Helping daddy
During a hot day last week, Hailey was playing in her pool. Jeff decided to wash his patrol car, so of course Hailey wanted to help out too. It was really cute because Hailey was naked. After a couple minutes though, we thought the neighbors might think it was strange, so we put her in her swimsuit so she could still help daddy. She was a great little helper, as always!
Randoms
I am way behind on blogging! We have been doing so many fun things this month, way too many to constantly be updating the blog. I am beginning to think that we take way too many pictures! Here are just some random pictures from the past couple weeks.

Big Rock Garden
Last week, we walked to the Big Rock Garden in Bellingham which is a beautiful garden full of different sculptures. The walk to the garden is a nice gravel trail through the woods, which Hailey loved running around on and playing peek a boo behind different trees and bushes. Hailey enjoyed hugging all the sculptures, which probably wasn't allowed, but it was cute.
After visiting the garden, we headed to Silver Beach Elementary so Hailey could play on the playground. Hailey's favorite thing: the bars of course! We definitely have a little gymnast on our hands!

Gymnastics!
Hailey had her second gymnastics class on Tuesday and things went much smoother this time because Hailey had a much better teacher, and she felt more comfortable. For the first session, Jeff ended up tagging along with the class because Hailey was really shy, but for this session, she joined the 2 other kids in her class and did great participating and following directions. She is the youngest in the group (it's a 2-3 year old class), but we think she did great.
The class starts off with stretching, and then they move to an obstacle course with different stations that include somersaults, walking across a balance beam that is on the floor, jumping over mats, hanging from a bar and going around the bar. Her favorite thing to do is hang on the bars and lift her feet off the ground, she also enjoys doing somersaults. After the obstacle course, the class heads down to the gym area to jump into the foam pit, which would be my favorite part! Hailey did great jumping in to the pit with some help, and once in the pit, she crawls her way out and lines up to go again. They also get to do jumping exercises, where they get to jump down this long trampoline that is set in to the floor. It looks like a lot of fun! At the end of class, all the kids get stamps on their hands and feet which they love!
We have 2 more classes left in this session, and I think I will sign her up again when it's over. Which means I get to buy her a leotard! She really likes going to class, and I love watching her learn something new while having fun!

2 year appt.
Hailey had her 2 year check up on Monday and it went great. Hailey weighs 24 lbs 1 oz (18%) and she is 34 inches tall (52%). The nurse that usually gives Hailey shots sent another nurse in to do her dirty work because she said Hailey was too cute and happy to poke. She got 1 shot and only cried for a minute, she was quickly distracted by the sparkly band aid she got. I was happy to find out that she won't need more shots until her 4 year visit!
Hailey really loved the doctor, and kept asking where the "octer" was while we were waiting to be seen. Once Dr. Gass came in, Hailey played with the puppy dog on his stethoscope, she got to "blow out" the light on his ear checking instrument, and she got to sit on his lap and zoom around the room on the stool...and she would say "again" whenever he stopped.
She is growing like a weed...kinda wish we could stick her in a bubble and keep her little...

Sailing
On Tuesday, the Maupin's invited us to go sailing with them in Bellingham Bay. Of course we jumped at the chance to enjoy time out on the water with good friends! Bart was our captain and Jamie was our on board entertainment for Hailey.
I think being on the boat really relaxed Hailey and we thought she was going to fall asleep, but she got her second wind, and decided she wanted to explore the cabin and color a picture instead. Thanks Jamie for keeping her entertained!
