February

This February was a bit unusual for Texas. We had lots of snow and ice. I got about 4 days off because of it. With the ice came a gallbladder attack for me. This one lasted about 4 1/2 days. If it wasn't for the ice, I would have gone to the hospital. Hailey enjoyed the time I had off with her.

This month Grandpa Mike came to visit. We went up to the Decatur swap meet for the day ad Hailey was so good. I don't have any pictures because it was dirty and I was worried we might get run over.

Hailey still only has 4 teeth. They are trying to come through. She has a fever one day this month and I thought that tooth would come through, but it did not. We gave her cherry licorice for the first time and she loved it. It made a bigger mess than we expected.

January

Hailey has been able to point to her nose when asked since November. We have been working on finding her ears and eyes. She still loves watching Signing Time on Youtube. Hailey got to see snow again. This time we took her outside to see it.

I've been trying to introduce table food. It hasn't been going well. Her favorite thing to eat is still chicken nuggets. I tried giving her Hamburger Helper and she liked that. See picture below of Hailey feeding herself. I also tried Cheerios. These are not a favorite. Hailey enjoys feeding mommy more than herself.

She still loves her bear Bob and takes him all over the house with her. Hailey occasionally licks the floor as she crawls around. I happened to get a picture.

Christmas

Ready for our long trip to South Carolina

I'm keeping my eyes on you

This Christmas we drove to South Carolina. It was so nice to be with family for Christmas. Hailey got to meet her Great Grandmama. The drive there was awful. We left Texas at 7pm (central) and arrived in South Carolina at 4pm (eastern). Hailey cried for most of the trip. I think we slept for about 3 hours. While we were visiting Hailey was extremely cranky and wouldn't left me put her down. Thank god my mom's neighbor let us borrow her high chair because that was the only way I could put her down. She did cut another tooth while we were there, making this 4. Hailey loved Grandma & Grandpa's dogs. Rambo loved her right back. I really enjoyed being with my family for Christmas since Matt & I usually spend holidays alone. The snow was nice too.

The trip home was much better. We left South Carolina at 6pm (eastern) and got back to Texas at 11am (central). Hailey slept for most of the trip this time. Can't wait to try this trip again.

Happy First Birthday!

Hailey celebrated her first birthday with a Very Hungry Caterpillar party. Nana, Grandma Susan, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Kevin & Grant came to celebrate. Her favorite present was a shopping cart. We put her bear Bob in it and pushed him all around the house.

November = TEETH!

Hailey usually sleeps from 7pm till 7am. This month she decided to wake up early. I really enjoy sleeping late on the weekends but she has been getting up between 6 and 6:30.

I have been checking Hailey's mouth daily looking for teeth. They have been bothering her for some time now. They were right there for so long too. On November 22, she stuck Matt's finger in her mouth and there was her 1st tooth. Two days later, she did the same thing to me and there was number 2.

We had some company this month. Nana came to visit from Vermont and Grandma came to visit from Arizona. Hailey loves when people come to visit her.
