9 month stats, etc.(& a REALLY funny video).

hayes went in for her 9 month appointment this morning.  she received one shot - didn't shed a tear.   i know a baby who was super dramatic about vaccinations (WHO could that baby be??...ha, my girls are as different as night and day.)

she was deemed "healthy, growing great, meeting milestones, and VERY active!"  we are to go ahead and completely baby proof our house - the dr. compared hayes to her boys.  which, my mom had already made the comment to me a while back, "well, there is your boy."  she is a maniac & is in constant motion.  and we just love her to complete pieces!

the only time she was still. when trey saw this pic he said, "i mean seriously, she's the cutest baby in the world.  did the dr. say that?  did she tell you that she was the cutest baby she'd ever seen....cause she is!"  and the thing about it is that he's serious.  yes, trey, that's what the dr. cares about at these milestone appointments, "your baby is meeting the cuteness criteria set for this age group."  dads.

hayes is 18 pounds, 4 ounces - 60th percentile
i can't find her stat sheet - she may have eaten it, i did see it in her mouth at some point today.  but her height was in the 30th Percentile - think it was 27.5".  and i have no idea what her head circumference was.  i'm sure i'll find that sheet at some point, but i don't have time to worry about it right now.  oh, and she has 2 teeth now.  the 2 bottom teeth.  sk had 6 teeth at 9 months!

she's just doing great!  and she loves her paci.  and when i thank God for things in my life, i thank Him for hayes' paci so....

h and sk's yaya and dougie were in town this past weekend.

we had a really nice visit and the girls enjoyed having them here of course!
dougie and trey went to lowes on saturday and got some sand for sk's sand box that yaya/dougie had given her for christmas.  she enjoyed playing in it today after school.

this pic was before i put sunscreen on her and she buried herself in the sandbox before i could get the sunscreen rubbed in.  nice.

and i did the cooper river bridge run (10k) on saturday with amy.  but just like LAST TIME, we were walkers (and talkers).  it was a beautiful day for a walk across the bridge with 40,000+ other people!

spring is here!!!!  we are so excited!  maybe we can stay well for a while and it sure has been nice to leave our heavy jackets, gloves and winter hats behind.  we've brought out our sunglasses, sun hats, sunscreen, flip flops, and springy dresses.

hayes LOVES to swing.  and the baby can just about swing herself when she gets in her active mode in there.  

we have fresh pinestraw, new full ferns, azaleas, and our grass is beginning to resemble the color green!  spring in the low country - just gorgeous=)  our house looks so happy to me in the spring.  it can look so drab and sad in the winter.  i'm always wanting to do this or that to our house, but i should just feel content because i'm really grateful for it!  (the little cuteness playing in the front yard helps liven it for sure).....

as usual, our azaleas are uneven and they bloom at different times.  i think it has a little to do with our lack of green-thumbs and alot to do with the positioning of our house in relation to the sunlight.

so, here is me and my little attachment.

she loves her daddy, too!  in fact, when we picked her up from the nursery on sunday she cried in my arms and held out her arms for her dad.  think it made his whole entire day!!  you know, he thinks his girls completely hung the moon in the sky.

sk does not like to take off her cardigan.  it's one of her little quirks...if she puts it on, it stays on.

our sad attempt at a family photo....this is the best we could do.

and finally, the funny video!  hayes got tickled about a toy tonight and was laughing hysterically which was funny.  also funny was sk's blatant jealousy of the attention h was getting.  love those girls!
