March Update

March proved to be a month of repeating almost everything (so far we are safe from the bad words that end up accidently slipping from mommy though) :) I wasn't as good with updating the list of words as she is saying so much so I have decided to only update words that either says on her own or she says frequently.

She has also got quite a good set of manners I must say. She says please "peese" for just about everything and just last week picked up Thank You "Hank hu" in both speaking and sign language. We are now working on excuse me and your welcome but we are not quite there yet. :)

We also made it through an entire month with out getting sick, knock on wood. This proves to be quite a success for us as it was at least every month there for awhile. Vitamins have proved to be our friend.

The month was quite busy but we didn't have any real big events, a few birthday parties, gatherings are our house, swimming twice a week, park visits, and lots of other activities that filled our weekends.

We never really got around to potty training this month as planned but she did learn how to brush her teeth by herself and wash her hands by standing on her footstool at the sink. The potty resorts to a toy for now. We do walk through the steps though when she thinks Mommy needs help or some company :)

Hailey also has taken up her new mission of catch kitties "chi's". She chases them all over the house. Behind the couch, down the hall, into the kitchen, through the end tables... The cats are not fans of their new activity as they would rather just sleep on the couch. Hailey finds them there too, hence the stare down. This soon was followed by a hiss, growl, and paw bat. Hailey handled it well, and now runs around hissing and batting her arm when we ask her what buddy does. LOL

With the weather starting to try to warm up, yes we have had a few nice days, we have spent many days outside and she also gets outside almost everyday at Grandma's. She constantly is asking to put on her coat and go outside "side, side, side" tantrums follow if the answer if not right now or later today from Mommy, Daddy or Grandma. Sometimes the only way to calm her down if we bribe her with a movie, "moo ee". I am VERY excited for the weather to get nicer and more predictable so we can enjoy many more days outside and on little adventures as we call them.

On an exciting note, the Muchin's booked their 2009 vacation and are going on a cruise to Alaska in September for my Mom's birthday. There will be 5 of us and possibly my brother and his girlfriend will make 7 if he does not get into grad school. We are really hoping he gets in so it will be bitter sweet if he comes with us.

Here's to a warm April with no more snow!

Love the Muchin's
