1st Haircut

We took Haley to get her first haircut. I found a kids salon and took her there since they were used to dealing with kids. She was so serious when we put her in the chair. They salon had cute "chairs" for the kids to sit in. Haley sat in a firetruck. She wasnt sure about the "cape" that they put on to protect from the hair, but once the lady gave her a sucker and blew some bubble for her, she was fine. She still was very serious while the lady cut her hair. She wasnt quite sure what to think. I think it looks so cute. They cut the curls off the back, but now it is the same length all around and she looks like a toddler.

19 months old

I finally took Haley for her 18 month appointment and she was only 22 lbs 13 oz (23rd percentile), but she was 32.5 inches tall (66th percentile).

A little bit of everything...

Haley got a set of plastic golf clubs, so Uncle Matthew gave her a lesson in the backyard!

We also started to potty train Haley. It didnt go too well and I wasnt patient enough to stick with it. She just didnt get "it". I plan on trying again in the spring when it is warmer outside so she can run around without pants on.

Haley and mommy!!

Haley loves taking pictures

I heard Haley walking around the house saying "cheese", when I found her, she had my little camera up to her face, "taking pictures". She is at such a fun age. She is starting to understand so much of what we say to her. I cant believe she is getting so big. She turned 1 1/2 last week.

Eckhoff Family Reunion - New Years

We went to FL for the week of New Years for a family reunion on A.J.'s side. It was a lot of fun. We stayed our first night with Tony and Dawn and then the next two at a hotel on the beach. Haley had so much fun hanging out with all her cousins and spending time with her grandparents. We took so many pictures and I had a hard time picking which ones to post, so I made a slideshow.

Merry Christmas

We had dinner at Matthew (and Courtney's) house for Christmas Eve. Both families came, and we had a lot of fun meeting Courtney's extended family. Mom and Dad spent the night with us so they could be here Christmas morning. Haley was a bit overwhelmed with all the presents. She only opened a few of them and then was more interested in playing in her playroom, then unwrapping the remainder. I think it took 3 or 4 days before everything was unwrapped. Santa brought Haley a big butterfly tent and she loves to play in it. It even has butterfly wings that came with it that Haley can wear. We loved being able to spend the day with family.

High School Friends

Every Christmas I get together with my high school friends and their husbands. This year everyone came to our house for dinner. There were two girls that couldnt make it, but it was still fun catching up with the ones that were there. Three of them now live out of town, so Christmas time is usually the only time everyone is back in town. I wish everyone didnt live so far away.
