Plopsa Indoor - Hasselt

What does one do when the weather outside is typical Belgian (rainy!) and the baby wants to do something? Well, they go to the indoor amusement park! I was amazed!

Hayli enjoyed the carousel ride... she rode it at least three times!

They had a great play area too...

I think Hayli's favorite ride was probably the ducky ride.

Hayli went on the froggy ride with Moeke.

Then there was fishing for duckies... do you see the theme? LOL!

Hayli is 10 Months!

Hayli turned 10 months old today. I can't believe how fast the time flies!!!
Here is Hayli with the ever-so-adorable cousin Jack.
I love my little miracle!

NMSU Band

Kindermusik arranged for a special presentation from the NMSU band. It was really fun. Hayli loved all the different instruments. We may have a little Mozart on our hands... =0)

Each of the instruments presented themselves. Here are the trumpets...

Then Hayli and mama marched with the NMSU band while they marched to "Thriller". It is really hard to keep track of us, but mama is in the red sweater in the middle at the very beginning. (Just a warning... The video is long.)

Hayli really enjoyed "Thriller". I was surprised since the instruments were so loud while we were marching, but Hayli seemed unphased!

The Renaissance Fair

After swimming,we went to the Renaissance Fair. We thought Hayli would like the festivities.

"If nobody is going to feed me my baba - I'll do it myself."
Oh so tired after swimming. Hayli slept during the entire fair, but at least she got some fresh air - right?Silly Oma... How did you get yourself in that situation?Awww... Mama is a princess and dada is a prince!

A-Maze-N

Today dada, oma, opa, Hayli, and I went to the annual pumpkin event in Las Cruces. It was a lot of fun!

We saw just how tall Hayli is. She is almost 2 1/2 feet tall!!!


Hayli rode around in her cow named Punkin...

We got a few snacks at the pumpkin patch.

First some cotton candy...

Then some pickle???

We had to go on a hay ride to find the perfect pumpkin for Hayli.

After picking the perfect pumpkin, we went into the corn maze. It was fun pulling around little Hayli's cow... She could be a real cowgirl!

Here is the maze from the air. They make a different design every year!



Here we are exiting the corn maze. If we are still in Las Cruces, we will definitely go again next year!
Here is the silly side of us....



Leaving the maze behind us...

Love This Photo

Conrad took this picture tonight. I love it, because it shows that Hayli is just as loving and sweet as she is active. We were both really tired after a very long and busy day!

Yep... She's Walking (With A Little Help)

I always thought that Hayli would skip crawling. It looks like I might be correct. Here she is walking (with a little assistance from mama) on our bed getting to her toys. I don't think it will be long before she can do this on her own.

A Different Perspective

Everyone knows how much Hayli loves the water. Here she is swimming to Oma. Look at those legs go!

Dada got a video of Hayli going under water. How cool is that?

Hayli discovers that there is more in the water than floating foam balls. What could it be? It's a float board! Hayli could not wait to explore the float board. She is very curious about everything - which is usually a good thing but it can be a bad thing too.

Just a little fun after swimming. What a silly baby!

I think we wore Hayli out... What do you think? =0) Sleep tight sweet baby!

Tickle Monster

There is nothing like the sound of a baby's laughter. We have been blessed with a very happy baby.

Hayli Swimming with Mama

Hayli started swimming at our local Gym Magic yesterday. Hayli LOVES swimming. I don't get any protests from Hayli when we go in, but she is really upset to leave every time! We enjoy our time in the pool.
