6 month photos

Before Thanksgiving we had Hailey's 6 months photos taken by the very talented Jocelyn. She kindly didn't post them until after Christmas as they were gifts for the family (who often check her blog). Check 'em out... she did a great job, we couldn't be happier! http://jocelynpics.blogspot.com/2008/12/hintons.html

first christmas

Hailey's first Christmas couldn't have been more perfect, especially with all the snow. We continued our tradition of spending the eve with the Hinton's and the day with the Pesacreta's. Hailey must have been a very good girl the past 7 months, she made out like a little burglar!
the ribbons kept her occupied while we opened presents

i can get use to this santa guy...

(may have to put this one under the tree again next year)

these two love their binks

our lil' peanut is 7 months

I don't know why, but I just can't get over that it's been 7 months already! Time sure does fly when you're having fun... and fun is an understatement of what the last 7 months have been. The past couple of days have shown all the signs of her first tooth coming! I'm expecting it to pop out any minute now... stay tuned! Here are a few of my favorites from the past couple of weeks.

first pig tail! (not sure if it actually counts)

winter wonderland

We left Hailey with Grandma & Poppy and went to Matt & Marnae's cabin for the weekend. It started snowing on the way there and it seemed like it didn't stop the entire time we were there, it was so beautiful. We had a fun, relaxing weekend and if it weren't for Hailey we wouldn't have wanted to leave.

Thanks for an awesome weekend Matt & Marnae!!

all aboard!!

Joe was very excited to have Hailey share in his christmas train tradition this year. She was fascinated watching it go round & round. Emma hid behind Hailey the entire time, she hates it.

it didn't take her long to figure out she could grab it as it went by

you call that a beard? i call that weird!

Hailey isn't too sure about that stuff on dad's face. I'm not either Hailey... you've gotta pick your battles.
