Spring Break

Hailey and I took another trip down to CA last week. My mom was on spring break so we figured it would be a perfect time to go down. Usually when we go down my mom is working so we only get to hangout and play in the afternoons and evenings. This time we had lots of time to do lots of fun things. I was a bit more nervous flying this time around with Hailey just b/c she is a lot more mobile and wiggly. But she did just fine. I took lots of little snacks and books and toys to try to entertain her. Not going to lie...it was a long hour and a half! Hailey loves her cousin Lucas and was excited to see him every morning. He would come in our room when he heard her wake up and she would just light up. She also loved to follow our dog Dusty around. She loved getting kisses from him and touching his nose.

So in an attempt to not overwhelm people with the outrageous amount of pictures that I would love to post, I made collages. Sorry if it's a lot to look at. It's more for me anyway!

First off we went to the beach. Hailey wasn't real crazy about the sand, but did play with it in her hands a little. Love Salt Creek!

We celebrated Hailey's first Birthday at Nana & Papa's also! We made her this cute cupcake cake!

We had to go to Disneyland! Hailey loved it and was such a trooper the whole day...most of the time! Also, first piggy tails!

We took the kids to Irvine Park. It's all decorated for Easter. It's the same place they have the pumpkin patch so Lucas calls it "The Easter Egg Patch!" Lucas went on an Easter egg hunt, decorated cookies, got his face painted, jumped in the bounce house and we took a train ride around the park.

We headed down to San Diego to visit with my grandparents. We went down to Old Town and went to the newly remodeled Mormon Battalion. It was awesome! If you get a chance, go visit.

Lucas dressed up like the soldiers...kind of. 

While down in San Diego we made a trip to the San Diego Zoo. It's such a big zoo, you could spend a couple of days looking around it.

Met up with my dad's parents and his brother's family for breakfast. Haven't seen my cousins in a while!

Here's a few extras:

Yo Gabba Gabba shirts that out Auntie got us! Toodee & Plex.

12 Months

So this past month Hailey turned one. I can't believe how fast that year went! It doesn't seem like it's been that long at all. Hailey has mastered crawling and pulling herself up on things. She loves to walk around holding onto things. And she is so close to walking! One day it will just click. She eats and eats and eats! I swear this girl never gets full! I have to just cut her off sometimes and she is not happy about it. She loves eating finger foods and feeding herself. She has a little temper...this must come from Brandon! But she will scream and kick her legs when she doesn't get her way sometimes. She has also been known to hit. I don't know where she learned these things! She loves stuffed animals. Anything plush. She just will hug them and love them. So cute! She likes to dance and shake her booty! Loves dogs. Claps her hand every time you say good job. Tries to cover her eyes to play peek-a-boo. Extremely attached to her mom! Don't really know what to do about it. Words she says or tries to say: ma-ma, da-da, uh-oh, ta-da, pa-pa, thank you, ba-ba, no, night-night. Jibber jabbers all the time!

12 Month Stats

Length: 31 in. -- 95th percentile

Weight: 25lbs 15.5 oz. -- above 95th percentile

Head Circumference: 46.0 cm -- 75th percentile

*Note: The nurse measured her at 30 1/4 in. (85th percentile) but I watched her do it and it looked way wrong. So I came home and re-measured and got 31 in.
