18 months

So I am about a week late (I was waiting for nice weather to take some pictures but that still hasn't happened...boo for snow in April) but this little girl is 18 months old. I have moments lately when I look at her and wonder where my baby went. She is very much a toddler now. 

here are a few things about Hailey at 18 months:
- she has so much energy! She goes all day long.... I am completely jealous. 
- talking up a storm! Her doctor said her vocabulary is that of a 2 year old (she does have 2 chatty parents) 
- can count to 5 by herself (sometimes 10 but she usually skips a few numbers
- runs more than she walks and is constantly climbing on things 
- loves saying prayers. She will often fold her arms and ask me to pray throughout the day (so sweet)
- insists on reading her books herself 
- is obsessed with Elmo (does he drive any of you other Moms nuts like me?
- loves being outside, we can't wait for warmer weather
- favorite animals are turtles, hippos and dogs (or as she calls them "gog-gogs"
- won't get it the tub anymore...we had issues with her pooping in the tub so now she is scared
- loves brushing her teeth and hair (does not love mommy doing it though)
- says "hold you" when she wants to be held
- loves doing puzzles

stats: 
height: 33.98 in (97%)
weight: 29.06 lbs (95%) 
head: 19.1 in. (93%)
very proportionate :)  

Taking pictures of Hailey right now is quite the challenge but I think we got some cute ones (glad Daddy had the day off to come help

We love you Hailey girl! We feel so blessed to have you in our lives!!!

She is such a doll...I can't believe how light her hair is!! Isn't it crazy when you realize your baby isn't a baby anymore?!

She's a cutie Natalie~ and very smart too!!!! Tallie only says a few words, but like your girl, goes non stop - especially climbing! However, the climbing thing drives me a little nuts! I am excited to hear what your next one will be!

SO cute, Nats! Did you take 2 outfits and change her hair and clothes at the Capitol? These pictures are amazing! Mom and Dad told me this weekend a lot about Hailey... How she's so smart and sweet and easygoing. I miss her (and her Mom and Dad:) terribly! Glad to hear you're all doing well!!!
