Hailey trimming the tree

Logan just pulled himself up!

Look who's cruising!

And the winner is...Hailey!

Hailey won our neighborhood "Winter Wonderland" photo contest! She got a $50 Visa gift card (which will go towards her numerous Christmas presents) and her pic in the newsletter. I like to call this pic: "Hailey vs. Snowman...the staredown".













Here are some other pics from that snowy day in November...the second big snowstorm of the year!

What's that crinkling sound?

In the car we heard some noise, only to turn around to see Hailey chewing on a travel pack of Benedryl. I asked, "Hailey, are you eating Benedryl?!" Without taking it out of her mouth she nodded "yes".

Big girl bed

Hailey spent her first night in her big girl bed. She only got up a couple of times but overall it's been pretty smooth! In the morning she now bangs on the door in addition to her yelling.

new pack-n-play

We just got this super-light Phil & Ted's Pack-n-play and the kids love to play in it cuz the size opens up like a tent. And it's indoor & outdoor and folds up really small! Now they don't have to sleep in icky hotel cribs anymore.

who's that handsome fella in the mirror?

Logan stands!

He tried to pull himself up today for the first time! Didn't quite make it so I helped him get up but after that he stood quite well!

learning tower

Grandpa assembled the new learning tower today! Until now, Hailey has a little white plastic footstool that she carries around the kitchen to see what I'm doing. Now she can stand on this big platform and I won't worry as much about her falling off! Logan seemed to like it too. BTW, that's Hailey waving at the camera.

Logan's still working on crawling

He's getting closer. He leans forward to crawl but just doesn't move anywhere. Today he managed to balance on his hands and knees though! Not that I'm in any hurry for him to be mobile...

mega blok tower!

Logan eats his hippo

Just having dinner at Sweet Tomatoes...which we haven't been to for months and months!

Eating macaroni impaled on chopsticks...it's gonna be a long meal.

Cooking

Hailey discovere the real pots and pans in the kitchen so she was "cooking" on the floor while I was making dinner. So cute!

Basement playroom

Hailey playing with her "blocks" of tp and kleenex

what's with this cheesestick?

Shopping and riding at CO Mills

New tents, tunnels and ballpit

Exhausted after a fun Costco trip

Bronchulitis hits poor Hailey

Darn those germ-infested playlands! She had a runny nose and slight cough yesterday but when she started wheezing today I took her to the pediatrician. He gave her albuterol but it didn't help so he knew it wasn't asthma. She's very lethargic and I've never seen her so tired. She just lays on me and cries. So sad! It's supposed to last 3-5 days and have to take her back to the doc tomorrow.

I want some fries!
