Picture Dump

I am SOOOO behind. Life has been moving at warp speed around here and the blog has definitely taken a back seat. So here is my attempt at a catch-up.

Thanksgiving: We traveled to Charlotte and had a great time with both families. Unfortunately I didn't get any really cute pictures of Hailey dressed up and with her grandparents but here is what I got...
playing/bouncing on the pool cover with her cousins at Grams and Das' house

her first game of Candy Land with Grams (it lasted about 3 minutes)

 having Das push her around in their new rolling ottomans

holding the new puppy at Ryan's family's Thanksgiving

 Getting sick with her second ear infection at Mimi's house

Poor thing. She definitely didn't feel like herself for our trip home and she and I stayed home from church the next day to rest. I was going to take another pitiful picture of her to send to Daddy at church but this is what I got instead...

Silly girl!

Well, we went all in with potty training which was nearly the death of me, and had lots and lots of laundry to do. One day as I was folding it, or attempting to, someone decided to burrow in it because it was still warm.

We now sleep with thousands of stuffed animals, as many as she can fit in her bed. And sometimes I even hear her talking to them to "move over" because "there's not enough room". Girl loves her animals!

We traveled back to Charlotte for Mack's birthday party and had a little fun at Grams' house with her shower cap.

 and in her new toy box full of, you guessed it, stuffed animals.

 I didn't get any pictures of Hailey with the birthday boy but it was Thomas the Train themed and there was a big ride-on Thomas in the living room. Hailey loved riding on it and had to take Curious George on a ride too.

She had a ball at the party!

Hailey and Daddy have been playing horsey after dinner a lot recently and Hailey decided the other night that she wanted to be the horse and let her baby doll ride on her. Precious!

Well, I think that about catches the highlights: Thanksgiving, sick, potty training, stuffed animal love, Mack's birthday...I'll try to do better...
