Time to Eat!

Hailey held her bottle all by herself for the first time today! There have been days where she will put her hands up for it, but today she took the bottle from my hands, put it in her mouth and fed herself until she was full! What an exciting day!

Busy, busy....

his past month has been crazy busy for us! Jonathan was gone hunting for two weeks and was successful yet again :) This year he shot a 4 by 4 elk that weighed 400lbs! Hailey and I have just been enjoying our time together and trying to get things done around the house and play outside as much as possible. Usually Hailey and I have play time as soon as she wakes up in the morning and it has become our favorite part of the day! Hailey is definitely a morning baby and is always smiling, laughing and most alert right after a good night's sleep.

Pictures!!

Melanie came over a couple weeks ago and took some amazing pictures of little Miss Hailey! Below are just a couple of them :) Enjoy!

Its that time of the year again....

Well both Jonathan and I love this time of the year! Although it's a little sad to see the summer go, this is the time of year where the leaves start to change color, the air becomes crisp, we snuggle up by the fire at night and we get to spend a lot of time with our friends and families! Aside from all of these great things, we usually do quite a bit of fishing, Jonathan finally gets his hunting fix and I have the opportunity this year to have a lot of one-on-one time with miss Hailey.

There hasn't been a whole lot going on lately. Jonathan has been working a lot and just left yesterday to go hunting. I've been able to talk to him a couple times, and unfortunately he hasn't seen any elk yet.... hopefully he'll have better luck in the upcoming days. Melanie came over yesterday as well and took some pictures of Hailey and a few family photos too! When I get copies from her I will definitely post some of them. As for me, I've just been working, cleaning, and playing with Hailey!

Miss Hailey was 12 weeks (3 months) yesterday, and has been cooing and smiling so much lately! She loves it when people sing to her, she loves to be outside and often tries to mimic our expressions and words that we say to her. Right now her favorite word to mimic is "Hello"... I can pretty much get her to make some sort of cooing noise every time I say hello to her :) We're guessing she weighs about 11-12 pounds, is finally out of her newborn diapers and is fitting into her 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes! We cherish every moment we get to spend with her and can't imagine a day without her.

Our Anniversary!

These pictures are a little late, but Jonathan and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary at a cabin that we won in an auction this spring. The cabin is beautiful and sits on the Nisqually River. We had a campfire, fished, watched a couple movies and just enjoyed our time together as a family!

Hailey's First Boat Ride :)

Today Jonathan and I took Hailey out on the boat for the very first time! It was a beautiful day and we had a blast!

Miss Hailey at 2mo.

Hailey had her 2mo. appointment yesterday and now weighs 9lbs. 7oz. is 21 1/4 inches long and her head circumference is 35.9cm. After looking up her information online, I discovered that she is pretty small for her age :) She's in the 10th percentile for weight, the 4th for height and less than 3rd for her head circumference! I think she got stuck with my peanut size head! Anyway, her appointment went well with a clean bill of health and 4 vaccines (it was so hard to watch her get her shots). Below are some pictures that Melanie took for us! She does such a great job and I'm glad we have the opportunity to share them with everybody :)

Some of the pictures are from the Tinsley's annual Elk Hunting BBQ where all the guys get together and talk about the upcoming season while the ladies get to enjoy each other's company and eat lots of great food!! Stacie and I had a great time getting the girls (Hailey and Kaylee) more acquainted with each other. It's so much fun watching them interact even though the most they really do right now is stare at one another :)
