Fun in the Sun!

This past week Nate, Hailey and I went to Arizona to visit with Nate's family. We had such a WONDERFUL visit! It always ends way too soon, but needless to say, we are glad to be home and back into our "routine". We flew out on Sunday and stayed in Mesa for a couple of days, then we went back to Sierra Vista and stayed there with his parents until Friday, when we then went back to Mesa. The weather was beautiful and HOT! It was Hailey's first time experiencing "heat" and she did great. She also did AWESOME on the plane. People commented that they didn't even know a baby was on board! While we were there though, she did get sick and ended up with ear infections and now is on an antibiotic.. but she's getting better everyday! At first she didn't like her medication, but now she takes it pretty well for me. You just have to do it slow and steady!

So, it's been a while since I've posted and so much has changed! Well, things with Nate and I are the same, but Hailey is getting bigger and more fun every day! Here are some updates on Little Miss-

She LOVES books. I mean LOVES books! She loves to cuddle, she's almost sitting up all by herself..(she can in grass, thanks auntie Meg!-I mean Mandy:))) She talks ALL the time, she love's her bouncy, she helps mommy in the kitchen in her bumbo seat, she loves animals, she's such a water baby and pretty much cries when you take her out. she's 6 months old! She's up-to-date on her shots... (so it's okay if she bites you!) She's already captured her daddy's heart... (he's on a VERY short leash! ) She loves to dance around, and listen to music. She thinks I'm amazing!:) She's getting really long hair on top of her head.. just need to work on the sides and the back... She's getting chunky legs:) She is SUCH a FLIRT! she'll smile and talk to just about anyone who tells her how pretty she is! ... She's just so darn cute! I love her so much and can't imagine my life without her!
Here are some of the pictures from our trip.. I tried to get them in order but that's not happening tonight!- enjoy!
