So posting religiously is a little hard when you're a convert to Toddlerism....yes that's right, Hailey is toddler-ing. I KNOW! I KNOW! Where/how/WHEN did that happen?
Where to even start???! I think last I left off, I was only complaining about Hailey getting teeth! Well, now she has four, count them FOUR FULL teeth... but most importantly, Miss Hailey is now, wait for it.... WALKING. It's the most adorable thing I've ever seen. And although it's more like the Michelin Man waddle, she's pretty quick when she wants to be. I long for the days when I could leave her resting on the floor in her Boppy pillow and fix dinner, or do my hair... or just have a singular train of thought... now it's "Hailey! Get down from the couch!" or "No Hailey! Get out of the fish tank!" WHILE fixing dinner or doing my hair.
She really has grown into her own little person, she now has enough hair for two pigtails, instead of just her little Pebbles hairdo- and funny enough it really makes her look older, not Jon Benet Ramsey pagaent hair older, but she could definitely pass for a strong silent two year old..... and she has grown quite a love for Mommy's mint flavored lipgloss...eating it moreso than wearing it.
But perhaps the best part of Hailey getting closer to one year old is that, Lee is finally finding his place in our little equation. Having a more interactive child has turned Lee into SuperDad and you can just read it all over Hailey's face and to be honest, it's starting to hurt my feelings. I can feel the time is closely upon us where I will slowly take second fiddle and Lee will be the star player. Especially if Hailey keeps up her little daredevil routines, like scaling the gates that keep her off the staircase or climbing the toddler slide at the park with those handy dandy rubber shoe/socks. Dads are always more fun to toddlers and I guess I'll just have to live with it.
So here we are almost a year into parenthood and we're all still standing relatively unscathed..... but we still have to get through the birthday party with the live flame only inches from Her Majesty's grasp... I'll keep you posted... hopefully a little more regularly... knock on wood
