Cookie Monster

I'm just 2 weeks behind but this post is so worth it! We started feeding Haley baby cereal every night and video-taped her first attempt at eating from a spoon. Since she loves to put everything in her mouth, she seems to get kind of excited that the spoon actually belongs in her mouth and doesn't taste like plain ole' plastic! She even tries to help hold the bowl and feed herself - but she usually just ends up shoving the spoon against her face making a huge mess...reminds me of Cookie Monster! We were putting her in the Bumbo for cereal time and just yesterday, we put her in her high chair for the very first time and she did great! Her first spoon-feeding video is below, and also some pictures of her in her high chair!

Another huge milestone that Haley reached last week...she rolled over on her own for the first time! It was two weeks ago this Tuesday that she was playing on her back, Kyle turned around to answer the phone, and when he turned back around, she was on her stomach! Back to front first! And then the next day, she rolled over twice for Peggy from stomach to back! I, unfortunately, haven't seen it yet and we have yet to have any successful attempts at capturing it on video but it still happened and I'm so proud! :)

Aside from these things, Haley's doing great. She's such a happy baby; smiling back at people and laughing! It's still my favorite thing when she laughs! She's making lots of sounds and lots of times, they're very loud! No idea who she gets a loud voice from! Just kidding.

Coming up next...Haley's very first Thanksgiving!

Poodles & Candy

Happy Halloween (a few days late)! Haley was a precious little poodle for her first Halloween. Of course we didn't take her trick or treating yet (I handled the candy-eating part!); we pretty much just put her costume on her, took some pictures, and took it off but it was still super cute! The next day, my friend Carrie took some pictures of her in her costume in her front yard, as well as some others. Haley was less than cooperative that day but for the costume pictures, was distracted by the leaves long enough to get a few cute shots. Below are some of Haley's Halloween pictures.

These are a couple other great pictures that Carrie took of Haley...




Stay tuned this week for another milestone caught on video! :)
