Typical Haelley

Ok ladies and gentlemen, this is a very rare thing. These photos are actually brand new from this morning (don't get used to it). She loves to take her sleeper off before I get her out of bed. But, as you can see in the next picture, she had been distracted.

She big into organizing so I guessed she was doing one of two things. One, she was piling her bedding up to make an escape route, or two, she was simply organizing.

I have found her sucking her thumb more and more frequently, I think it's a "bored" thing.

She is learning to smile for the camera. This is one of the rare moments when that command actually worked

Another example of "organizing." After the job was finished she just sat there and sucked her thumb.

She loves it when I do laundry, it's an opportunity for a cruise ship.

Or, possibly a bed. This one had started out with the thumb sucking too, but she started hamming it up as soon as I got the camera.

Baking with Mommy

Flipping pancakes holds some kind of fascination with her. I think they are her favorite thing to make with me.

She is also usually in charge of holding the cookbook.


She didn't quite get the concept of peeling tangerines, so she tried eating the peels, something she wasn't too thrilled with.

This was so much fun! We made Christmas cookies together and it was a blast. I think she probably ate a cup of cookie dough.

This was the easiest way to get to the good stuff.


I don't know why, but the computer wouldn't let me put this next to the pancake pictures, but that's where it's supposed to go.

Thanksgiving in Arizona

This was actually at the airport on the way home from AZ, but it could go either way. :)

All of us were surprised at how well the two got along. They had been taking cooler rides with their matching "Bos"

We weighed the kiddos with a fish scale and then we all took turns trying to see how much weight we could get it to register. This was Jason's turn.

Michael and I were pitted against Mom and Dad. Even though we don't have a picture of it, Mom and Dad won.

Haelley just being cute. I try no to put too many of these on here, because I'm kind of partial. :)

Jason and John bonded over Xbox gaming.
