Memory Game

Moeke brought Hayli the game that Mommy loved so much as a little girl with her from Belgium. It is a memory game where you match up the animals. Only this memory game matches the mommies with the babies. It is so cute! Seems Hayli enjoys it too! Moeke tried to teach Hayli how not to cheat during the game... It is still a work in progress!

She is WALKING!!!

Hana started walking at 10 months... Then she was hospital and did not even try to walk. Well, today she decided she was going to walk full stop. No stopping after a couple steps anymore! Maybe Hana was just waiting for Moeke to show up?

Dancing Dancing Dancing

Today Hayli decided that dancing is a lot of fun. She wanted to dance - not swim. Good thing it wasn't a swim day! LOL!

Hana's First Swim

Today was Hana's first swim -- ever! At first, she did not like it AT ALL! She cried and cried. After a while though, she was better. She even liked blowing bubbles under the water!

All the water fun wore Hana out... she took a really good long nap!

Cowboy Days

Daddy, mommy, Hayli, and Hana went to the Cowboy Days at the Farm and Ranch Museum here in Las Cruces. The girls had a great time! It was a nice morning and great to get out of the house in into some fresh air. Hayli and Hana were cowgirls for the day! The organizers made some stations to train junior cowboys and cowgirls. Hayli did all the stations. I had more fun watching her than I think she had doing them! LOL

Leather Stamping

Lassoing a Calf

What kind of gun do you want cowgirl? A big one or a smaller one? "A BIG ONE!!!"

There is more than one way to ring a cactus.

Hayli getting branded with an "H".

Hayli really looked forward to riding the ponies. She also fed them. Hayli is an animal lover. I think she got that from mommy...

Hayli played at the playground while waiting for the carriage ride. She really cracks me up!

Old-fashioned carriage ride!

Hayli and her new found friend Claire... Hold onto your hats cowgirls... we are in for a ride!

Spa-tacular

As a fundraiser, one of the preschools in town did a spa-tacular for little girls. It was a lot of fun. I was not sure if Hayli would be into it or not, but it sure seems like she has a girly girl side to her after all! She got her nails done...

Make-up done...

And hair done...

Hana was there to cheer Hayli on!

Beauty was not the only thing to be done. The organizers also did crafts! Purses, frames, and crowns were there to be decorated!

Hana's Follow Up Appointment

My poor baby is back at the doctor's office to have a follow up. Good news is that Dr. Settles checked Hana from head to toe, and found that she seems to be absolutely fine medically. Hana still isn't walking again. This is really beginning to worry me. Doctor says this can happy -- babies regress when they are hospitalized. The kidney reflux came back negative, so that is great news! I am just happy to bring Hana home and cuddle with her!!!
