Like mama like baby!

Smell it....Taste it....Love it....Hate it!!

I love sour stuff...and when I first got pregnant I would eat lemons and limes with salt...Probably why my girl wants to try 'em! ;-)

I was making hamburgers for dinner the other night and I like to sprinkle them with lemon. Hailey saw the lemon and got kind of excited...so I let her try it!!

Cell Phone Crazy

Woman get off that phone!!

I love talking mobile to mobile with my bff Hailey!

How you doin'?

I love cell phones! They taste soooo good!

I would like to introduce to you Boston, Hailey and Camryn! They are the rat pack that hangs at Beth's house everyday. Apparently they went in together on a family plan with Verizon so they could talk for free...whatev! Kids these days!!

Free Chic-fil-A

Dress up in a sport's jersey and get a free sandwhich...DONE and DONER!! Hailey got one too! Score for having a cute kid!!! ;-)

Copy Cat

This was the same day as Hailey's pic, but about an hour later!

I almost peed my pants laughing when I walked in the room!!

Special Delivery

I just walked in and she was in the box...sort of...I might have put her in it! ;-)

Flawless

I will bribe you with diamonds if you come...
Time for the Flawless Masquerade Fairy...LOVE IT!!

Sharing is caring!

"Let me tell you a little something about sharing...It goes like this...Nice huh? Oh, I know!"

:-)

Now who is narrating this no one knows, but it certainly is fun to watch!

BFFs

So I was arriving at Beth's house the other day, and for those of you who know me you know that the minute the bell rings at school I am at Beth's house, and there was Johnathan.

Seeing him at her house so early was weird, so I asked him what was up. He said he had to help out at a football game and he was going to take Cammi! I couldn't have that, seeing as she is a lady and would need to be indoors on that super hot day, so we invited her over to play!!


It was so much fun watching the two girls play together. Camryn is 3 months older than Hailey and is much more mobile, so it was interesting to see what I need to change in the house before Hailey can crawl! I noticed the Willow Tree I have on the book shelf, the candles on the table, the glass bowl I fill with candy...among other things!! It was good to have her around. I will be much more prepared for Hailey to crawl now!


It was also super fun to watch them play together. I was especially proud of myself for answering the door when Jana got there with NO BABIES in my arms! I had two babies and both were having fun with each other! It was the most I have been able to put Hailey down after school ever!!

We really enjoy having Cami over!! And her mama too!!

Mama's lesson

On Saturday August 23 we had to make a special visit to mommy's classroom! Yeah I wasn't ready to start the school year, so as a trade for taking their maternity pictures, I convinced Matt and Courtney they had to come to my class and help me hang posters and organize desks! John had to come as collateral damage...his wife...he has to help! Hailey was such a big help that she passed out...not too different from my students I might add!

Matt and Courtney reminiscing about how school used to be! ;-)

Hailey telling daddy that she's a big girl and can walk to class by herself!

NOT! You know John will be driving behind the school bus the whole way on Hailey's first day of school...!

Trying

Hailey is trying to crawl...she hasn't been too successful yet. Really she just rocks back and forth, but it's fun to watch her learning! Honestly (watching little Camryn Kirksey) I'm not all that excited about her learning to crawl, or growing up for that matter, because that means she'll be more independent of us...But for now she is still stuck where we left her! LOL (insert wicked laugh here!)

All I can say is that Hailey is certainly trying! Oh, and she can roll over now too! We finally understand what Molly was saying when she commented on Malachi ending up on the wrong side of the crib after he learned to roll over!

Noah's Ark Baby

I love this picture of Hailey!! I can't put my finger on why, but I think it's soooo cute!! She is going to be just like her Auntie Laurie (or Auntie Mandie for that matter), bringing home every critter she finds walking on the side of the road (the kitty), jumping in the gutter (the froggie), swinging by the school (the monkey), bathing in the pond (the elephant), or chewing on our roof (the giraffe)! I just know it!!

For those of you who don't know Hailey is signing "food/eat" in ASL...

Or maybe mommy snapped the camera at exactly the perfect moment to make it look like we have a child genious! Or maybe we do...guess you'll never know!

Insert Western music here...

The standoff between Hailey and Gracie (that's the cat!)

Bathroom Baby

I am happy to say that Hailey has brought out the girly girl in me...

Mommy's earring collection is an obvious magnet for a little girl!

So, here is a little montage of Hailey's visit to mommy's bathroom!

She already has a teenager perspective of herself...

it's all about her, and she's cute too!

I always knew Hailey was small, but this is ridiculous! She totally fits in our sink!!

And yes it's always that clean! ;-)

Chewing on mommy's hair clip...shoot if she had more hair it would probably be in it!

Hailey Bay or Bailey Hay if you're dyslexic!

Hailey didn't like her bouncer at first...

But she gave it some thought...

And decided it wasn't half bad...tasting!

Ha Ha school pictures!

Just thought if you were in need of a laugh today...

School pictures never get easier to take, and when you don't know they are coming they are even more fun!

Yeah...

:)

New website!

So you all know how much I love scrapbooking...well I think I am even more in love with webbooking (my own (I think) creative word for scrapbooking on the web)!! There's no glue, cutting, or crooked lines! So for my fellow webbookers I must introduce you to a new website I learned about this week at work. It's called wordle and it creates word collages...another one of my favorite things!! I will be using this for a long time, and I might even get some of them printed and framed! You can visit wordle at http://www.wordle.net/

Some tips for making your wordle even more special:

Enlarging words: repeat the word several times in your post

Strings of words: connect each word with a hypen (-)

Aladdin

Hailey watched her first Disney movie this weekend...or it was on and she just happened to also be in the room while it played! She didn't really watch it, but I am happy to say her first movie was multi-cultural and ethnic. Very important things to John and I... ;-) Honestly, Aladdin was my favorite movie as a girl, next to Sleeping Beauty and Lion King!

Thanks to Disney and Wikipedia for the picture...

I just left a meeting about copyright laws at school...

so I'm not messing around with that drama!!

shoes shoes shoes!

We had a very girly photoshoot today!! Auntie Court came over and brought some of her nicest shoes!! Hailey actually loved every minute of this shoot and so will you!! Enjoy!!
