11 Months

Seriously have we really had Haley for 11 months?  This does not seem right.  I'm not just saying this because all parents say, "Where does the time go?!" I'm saying this because it cannot be possible that Haley is 1 month away from 1 year.  I can say I have enjoyed our time with Haley, but I cannot say, I've enjoyed and documented our time with Haley, :(  I know this is common, but I was trying to be "better than that", FAIL!  Anyway, Haley is really something else.  This not a new revelation to us, but everyday she reminds me of how different and "female" she is compared to Braylen.  She gets mad and pulls my hair, she HATES her diaper changes and doing what I want her to do, she likes to smile at me when I tell her No and then just continues to do that, she wants to be around people all of the time, she is clingy.  These may be traits that Jeremy claims are similar to me, but I call BS!  Other than her slight rebellious ways, she is such a funny girl.  She is a cruiser when it comes to crawling, she will actually put her head down and motor if she's trying to get something or somewhere.  She is a bruiser with her brother.  Braylen will maul and crush her only to have her laughing the whole time while we are yelling, "Braylen be gentle!!"  She has started taking a few steps, but would still rather crawl or walk while holding on to things.  She LOVES being outside, even if she's in her baby cage and crawling under the kitchen table or anywhere she can get stuck (see pic below).  She does not mind the daily pony tails she has to endure due to her crazy hair.  Sometime she will wake up and I honestly do not recognize her, her hair is laying down and she looks so different.  This is incredibly uncommon, she usually wakes up looking as if she has placed all of her wet fingers into a three prong outlet for approx 5-10 minutes.  She has begun asking what things are by asking the now cute, ask in 6 months how we feel about this "cute" phrase, "ddatt".  She says, momma, dadda, nana and barks like a dog.  She claps, waves, blows kisses and gives kisses.  She mimics things, she will laugh if we laugh, raise her hands when we do and blink after we do.  I can honestly say she loves us so much and shows it daily.  We also share this feeling, but I think you can multiply my love by a million.  She is such a joy and keeps us all on our toes!  I can only imagine what I will be writing about next year and when she's older!!
