t have the words for what she wants to say.  So, I looked up at her and did the sign for “I love you.”

Now if that isn’t the sweetest thing ever, then I don’t know what is.

Guess Who Dressed Me Today

May 15th, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey, Rich 21 Comments »

The other morning Rich changed Hailey’s diaper and got her dressed.  Without being asked

I was listening from the kitchen.  First I heard him tell Hailey the weather would be nice so she could wear shorts.  Then I heard him asking, “Do you want to wear this shirt?”  And I heard Hailey say, “No.”  That same question and answer were repeated several times.  Finally Hailey agreed to a shirt.

On their way back out to the kitchen I heard Rich say, “I’m not sure if this outfit matches.  How do you even know if it matches?”

And when Hailey came around the corner this is what I saw her wearing.

We didn’t have anywhere to go, so I left the outfit on her.  I did have to at least brush her hair though.

As long as Rich will change diapers and get Hailey dressed without being asked I don’t mind what he puts on her.  Unless I have to take her out in public that is.

(Make sure you check out my GIVEAWAY!)

Hailey was not exactly cooperative for our latest “photo shoot.”

Hailey loves to get her picture taken, she just doesn’t love to hold still long enough for me to actually get a good picture.  These pictures were fun though.

For more wordlessness stop by 5 Minutes for Mom or Wordless Wednesday.
