I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!

Santa came to see Haley!




She looks a lot like some of my baby pictures of Christmas morning! Not quite awake yet! George was up before her, I think he was ready to see what Santa brought!


Baking cookies for Santa!

We set the cookies and milk out and Haley wrote him a note.

Today's snow December 29, 2009

Christmas Eve Snow! Haley didn't know what to think!

Catching snow in her mouth!

What a wonderful white Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Haley opened her presents from mommy and daddy.

Brrrrr...

We had a great Christmas and got to spend lots of time with family and friends, but the most special part was our "new" family this Christmas with the new addition of Haley this year! George, Haley and I enjoyed our time together opening presents as a family and having Santa come to our house. We can't wait to carry on our new tradition, year after year! She has blessed us so much this year and we can't wait to see what 2010 brings. I'm not gonna lie, 2009 has had many ups and downs, so 2010 has got to bring lots of joy, blessings, and peace to our family! Signing off for 2009! Will write again next year!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

10 Steps

Haley took 10 steps today! She was 10 months old on the 10th of this month and today she took 10 steps! I can't wait to watch her walk into the living room Christmas morning to see what Santa brought her! Such a big girl!

Dear Santa

Thanksgiving x 3

Wedding Weekend/Mavs Game

We have had a busy past week and can't wait to relax this coming week with Thanksgiving finally here! Last week Haley had an ear infection, so that was no fun. That is her 3rd one since she was born. Mom and I went to our annual Mavs game together. It was fun to see the Spurs play this year and for the Mavs to take on a win in OT. Thanks MOM!

One of my best friends from HS, Melve, got married this weekend. We had a great time eating (Texas Land and Cattle Friday and Buffet at the wedding) and being apart of her special day. Haley stayed with Nonnie Friday night and with Aunt Lisa on Saturday. She did so good both nights, and loves to be around people. Thanks Aunt Lisa and Uncle Mike for letting her stay the night!

9 Month Stats

FYI: The picture above is from 70's day at my school! I don't normally wear that... :) I love my job!


Just for the record:

Ht: 27 inches
Weight: 17lbs 7 oz

25%ile for weight
50%ile for height

Haley is pretty much average and a healthy growing little girl!

What is Haley doing at 9 months?

-Walking with the little baby walker everywhere
-Letting go of the walker and stands alone until she realizes what she is doing, then she sits
-Has bottom teeth
-Says "dadadadadad" and "ahhhh" in a high pitched voice
-She is eating nibbles off of mommy and daddy's plates, and loves to eat
-Sleeping from 7:45pm to 7:15am
-Loves her friends at church and at Ginger's -she just laughs when they hug her and play with her
-Smiles SO big in the morning when we come get her out of bed. She jumps up and down when she sees us.
-Crawls around in the bath tub, and up the side of the tub
-Can do "This Little Light of Mine" with her finger, and still loves going to Bible Class Sundays and Wednesdays

Funny story... the other day when I went to pick up Haley from Ginger's, she said Haley got in trouble today. She started playing in the toliet with her hands and unrolled all of the toliet paper roll onto the floor. She said she wasn't out of her site for more than 5 seconds and she crawled into the bathroom and started playing. When I got there, she had been sanitized and had her clothes changed. She is a quick little stinker, and it won't be much longer and she will be running everywhere!

Happy 9 months Haley Clarke! Got to get busy on my Minnie Mouse cake!
