expanding vocabulary

Hailey is surprising me and everyone else for that matter with her expanding vocabulary. Everyone who meets her cannot believe how much she talks! At least speech therapy is one less therapy we have to worry about :-)
Right now the words we can understand are ... please, mommy, dada, baby, nana, dooda, papa, unca (for uncle) and I swear she says Meme, but Meme doesn't believe me because she never says it around her. Now as of yesterday she has added a few more words to her vocabulary. First off, in the morning I was getting her up and she was reaching for her blanket and said banky! Then that evening she was playing peek-a-boo with one of mommy and daddy's friends Jami. Well, right in the middle of the fun, Hailey said peek-a-boo clear as day!!! We were all shocked. Lastly, daddy was holding her last night and she was fussing because her binky fell out, well, I went to take her from him to calm her down and right out of nowhere she stops crying looks at me and says "binky". So add banky, binky and peek-a-boo to the list. She also, loves to sing and absolutely LOVES music. She walks around and hums on occasion, for some reason she especially likes to hum and kick her foot while eating. She also loves to exaggerate her chewing and then just looks at me and laughs! She has a cd player/radio in her bedroom and while we are in there playing I turn on the radio. As soon as she hears it she turns around, smiles big and walks over to it to start dancing.

Also, a walking update, she is now a pro. The things we are now working on is when and if she falls to be able to stand up and get back to walking in the middle of the floor. If she does fall she crawls to the nearest surface to stand herself up again. Also, for some reason the PT brought up climbing stairs and climbing on the couch. Well, she mastered the stair climing, but we are working on the couch. Who would have thought I needed to teach my child to climb on the couch?! Really, its to high for her so I have to give her a boost. She does know how to turn around and get off.

I don't have any pictures, but I had to note that last night Hailey was able to play with her friends Adia (16 months) and Jazmine (13 months). They are all walking now and its so cute to watch them all interact and play.

Here are a few new pictures ...

After her bath, can you tell how tired she is?!

Drinking her milk before bed with Meme -
Look how big she is getting!!!!

On that note, we have finally switched to whole milk and this time we did it without any strange rashes or vomiting!!! YEAH!
