They grew up so fast

My sweet little girl is almost 2!! I can't believe how fast it has gone by. It makes me want to cry. She's becoming more beautiful, intelligent, and smarter every day. It amazes me how fast she learns things. She is talking all the time. And I mean ALL the time. "What's that mommy? What's that noise mommy? Where's the pumpkins? I wanna see the pumpkins. Come on mommy!!" : )

Haley loves to play with her pumpkins we got at the pumpkin patch. It's usually the first thing she wants to do when she wakes up. She likes to pick them up, bring them to me, and then take them back. She also hugs them and kisses them as if they were babies. She has such  an imagination. We have scarecrows outside as well, and she likes to say hi to them and give them kisses too!

Haley is all about her baby dolls these days. She loves to rock them, feed them, push them around in a stroller, and change their diapers. Sometimes she'll even toss them down the stairs and then ask them if they are ok. "Baby? You ok?" She'll rush down and ask them again, "Baby? You ok?" She'll then pick the baby up and give it a kiss and say, "All better." : )

Haley is so much fun to be around. She keeps Sean and I laughing. Even when she's being bad, she's being cute (It's very frustrating!). We tell each other all the time how hard it is to have such a cute baby !! : ) We are so lucky! 

Another belated blog

It's been awhile since my last blog. Oops!! I'll post a lot of pictures and hopefully I'll be forgiven. : )

Here are our pictures from the pumpkin patch. We wanted to get some good family pictures and some good ones of Haley too. Well, that didn't happen! I mean we got some fun ones of her, but I don't think she's looking at us the entire time! She was having too much fun. She wanted to pick up (and throw) all the pumpkins. They had some baby animals there as well, and that just distracted her even more. It was still a lot of fun and we created some good memories. I'll do an update of all the things my little toddler is doing another time. For now just pictures.

Sean likes the picture below so I'm putting it up. I look silly but whatever! Ha!

Haley's first pumpkin

 

If you can't tell it was sooo windy when we went. Haley's hair was even more crazy than usual. It was a lot of fun, though. I can't remember the last time I'd been to a pumpkin patch. I love making our own family traditions.

I've been meaning to write this for a while, but since my blogs have been lagging I haven't had the chance. I wanted to say how blessed Sean and I are that Haley has amazing grandparents. My mom, who lives 15 minutes away, is always ready and willing to watch Haley. Whether it be for me to run errands, Sean and I to go out, or if I've had a rough day. She'll even keep her overnight if we need her to. We feel so lucky to have her. Sean's parents live in Houston and I know that's hard for them, but they always make up for the distance when we are together. Haley is always showered with love (and gifts) when they are around. : ) This past weekend they came all the way up from Houston just to babysit Haley for Sean and I. We are so grateful that our little girl has such loving grandparents. We appreciate everything you guys do more than you know. Haley is very lucky!
