March of the Penguin!

After many weeks of hanging onto furniture and walls Hailey is starting to waddle on her own (Ryan thinks she looks like a penguin). She is really catching on and is realizing that she can walk and fall without getting hurt. For the last 2 weeks she was trying to drag one leg behind herself in order to maintain balance. Unfortunately her "peg-leg" was really causing her to fall. Hailey is now bending her legs and taking off. As always this is on her terms. Whenever I try and show her off and put her down she pulls her legs up so she doesn't have to stand. What a stubborn little girl we have! Please excuse the ceiling view in the video since I set my phone down to help Hailey up.

South Beach






Here are some pictures from our South Beach trip with the Smidt family.

Videos for Dad

Ryan has been traveling a lot this summer, so I have been trying to take videos and lots of pictures to send to him. Hailey has personality has really started to "shine." After I shoot the video Hailey loves to sit and watch the little girl on the screen. She laughs at the things that are happening and is just fascinated by the baby. Hailey loves to play with her ball. She will sit and push, bounce and throw the ball back and forth with me. She will chase the ball and use the cupboards or wall to play with herself. She is growing so fast!
