3 New things: apple juice, carrots, & sitting up in the bath-tub (while holding on)

Grandparents - don't get too excited...she isn't really sitting up yet...just when she's holding on to something...

Getting big!

Here's Haylee in her big girl sweater that looks like a girl instead of a baby to me. Isn't it cute, though? Looking at this picture, it doesn't look like she got my long legs...maybe she got Tommy's legs...ha! Maybe it's just the long sweater...

In her swing...

Okay, so a friend of mine told me to pick a stuffed animal and take pictures of her with the animal next to her every month or so to see her growth...and I've been really good at that. So I decided to look back at some of them and see how much she's grown...holy cow! She was so little!!! See below...

2 weeks old...SKINNY LEGS!

3 months old...getting personality!

And 5 months old (last weekend)...getting big!

All smiles

This week

Here are some pictures from this past week.

Here's one of Haylee's many Houston Astros outfits...Tommy is oh-so-proud.

"Uncle" Justin brought over some sunglasses for Haylee...aren't they cute?

Trying to stay warm...

She's got a TUTU!

My Aunt Jenny bought Haylee a little onesie with a tutu on it a while ago (before she was born...) and it fits her now!! So we had to get some pictures taken! Enjoy...

Eating Cereal w/ a spoon

Here are pictures of Haylee eating from a spoon for the first time. We started this last week and she's gotten MUCH better since then...but they are pretty funny.

Random pictures

Check out these chubby legs!


This is Haylee "riding" her new cow pillow that she got for Christmas.

Off to Florida we go...

Haylee and I went to Florida for a few days after Christmas...(and yes, I'm crazy -- I flew by myself w/ a 4 month old!) A lot of my extended family hadn't met Haylee until this trip. So it was a really neat trip! I think Haylee met more new faces in 4 days than the past 4 months combined!!! HAHA.

I took almost 150 pictures while in Florida....so it was hard deciding on which ones to post...here are some of my favorites!! :) Enjoy...

Here is Nana greeting Haylee at the airport!

As exhausting as the trip was...we had a great time! I think Haylee and I are both finally caught up on sleep...boy have we both slept this week!! WHEW! We've had to WAKE Haylee up from naps so she can eat!! :)
