When All Else Fails...

Hayli really needs to be entertained at all times. When mama and dada do not entertain her enough, Hayli does it on her own. Too cute!

Our Little Fishy

Today was Hayli's 2nd class in her second term of swimming. She sure does love the water. She wasn't feeling well, so she wasn't as animated as usual. Hayli still did well though.

Hayli is always so happy when Andrea, our swim instructor, releases the colorful balls into the water. (If anyone knows where we can buy such balls - please let me know.)


Here Hayli is collecting balls from the pool at Gym Magic.

Here is a photograph of our class for the second term. (You can click on the picture to make it bigger.)


There is one definite advantage to going to swim class. It really makes Hayli tired!!!

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!

Waving Hello

For several weeks, Mama has been working with Hayli to wave "hello". She is beginning to get it - I think! Mama is a little shaky in the first video...

Tickle Monster

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

Teething Progress

Hayli cut her first two teeth a little over a week ago, but they have really progressed. Now I don't have to hold her down to see those little teeth. Sometimes when she smiles real wide, I can see the two little white mountains peeking out from her bottom gum line. I wonder when the top ones will decide to show up...

Swimming at Oma & Opa's House

Since Hayli loves the swim classes, we bought several water toys for Hayli to play with in Oma's and Opa's pool. One of Hayli's favorite things to do in the pool is swimming and getting the various colored balls that float in the water.

Hayli's favorite color ball is red (no I did not influence her preference... but I don't disapprove). =0)

Since Hayli already uses her legs really well in the water, Conrad and I are trying to teach Hayli how to use her arms in the water. She is beginning to get the concept. What a smart cookie we have!
