Best Buddies

Now that Hayley is mobile, Ethan likes to follow her around; imitates her crawling and now he thinks he is strong enough to "carry" her when he is just really holding her. While trying to get a good picture of the both of them, I caught some cute shots. Enjoy!

Who is the Cool One?

Hayley tried on her new sunglasses which she got from a friend's birthday party. She seems to like wearing it and decided to pose with her favorite dog. How cute!

Hayley is 9 Months Old!

Hayley is now 9 months old! Where did all the time go? Her checkup today went well; she weighed in at 16lbs 8.5oz (10-25%) and measured 26.5 inches (10-25%). She now has 2 bottom teeth, crawls everywhere, claps her hands and makes lots of sounds. She can also pull herself up and stand with support. She loves to eat and always has her eyes on our food. She also likes to play with Ethan and wants company. If we leave her in her crib or Pack N' Play, she would call for us. Now, let's see when she can start walking!

Someone is Hungry...

Hayley has 2 bottom teeth now and it seems like she wants to chew on anything she can get a hold of. Check this out...I never thought this would be tasty!

Happy New Year!

A new year is ahead of us - 2010! Hope everyone had a nice holiday season. Now that the busy holiday season is over, it's time for a new year. It has been a great 2009 for us with many exciting events; Ethan's first day at daycare, Hayley's birth, my dad's move to the US, Ethan's first day at Montessori, Lee and my 10th year wedding anniversary and Hayley's first Christmas to name a few. Here's wishing everyone a healthy, happy and better year ahead of us!

Merry Christmas!

This year we celebrated Christmas with lots of good eating and family love. My dad is here with us and celebrated with us for the first time in many many years. It is also Hayley's first Christmas and Ethan's third Christmas. Here are some highlights from the day.

Holiday Baking

I managed to do some holiday baking tonight. I ended up making zucchini bread, oatmeal scotchies and shortbread bites. They all turned out yummie. Check out my holiday goodies wrapping. I still need to learn how to wrap it nicely, but I think this will do. The holiday shortbread bites with the holiday nonpareils turned out pretty cute. Now, on to the rest of the gift wrapping...
