happy girl

This was a picture yesterday! Contagious smile!

Well this morning I awoke, expecting to look at the clock to see how much longer I had to sleep before Hailey would have me awake. It is usually always 6:30-6:45 at the latest. But to my surpise it was already 7:15 and she was still sleeping. I decided to enjoy the extra time and go back to sleep for a bit only to awake again at 8:45. Hailey was STILL sleeping!!!! By this time I was starting to get worried and became the over-reactive parent. I went into to check and make sure she was still breathing. I of course thought something had to be wrong if she was still asleep this late. She was snoozing away on her belly as happy and content as could be so I quitey headed out of her room and decided to get ready. I sent Kyle a text message to check and make sure I shouldn't be worried. He of course told me to calm down and she would wake up when she was ready. She slept until 10:15! Can you believe it! HEAVEN!!!!! If only she would sleep like that on the weekends when Kyle and I actually want to sleep in too. Lets just say it was a nice surpise.

Hailey loves to watch baby Einstein and has a favorite Elmo video that she watches at Grandma's house. Elmo's dad sings this song that gets Hailey grinning from ear to ear. Her Grandma (my mom) and I can't resist and we are constantly walking around the house singing "bump baby bump" as we bounce Hailey up and down. It's amazing how at first you are kinda nervous to sing out loud and within just a few months you are doing whatever to make sure they are happy and having fun! :) Well a few weeks ago Grandma bought a baby Elmo for her house. Hailey was ecstatic!!! Then Kyle's parents came to visit and Nana (Kyle's mom) bought

her an Elmo to have at home!!!! She loves that thing! She is finally figuring out how to tickle him herself and loves loves LOVES when he sings to her! Look how happy she is!

Kyle came home from work yesterday and we took Hailey on a huge walk around the neighborhood and back on a few trails by our house! We had a great time and want to continue going for nightly walks as a family. Kyle had a crappy day at work and was happy to be home with his girls! Kyle and I had her laughing so hard last night and I forgot to get out the camera to video it. I promise to do that soon, as she will brighten anyone's day with her smile and giggle! We love our little girl so much!

Well my sweet babygirl is waking up so I better go for now.
