Pool Party!

Hailey got her first pool experience this week with it being so hot outside I thought it would be a great time to test out how she likes it.

Needless to say she loved it and cried when I took her out.

This Sat. was pretty warm so we all went out and played in the water.

First food!!!

Well that time has come for Hailey to start solid foods whether mommy and daddy are ready or not. I'm not, I just think she's growing up wayyy too fast but food is essential :) Once we got back from our parents house, Sunday was the big day for Hailey to get her first taste of cereal.
Joel and I prepared ourselves for her to gulp it all down and practically inhale the spoon which is what she usually does with her bottle but we were a little disappointed. There was not much interest there and in fact a shiver of "wow that stuff was nasty".

I gave it a taste as all good moms do to make sure that what they're giving their cutie is only the best. Ok that stuff is NOT GOOD! so I tried to disguise my disgusted look with a strange smile and she did pretty good.

Once it was all done, she was more than happy to take a delicious warm bottle and end with some play time. After about a week of getting used to eating from a spoon, Hailey is doing very well and getting used to something that is not tasty.

Whirlwind visit

Joel had some training to do at Langley so we stayed with my parents for a few days and said our goodbyes before he heads off.



















Dad got ready to grill and found this little guy enjoying some shade. It took a while to get rid of him.


















Hailey had some Uncle David and Aunt Rhonda time. We were able to have dinner on Mothers Day and go to Beamers for dinner on Monday. Hailey had a great time shooting them cute smiles and laughs during our dinner time.

















Hailey's first piano lessons. Grandad and Hailey had a great time playing on the piano.

Hailey loves to look at books and her and Grandad had some quiet time reading about William and Kates wedding.

I finally had an apportunity to introduce Hailey to my BFF that has moved close to my parents. It was such a great time to hang out with Amy and her adorable little Elizabeth. Thanks girls for a great time!

Amy let Hailey borrow a ton of stuff and Hailey dove right in.

Next stop~ Powhatan! We made our next goodbye stop with Joel's family and had a chance to see John and Amy and their kids. (still looking for more pics)

Nana and Hailey had fun watching the kids play outside.

Hailey, sophia and Granddad just hangin out.

Great grandma Nesbit had some play time with Hailey too!

Great grandmother Sloan and Hailey had some play time indoors.

We had a great trip, it was just way too short. Thankfully, Hailey is a very go with the flo baby. As long as she can eat and take naps she's good to go.

Fun pics!

Nothing Hailey loves more than hanging out with her daddy.

I have noticed that the last few post I've done, the pictures are a little fuzzy. Sorry about that. I'm not sure if it's the blog or just my pictures. :(

Hailey and her baby pose look, I couldn't resist.

This past weekend was our churches 50th anniversary. Sunday I finally took time to take pictures of Hailey in her little dress before it was off to the races for the day. This is a dress that her Mee Mom (my mom) had made.
