Time flies when you're having fun

I wish I could say we have been travelling the world experiencing new adventures but we all know that's next to impossible with a little one in diapers. Basically we've been lazy over the past few months but that didn't stop us from documenting everything in pictures. I shouldn't say lazy as Frankie with the help of Grandpa have installed brand new floors, renovated our kitchen with new granite countertops and backsplash and Frankie finally got the home office makeover he's been waiting for. Enought about us though. Let's get down to why you stopped by our little page on the internet.

In short, we had our first trip to the emgergency room Christmas Eve that night it decided to snow. Incidentally everything checked out fine.

We've gone through 4 ear infections and we think (keep your fingers crossed) that we've made it over the hump. You would never know Hailey was sick by her demeanor. Always a smile on her face ready to give the best hugs and kisses.

No teeth to report as of yet but the doctor says its all dependant on when mommy and daddy got theirs. She chews on everything she can get her mouth on so they have to be right around the corner.

Remember when you could sit your little one on the floor and knew they would stay in the same place you left them? Well we have officially crossed the point of no return. We're not quite sure if it's an official "crawl" but this little girl can get around. She's getting on her hands and knees and lunging forward and trying her darndest to pull herself up to stand. She combines a roll over with a back scoot and can get to just about anything she wants her hands on.

Hailey loves her fruits and vegetables and is getting the hang of her sippy cup. It's still a messy process come feeding time but the dogs love help cleaning up what falls on the floor. They're especially fond of her Puffs.

Now that we have a fully functioning office with new computers, we'll do our best to keep her site updated. Until next time, here are some of our favorite pictures.

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Our sweet little Valentine. Hailey loves her Bernice.

Rubber ducky time! Just like her momma, she hates peas.She loves her fruit though!Getting ready for Gramma and Grandpa Dave to come to town.Helping momma fold some clothes.Spring fair time at Hailey's daycare. She was so excited to us and her cousin Taylor.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Just because

While Frankie and his dad work on the house, I thought Hailey and I could get a little shopping done. I put her down in her car seat and turn my head and the little munchkin is crawling out of the seat! I can't turn my head for one second with this little girl.



Mmmm. Cereal yummy.

Yay Christmas time!

It's cold outside. Momma says I have to wear my hat.

Are you kidding me? Did you feel how cold it was outside?

Hailey came home from school one day and shed her clothes and plopped herself down to enjoy one of her books.



More books! They're fun to read and they also taste yummy!



I just has to post a pic of Fozzie. He's so protective of his little sister. He sleeps by her window every night and doesn't even mind when she pulls his hair.

We love you too Vince.

The girlies are in town! Hans and Kelly too!

The girlies, Hans an his fiancee, Kelly came to town for the holidays this past week. We had lunch at Lisa's house. Here are a few pics of the fun we had.

The girlies were so helpful when Frankie and I grabbed a bite to eat. Hailey loves the sweater and jeans Aunt Lisa bought her.



The newlyweds to be.



Look out Hans. She looks like a natural.



I think Hailey is trying to get Gramma to tell her what she's getting for Christmas.

Thanksgiving time! Better late than never

Where do we begin?  I wish we had a good reason as to why we haven't updated in over a month but we can't think of one. With the renovations to the house and work being so hectic, any free moment we have is spent playing with Hailey. By the time she goes to bed, Frankie and I make a quick dinner and then its lights out around 9:00pm. I promise to do a much better job of updating the blog so friends and family can keep up with our little Hailey Paige Ramirez.

Let's see. Ah yes. Thanksgiving. Wasn't that like a month ago? We did manage to take pics since our last post so all isn't lost.

We took our customary trip up to OKC to see Grandma and Pupup (Hailey's great grandparents) and the rest of the family. But first we stopped by to see Hailey's Papa and Grandma in Edmond and hooked up with Hailey's cousin Taylor and family.







Off to Grandmother's house we go. Everyone was excited to see the girls. Frankie was excited to see the food.

Hailey and her great grandparents.



Here's Aunt Jennifer and Gray.

Oh, and Frankie's favorite. Grandma set aside a turkey leg just for Frankie.



Too much tryptophan for Hailey. She passed out in the first quarter of the Cowboy's game.

Cutest pictures ever

Hailey had some pictures taken at Blue Door Studios and Regina, one of the ladies who owns the studio, had these picture on her blog. Here is a sneak peek of her shoot.

Way overdue update

I can't believe what a slacker I have become with blog updates. Imagine living with a 37 yr old kid and 4 month old and you might understand. I don't know how else to start so here we go.

We had a great time Halloween weekend as we spent it at the Bowling house and Grandma Schumann came to visit her girls. Grandma said she couldn't stand it any longer and had to come for a visit. Not only did she come for a visit she brought presents! Now get this, these were Halloween and Thanksgiving presents because she said she already had too much Christmas stuff for the girls. Oh my, these girls are spoiled. They got matching coats and boots along with dresses. Grandma also bought Hailey her Christmas dress and it is so pretty we can't wait for Hailey to wear it! And of course, Hailey and Taylor both dressed up in their costumes for everyone. They are quite the pair.J

We have also gone through a big change at daycare. Hailey has graduated folks! Yes, she has graduated from the Infant A room to the Infant B room. She even received a diploma. We are so proud. We have to admit we were a little sad. We love her infant A room teachers, Miss Betty and Miss Misty so we were sad she was moving classrooms so quickly. The good thing is these rooms are separated by a ½ wall so Miss Betty and Miss Misty can come see her anytime they want. I think Miss Betty knew I was sad because she told me not to worry because she never lets her babies go. So far everyday when we get there Miss Betty comes over to see Hailey. Miss Irene and Miss Maria are her new teachers and we love them too. When I was walking out the door the other day I heard Miss Irene say "Miss Betty" never shares Hailey. J Miss Irene calls Hailey "little mama" and her "little Princess" which we don't normally like the princess stuff but coming from her teacher it's pretty sweet. And Miss Maria always comments on Hailey's outfits. That being said all is good at daycare.

Hailey had her 4 month doctor appt a few weeks ago and she right on track and doing great. We can now feed her cereal and boy was that fun! Last night when we were feeding her she kept trying to hold the spoon so gave her a spoon of her own to hold. And if I didn't get the next spoonful to her mouth fast enough she would start fussing. We took pictures of course.

On Saturday Hailey and I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. Hailey had a blast, so much so that she fell asleep, but has soon as we got home the dogs were so excited to see her their barking woke her up.

And just because.

Last but not least we had some professional pictures taken of Hailey. They were suppose to be 3 month but are more like 3.5 month. You can view them at the link below, enjoy
