Halloween

Hailey is so young and doesn't even know what Halloween is, but we wanted her to enjoy her 1st Halloween. We got her dressed in her costume and put her in her red wagon and walked around the neighorhood with the kids next door and across the street. She had a blast.

Pumpkin Picking

Last Sunday, we went Pumpkin Picking at our local farm. I use the words Pumpkin Picking loosely because we actually left with out one single pumpkin....yes I said we went to a pumpkin field and didn't leave with a pumpkin. I believe that it was the coldest day this season, I think the car said 47 degrees before we got out of the car. So we met some friends and family at the field, took some pictures, saw the animals and went on a hay ride. By the time we did all of that, I was FROZEN. Hailey was a little more bundled then I was, she had a hat, mittens and a jacket on. So, I decided that I would get pumpkins at the grocery store where it was warm. Below are a few pictures from our wonderful day....

So serious

Not so serious

Some pictures of Hailey from October

Hailey hanging out in her infant seat, drinking her juice and watching tv. Note: We actually brought this back out for our friends 4 week old to lay in and the next day, she was in it.

Being a trooper....tailgating for the ECU game. It was a little cold.

Feeding herself for the 1st time

Pictures of the Kitchen remodel

Below are some pictures from the kitchen remodel. The kitchen is done with the exception of a few things......but for the most part the remodel is complete.

9 month check up

Hailey went for her 9 month check up on Friday. She is growing like a weed. She is 24.8 lbs and 29 3/4 inches long.....both in the 95% tile. The doctor is happy with her progress. She went from the 83% tile in height to 95%.

Hailey is making so many strides. She is crawling EVERYWHERE and pulling up on EVERYTHING. She loves to hold mommy's hands and walk all over the place. She is so independent. I wonder where she gets that from. LOL

She has battled the ear infection and is all ears now. =) She is also getting teeth number 7 and 8....yes 7 & 8. It is amazing how fast her teeth are coming in.

She is completely on "people food" now. She is such a good eater and loves to try new things. On Sunday, she started to feed herself but only about 3 bots all day. Yay!!

She is still going to bed at 6:30pm and getting up at 5:30am. We have a sleeper on our hands!!!!

Pictures to come......

All about Hailey

Well Hailey is fully on the move now, she is crawling all over the place. She is also now pulling up on EVERYTHING. She loves to holds Mommy's hands and walk around. I don't believe that it will be very long before she is walking all over the place.

She has been battling an ear infection for almost 4 weeks now. She was on the "bubble gum" medicine, which didn't work. Then she was on Augmentin, which killed her stomach and didn't work. This past week she had to get 3 shots, one Thursday, one Friday and then the last one Saturday. This is suppose to clear up the ear infection.......cross your fingers that it does.

So Hailey has made lots of friends in the new neighborhood. There are two little boys that live beside us and a 2 year old little girl and then a little boy across the street as well as another little 2 year old little girl. Today, the girls took turn ridding in the wagon with Hailey. It was so cute. Here are a couple of pictures.

House progess

So we have been working like crazy on the house trying to get it the way we would like it. I found out with our previous home that no matter how long you lived somewhere, you can always find projects to do. We are just trying to tackle one thing off our list at a time. Our big project right now is the kitchen. We ripped out the existing kitchen and are putting up a new one. To-date, our cabinets are in, our appliances are here and our counter tops and sink will be put in on Wednesday. Here are a few pictures of the progress:
