The Pumpkin Patch and Carving

We went to Bauman Farms last weekend, Saturday with the Smidt side and Sunday with the Gray side. We had a great time and Hailey was wiped out both days. This weekend we picked up our pumpkins from Grandma and Papa Smidt and got busy carving them. Hailey thought it was ok. She didn't want to touch the "guts" but had a good time taking the spoons and running around the garage. Maybe next year she'll really get into it.

Dress-up

Hailey loves to tote things around the house and really likes this belt of Ryan's because it "clinks" when she walks. Since she was playing with the belt and the headlamp, Ryan decided to dress her up. She thought it was great!

15 Month Stats

Hailey is growing "up" like crazy! "Out"...not so much. She's 31.5 inches tall and weighs a whopping 20.5 pounds. Such a skinny- minny. She is talking up a storm and becoming very opinionated. She now says: Momma, Dadda, banana, Don (boy at daycare), eat, drink, night-night, and hey. She can sign for washing her hands and has her own version for more. I can't believe how fast this is going.

Mastering the stairs

Hailey has been practicing going up and down the stairs at Grandma and Papa's house. I think she has finally gotten the hang of it. Now if mommy would just put her in stretch pants instead of jeans she could go fast!

NIght Night

Hailey has been talking up a storm. She can (meaning when she wants to) say juice, eat, banana, night night, num num, woof woof, open, up and Don (a little boy at daycare). When she is ready for a nap or ready to go to bed she grabs her blankey says night night and finds a place to lay down or tries to climb in your lap. Here is a picture of her laying on the floor waiting for someone to put her in the crib....Maybe now is the time to change the crib into the toddler bed, then she can put herself to sleep when she is ready.
