treats and sweets

Yesterday we took Hailey to Meme and Papa's to get her goodies. Every year Meme puts together a bucket of candy and a couple extras for all her grandchildren. This was Hailey first year of being able to enjoy the fun. We took her over in her costume and she was spoiled rotten. You can see below Papa even let her eat part of a Peep, that is until daddy said it was to much sugar and ate it himself :-)




She only tolerates her costume for a short period of time before it becomes to hot. Saturday night she enjoyed a harvest party at the church, tonight there is a parade through town where all the kids wear their costume and walk through town before trick-or-treating. That should be fun to watch! We are trying to enjoy all the festivities we can!
A couple cute stories, Hailey's newest word is baby, and she says it really well. So now whenever she sees her friends, she rubs their heads and says "baby". It is sooo cute! Also, my mom watches her while I am work and taught her to say please. I have the most polite baby in town! Whenever she wants something now she say please - its sounds more like "peas". How do you say no to that?! And she just keeps repeating it until she gets what she wants ... peas, peas, peas!
As far as kisses go, Hailey does give them, but only on her terms, so many times we ask for kisses and don't get them. Well, last night we went to read to her before bed and she kept going back and forth between us giving free kisses. How can we resist such sweetness!
And on the walking front, I have tried off and on to walk with Hailey holding only one hand, but she has been pretty unsteady, this weekend starting Friday when we were out shopping she kept wanting to get down so I tried holding one hand and she did great. I have been practicing with her all weekend and she is becoming a pro. As soon as I let go she plops down on her butt, but I really think this might help give her the confidence she needs to get up and go!
