too much cuteness?!

Is there such a thing as too much cuteness?! If so I think Hailey can be classified in that category. I had to share a couple cute things Hailey is doing because I never want to forget them. First of all, I have already shared that she started saying Santa. Well, she is still obsessed with Santa. For christmas she got a cute Noah's Ark Little People Set and she thinks Noah is Santa. So everytime she opens it up and says Santa I can't help but laugh. I also have to note she has learned to say Jesus as well, so everytime she sees a nativity scene or Noah's actual ark she says Jesus. I guess the nativity scene and ark look alike to a toddler?!
Also I have been practicing teaching her body parts and tonight she got it. At least her head and her nose. She even said nose! She just gets smarter every day. Her new favorite song is the alphabet song. She got a doggy for christmas that sings the alphabet song. She tries to sing with him, but starts at "d". She also sings the clean-up song with me. I am not sure if I heard this song somewhere or made it up, but when I used to babysit Ashleigh we would sing the clean-up song when picking up toys. A few weeks ago I started it with Hailey. She loves that song and will now sing it with me and its clear enough that you can tell what she is saying.
She is also going through a phase where she loves books! She will sit down and pull books off her shelf and open each one, put it aside, pull at another - until the whole bookshelf is empty. If I am in there with her she hands them to me and lets me read about a page till she is ready for the next one. Tonight though she decided she didn't want to share and everytime she would pull one out she would pretend to hand it to me then withdraw and laugh.
Lastly, my mom taught her "ouch". Whenever Hailey takes off my mom's glasses, my mom says ouch. Well, now Hailey has learned I say ouch when she pulls my hair - so on it goes - she pulls I say ouch - she repeats with an "ow" and then laughs at me.
Silly, silly, silly ... thankfully she doesn't pull hard, but I better break this habit before its too late.
And to end this post, my little cuteness is sick with a cold and breaking a few teeth through all at once. Today is the worst of the cold so far. You can hear the congestion in her chest when she coughs, stuffy nose etc ... but as long as she is in good spirits and sleeps through the night we are o.k. Maybe I shouldn't jinx myself. Lets hope it stays this way and tomorrow she is a little better.

Baby kisses ...
I was laying on the floor and she attacked me with kisses.
