We can't believe that Hailey is almost two already. She is getting so big and so smart, and is talking more and more all the time. She comes up with funny things to say, like "Cheese-a-mio", whatever that means, and will say ni-night house, byebye house, enunciating every syllable. One day she was being particularly ornery and I about wanted to pull all of my hair out, but after eating all of her lunch I told her "Hooray for Hailey" and she sweetly answered back, "ray a mama" meaning hooray for me. Cute girl. Now she says "hooray a byebye" calls raisins "rayos" and loves to always answer the same things when we ask her what she wants to eat for lunch- chicken, peas, cheese and apples. Not that it's all we feed her, but it's what she always says she wants to eat. She loves to help us clean up messes when it's time for her to go to bed, and will chant, "Clean up! Clean up!" and is learning how to say her colors and many other things. She has recently learned to play with play doh, to climb onto the big kids slides at the park and to play with her daddy's "Darth Tater" (a Star Wars Mr. Potato Head). She loves nursery and loves Elmo and Ernie and loves to watch the Wiggles, and even asks for them each by name. Silly girl. She amazes us all the time with the new things she can say or do. Lately, though, she's been pulling the wallpaper trim off of her wall, not such a cute thing for her to do. Not only does she pull it off, but then she hides the paper under her bed or between the mattress and the end of the bed. So, we know that she knows exactly what she's doing, and also that she shouldn't be doing it! She's way too smart for our own good.
