How is it possible?

To love someone so much? We're been trying our best to capture every moment we can with Hailey so today's post will be a collection of some of our favorite pics over the last week.

Hailey's first trip to Oklahoma

Last weekend Amie, Taylor, Hailey and I decided to take a trip to Okc to visit family. Getting Hailey all packed for our trip took longer than I thought and I had to pack a lot more stuff than I thought. Once we got the girls secured in the car we headed off for our 3 hour trip. Taylor was such a big help getting Hailey's pacifier for her, stealing her blanket and at one point even holding her hand. So sweet. Here are a few pictures from our trip. DSC_0322.JPG

Hailey is starting to talk more and more. We're not quite sure what's she's saying but it's the cutest thing ever. She purses her lips and makes a noise that could melt anyone's heart. She really gets going when she gets home from day care. We think she's trying to tell us of all the fun things she did at school. Below you can almost hear the stories she's trying to tell.DSC_0368.JPG


Look at the concentration on her face. Too funny!DSC_0385.JPG


Here is one where she's telling Grandpa about her day.DSC_0452.JPG

Texas State Fair's newest treat!

Forget fried butter, just look at these cheeks! We could charge 10 coupons for a chance to come up and bite these cheeks!DSC_0259.JPG

Smile factory

It's hard for me to think of any words to describe the feeling you get when you daughter looks at you and smiles. DSC_0004.JPG

So much to talk about, so little time

Where do I begin? Life has been so fast and hectic lately that it's hard to find time to sit in front of the computer and write down my thoughts. This will be a longer post than normal since I have so much to cram in.


Since my last post Hailey passed the 2 month mark and I can already tell she is growing up too fast. At her 2 month check up she weighed 10lbs./2oz. and gained a few more inches. It also happened to be the visit where she would receive her first round of shots. Frankie wasn't too worried but I knew it was going to be emotional for me and Hailey. Our nurse was so sweet and reassuring but I was still a little nervous for Hailey.


The calm before the storm. Such a sweet girl.IMG_0997.jpg


Prepping for the shot.IMG_1001.jpgNow this is where even Frankie starts to get a little upset at the site of his little girl crying. I could tell he wanted to pick her up so badly and take her pain away.IMG_1005.jpgMom's there to make her feel all better.IMG_1006.jpg


I only had to work an half-day after the doctor's visit so rather than drive to daycare and drop her off, I decided to let Hailey come with me to work so my co-workers could finally meet her.


She was a big hit with Kobi.DSC_0435.JPG


I think the shots made Hailey a bit sleepy. She fell asleep in Mary's arms.DSC_0439.JPGThe good news that came out of the doctor's visit was that Hailey could now go the whole night without us having to wake her up to feed her. No more 2:00 feedings...yay!


Hailey seems to like it too. And she loves her Miracle Blanket. A must-have for newborns. Thanks again Amie!DSC_0491.JPG


Now Saturday mornings we can sleep in a little. I went to go get her a bottle and when I came back, Frankie already has her watching ESPN.DSC_0478.JPGFrankie had a tee time scheduled so I thought it would be a good chance for me to take Hailey on her first trip to the mall. I think I may be in trouble as it was my goal to find some new work clothes for me but I ended up buying Hailey 12 new outfit for next summer. DSC_0468.JPGHailey just got out of the bath and Frankie thought her head might be a little cold so we got out her cap she wore in the hospital. After she ate she was out like a light.DSC_0520.JPGI know it's hard to tell from the picture but Hailey likes to coo and smile whenever we play together. She melts our hearts every time. People tell Frankie to watch out not to let her wrap him around her finger but I think she already has.IMG_1062.jpg
