Doodoodoodoodoo Dora

Stephie and Haley have really been enjoying playing with Dora's house (in their matching kitty-cat jammies, of course).Sometimes, the girls even play together. Stephie likes to make up little stories about the characters. Haley just likes to chew on Dora's Papi's head.
All that playtime sure is exhausting. Time for a milk break...
...followed by breakfast. Yum!

Pebbles & BamBam

Guess who's who? Hint: one has a ponytail and one acts like a caveman. Hmmmm....

1 and 3 year pictures

We bought waaaaayyy too many pictures this time around!

Happy birthday Haley!!!

Happy birthday Haley!!! We had a great party at Grandma Julie and Papa's house. Haley, you are the sweetest one-year-old, and we love you so much.Stephie loved her sausage pizza. OK, just the sausage.
Haley liked her meal too...
...as did the rest of the family.
Baby Carter came to play too...
...just in time for cake. Haley had a Cookie Monster cake, because she told Stephie that's what she wanted, you know.
Yum...
YUM!!!
Then it was time for a few presents. Haley got sparkly light-up shoes, just like Stephie.
She also got a rubber duckie from Stephie...
...and a growth chart (a flamingo!) from Julie and Papa......and her very own first stock (DreamWorks) from Mimi and Poppie. It was a great day!

Haley at One

Haley Moore

Is my name.

Acting like a big kid

Is my game.

Play with girls

Or play with boys

Play with Stephie’s big-girl toys.

Baby toys are not for me

I may be one, but I think I’m three!

At my jokes

I laugh out loud.

My sense of humor makes me proud.

Daddy horsey rides

Make me giggle.

Change my pants and watch me wiggle.

It’s very funny to get undressed

But dropping my sippy cup is the best.

Big girl now,

Standing on my feet!

I’m a little wild but I’m so sweet!

In my walker.

Fly from room to room.

Back up fast then away I zoom.

Run really fast then lift my feet,

Bump into things, which is really neat.

I am happy

As can be

Crying is just not for me.

Smile all the time,

Hardly ever frown.

Coordinated baby, I don’t fall down.

I have control. I’m steady on my feet.

I let myself down back on my seat.

Things I see

Get a little taste.

Not to try them seems a waste.

Into the mouth

All things worth a try,

Rules about what’s edible do not apply.

Feed myself the foods I eat

Vegetables and fruits, but very little meat.

Mommy comes home

I crawl so fast,

Happy to see her home at last.

So excited

I kick my feet.

Daddy comes home, my day’s complete.

I have learned to wave bye-bye

I give hugs so sweet they will make you cry.

I will play

While in my bed,

Just don’t make me rest my head.

Training Mommy

To not sleep.

Come feed me or I start to weep.

I’m turning one, but try as I might

I just can’t seem to sleep though the night.

Nothing too far,

For my gadget arm,

Mommy and Daddy keep me from harm.

Try to grab

Everything I see.

Things beyond my reach, no challenge for me.

Rambo’s, my nickname. The fun has just begun

Now that I am turning one.

Spring break

School's out! A great time to go for a drive......or perhaps a boat ride...
...hang out at the playground...
...or strike a pose...
...and of course have lunch with friends!
