Her first Sunday home we had a blast dressing her up and putting a bow in her hair.
She doesn't do this face as much now, but for the first month it was a usual. We loved it!
We wanted to see if Hailey fit her new umbrella stroller. All bundled in a blanket we secured her whole body with the waist belt.
Her hair is so cute! We don't know yet exactly what color it's going to be. It's a pretty light brown now and it's getting long.
Hailey loves the mobile from Aunt Jeanette and Uncle Ed. It's so precious to watch her be amused and fascinated by such simplicty. She studies the pieces so hard.
We were trying to get a cute family snapshot, but Hailey didn't really like the idea.
We occasionally had to supplement in the beginning and we were entertained by her "milk fangs" left behind.
This is a usual face for Hailey. She's a very happy and smiley baby. Matt's especially good at getting big smiles...you'll see below.
I love dressing her up, especially for church. She looks so cute in her dresses. That's a yawn, not a cry, by the way.
Hailey seems to know that when daddy comes homes it's time to play. She gives him this expectant look as if to say, "Okay, daddy, what are you going to do next to make me smile." It's so entertaining to watch them play. I don't know what's cuter - her smile or his silliness in attempt to make her smile.
She's really good at looking at the camera for me. It makes for cute photos like this one, but it also makes it difficult when she's doing something cute I want to catch on film and she gets distracted by the camera.
We take turns spending tummy time with her. She looks around with her head up for a while then gets tired and puts her head down to rest.
This was taken on her 2 mo. birthday when we were out for her first mommy-baby outing.
Hailey has very big hands with long skinny fingers. They are so adorable. It was funny when she discovered them with her mouth - but I have to watch her - they're so long she gags herself pretty easily.
This was funny. Matt was at priesthood so Hailey and I were making him a special dessert. I put Hailey up on the counter to watch me and had the idea to give her a spatula for a picture. She grasped onto it, but being the first weighted item she's held, she didn't have any control of it and it touched her forehead, leaving chocolate behind. The photo makes it look like she's learning young how to eat the extras off the spatula.
She's such a fun and pleasant baby. Here she was laying on the bed while I was doing things. She's pretty self-entertained when I need her to be.
It's so precious what she finds to study. She gets a serious look on her face and looks long and hard at something. The other night she was staring at Matt's solid-colored shirt. I pointed to where she appeared to be looking, then moved my finger to point somewhere else on his shirt. She followed my finger several times with a determined look on her face. Matt and I started laughing at her innocence and she broke out into a grin but kept her eyes steady on my finger. It's so fun to watch her learn little things and be fascinated so simply.
