beautiful

My dad took these on our trip last week. We can never get her to smile in an actual picture at this stage in her life, but I think these actually came out beautiful!


On the update front, Hailey has taken gymnastics for about a month now and absolutely loves it. She is really blossoming and talks about it all week. When we started in the class she was beginning her "scared" phase and so in her first class she was scared of everything, but now she jumps on the trampoline all by herself, she tumbles and flips with the teacher and even walks the balance beam high off the ground. Today we were just thinking back to how far she has come in the class in such a short time. It is also great for her to be around other kids her age and she already has made some new "friends".

On the sleeping front she is regressing. She has ALWAYS slept through the night. Even when she is sick she sleeps through the night, but lately she has been getting up and wanting to sleep with us. I am working on putting her back in her own bed, but its so much easier to put her in with us and fall asleep (bad mommy). The trouble is, sometimes she just lays awake and talks at 3am! Help me! Last night she was up at 3am, then up at 6am! I think the reason she is waking is due to noise. Our heaters make noise sometimes and she is now "scared" of them which doesn't help, then once she is up why not come to mommy and daddy's room. So tonight I need to be firm and bring her back to bed even if it means less sleep for me :-)
