Hayli's Fortress

Hayli has claimed one of our end tables as her fortress, thus requiring mama to clean it and remove the numerous dangers that used to be on, in, and around the newly found fortress! Hayli is worth the extra cleaning though!!!

Anna & Hayli BFF

Hayli really likes having her LC friends, but Anna took a special place in Hayli's heart right away. They are so cute when they play together. It is so sweet!!!

Anna got Hayli a cute outfit with Hayli's name on it for Hayli's 1st birthday. TOO cute to not take photos! Anna and Hayli are supermodels!!! =)

Tumble Bugs - Butterflies

Hayli's second gymnastics class was today. She had a really good time!

Moving Grandma

Conrad, Hayli, and I took some of our day today to help Grandma with the movers. Grandma moved to Las Cruces from Sacramento a week ago, but the movers could not get to the new house until this afternoon. Opa is in crutches because his knee busted last night. Hayli seemed to think that Opa's crutches were just another toy for her to play with... good thing Opa didn't fall!!!

Wibbly Wobbly

Hayli amazes us on a daily basis with her new skills. Today I was just talking to her like normal. "Hayli where is your binky?" Normally her response is "I don't know... you find it." BUT today, Hayli got up and got the Binky for me. AMAZING!!!

Also, Hayli is learning how to stand up after falling. The technique is quite unique.

Photo Contest

In October, we all went to the pumpkin patch in Las Cruces. In January, I submitted some of Hayli's photos for the photo contest that the owners of the pumpkin patch. I must admit the photos were supposed to arrive no later than the 15th of January, but I didn't even get the photos out until the 16th hoping that the owners would see our little cutie and not be able to resist her. Of course they couldn't - Hayli won honorable mention. WOOHOO!!!

Leaps and Bounds

Every day Hayli learns new things. It is really hard to keep up with her...

Today Hayli decided to pick up a new instrument (thank you Auntie Elisabeth for these!).

"DOGS!!!"

Hayli is also beginning how to feed herself (scary stuff for mama - and a lot of clean up involved!).
