22 months old

Hailey is 22 months old! She wakes up happy most mornings, around 930 and wants to eat yogurt (or 2 yogurts lately). So we sit on the couch and watch Dora while Hailey feeds herself, pretty well most of the time. Then we usually play inside, run errands or go to the park. Then it's lunch time, followed by nap time. Hailey takes about a 2 hour nap, and goes down easily. After nap time, more playtime.

Hailey is still going to the YMCA daycare, where the teachers adore her. She only goes about 4-5 times a month, but she really enjoys herself when she is there.

Here is some of the words Hailey is using now:

Moose
Again
"Are you ok?"
"where did it go?"
"I don't know"
Ashley (cousin)
"inkin" (for Lincoln, her cousin)
"Mamie" (for Aunt Jamie)
Deer
Doggie
Sorry

She can point out most animals in a book correctly when asked, and she also knows the sounds most animals make.

We use the timeout's when needed, they don't happen too often but she really seems to get it. Sometimes if we threaten her with it, she will just go sit in the timeout spot on her own.

Hailey's best friend Abigail is moving to Alaska next month, so that will be hard. She is Hailey's only real friend besides her cousins. She walks around the house saying "Abigail" over and over again :-( Abigail's dad is a Trooper with Jeff, and he got hired by the Alaska State Patrol. We are excited to have a new place to visit, but sad to see our friends go.

We are going on vacation later this month. We will be cruising down to Oregon to visit my friend Jen and her family, and then we are going to camp our way back up the coast. We are hoping for sunny and warm weather!
