Look Who's One!

On Monday March 28th Hailey turned one! I still can't believe it has been a year. I seriously feel like I just brought her home from the hospital for the first time. She is just the best thing that has ever happen to our family. We have learned so much from her and just love her to pieces!

We wanted to throw her a little party....so on Saturday the 26th we had friends and family over for cake, ice cream and fun! Hailey had fun playing with the neighbor kids, opening a few presents and eating cake!

Dressed and ready to party!

Playing!

In Our Future...

I looks like we'll be needing to learn how to share in the future. We took Hailey to Old Navy and Brandon bought her one of those 25 cent bouncy balls. She wouldn't let us see it after that. It was really funny. Now occasionally when she has something and I ask for it she will totally turn away. Oh boy.

Give Away!

Heads up Utah friends! Check out this blog! She is a great photographer giving away a free session this week! I'm dying to win this for Hailey's first year pics! Enter yourself and cross your fingers!

Beginning the Binky Battle...

Hailey is very attached to her binky and has been from a very early age. She has never been a very good self soother and wanted to suck as soon as she was out of the womb. It was great when she finally figured out how to find her binky and put it in all by herself. But now that she has all these teeth coming in (eight...almost nine) I'm starting to think we should break her of it. It's going to happen in the future so why not do it sooner than later and hopefully it won't be so bad. At least I'm hoping. We are trying to just give it to her at nap times and bed time. But we finally gave in this evening because of the crankiness. Ugh. Hopefully we are strong enough to follow through. If not we'll be having this conversation later...
