Hailey

Hailey is now 19 months old, and she is VERY active. She loves to dance, whenever she hears music and will ocassionally try to sing with the song if she's in the mood. Her favorite song to dance to is "Black horse and the Cherry tree". But it doesn't take much to get her moving.

Hailey recently fell down the stairs and broke her arm. She was cranky for the first day, but has adjusted to her cast pretty well. You'd never know she had one, if it weren't so darn bright. She has learned to use the cast to her advantage and play the sympathy card, when she needs to. The other day she was emptying the dirt out of the potted plant, when I was scolding her she grabbed her arm and said "owie"! The hardest part about the cast has been keeping it dry. She loves the water! Bathtime has been extremely challenging.

Hailey has been our messiest child, so far. Braxton never liked to get dirty and would freak out if he even got sand on his feet, but Hailey doesn't care. There has never been a day when she hasn't gotten her clothes covered in something, whether it be food, dirt, marker, juice or anything that can be messy.
