Hi there everyone, I know it's been a long time. My time has been cut short with a toddler that tends to get into everything now. She is walking and talking so much. Learns new things every day. She shakes her head "no" to certain things, and of course the fit throwing has started. So, we're cracking down and having to become the mean parents... Never knew what my parents meant when they said " this hurts me more than it hurts you " lol.

Working good hours and we're on the same shift now, so, we get to see each other more. Getting bills paid off, which is always a good thing. I should have a new baby every year, cause tax time is going to be my favorite time of the year. Better than Christmas... :)

Well, I've got pics up of her first birthday, so, enjoy... Mellissa

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get on here. I finally got that job at the post office. It's driving me insane, lol... IF I SEE ONE MORE ADDRESS LOL But, no, it's really good. The paychecks are what's nice about it. Training went as well as could be expected. But, I'm sure you just want to hear about the baby... lol :)

She has 8 teeth now. Four on top, and four on bottom... She says da da constantly, she has said bath, byebye baby, all those good things, she is almost walking. Just yesterday, Roger told her to shut the door on mommy, and she did it... Standing up holding on to the door jam, and then opened it like "are you still there". It was so grown up.

She has recently started daycare. She has went three days, today was the first day she cried when I dropped her off. She missed me this weekend and didn't want me to leave. She is eating mostly table foods now. She ate a whole cracker taking bites as she went, without smashing it or throwing it in the floor. I was so proud of her. She is not sick anymore, she had a bit of an ear infection and some chest junk. But, she is all better now, thanks to amoxicillin. :)

But, I will put more pics up. I have made another folder and updated her stuff. So, check it out. :)

Birthday plans right now are being made for January 13th. It's a Saturday. I am not sure where or what the deal is going to be. I will let everyone know soon.

Christmas, and overtime at work are keeping us busy.

She is officially known as Hailey the rugrat... as Grandpa Jeff says... :) These new pics, the ones like the one that's featured were taken at 4 in the morning when she wouldn't go to bed... ahhhh

Make sure and check out her Tenth Month album and you will like what you see... :) Thanks to Molly and Nia, for all the new clothes. Hailey is now stocked to the brim of four dresser drawers and a closet full of 9-18 month old winter clothes that have been such a blessing and have helped keep her very toasty and warm while going out in this brutal weather... :)

Hailey had lots of fun this weekend, she went to go see Grandma and Grandpa Edwards... I heard she was the epitomy of cuteness and charm... :) Just like her momma eh?

She is teething the other top three teeth now, crawling all over the place, has recognized the word no, says buhbuh sometimes for byebye and waves hi and bye... sometimes says hey like she means it... says da and hits him to wake him up... :) kind of mumbles mamamamamama when she's upset, and last but not least, signs "more" when she wants more... :) oh yeah and claps... :)

She has started pulling up on stuff and taking steps with help... :) I'm so proud of my cutie pie... Well, that's all for now...

Hi everyone, lots of pictures of Hailey in her ninth month album. She is doing so many new things, it's unbelievable, she turned around in the Wal-mart shopping cart, said "hi" a few times, not anything consistent with saying she knows the word yet... She went from laying on her stomach to sitting up for the first time today, and now scoots backwards when she lays on her stomach, she's getting up on all fours and rocks back and forth, like she's charging up for takeoff... lol She walks all over the kitchen in her walker... She is adorable to say the least.

We have a new addition to her nursery as well, she now has a crib. :) A white one, with Amy Coe bedset that my mother bought me. Thanks to G. Jean and G. Jeff for the crib... That was very thoughtful and we appreciate all your help and support... :)

I am so proud of my little family. Roger is doing really good at the post office, got a couple extra hours this week. So, as soon as paychecks start coming in, we should be back on our feet in no time, hopefully... Well, check out the new pictures and e-mail me because I get bored sitting around here all the time... :)
