Monkey Business, Part II

Yes it is true, the monkey business continues. Hailey got an adorable, functional, and thank goodness, sturdy bookshelf for Christmas. She put it to good use. (I'm having trouble uploading photos right now. I'll try to get them up soon. The point was that she figured out how to climb up the bookshelf within minutes of unwrapping it. I have video proof too.)

But that is not all. With the New Year came some great new accomplishments for Hailey.
1. She started walking. Ok, well she started walking right after Christmas. The 29th to be exact. But it is continually being perfected and is a milestone worth noting.

Yesterday was a BIG day for my little one. To continue the list, because:

2. She got her first hair trim. Those shaggy bangs were always in her eyes. AND

3. The monkey crawled OUT OF HER CRIB. I put her to bed, but apparently she was not ready. She was crying from the moment I left the room. All of a sudden, the crying sounded much closer to the door. Sure enough, she made it out. I dont know if she crawled onto the rocking chair by her bed; if she swung her leg over and shimmied down; or if she wend head-over- tea kettle. I thought this was something that we had to prepare for closer to 18 months. Should of known better with the monkey genes that run through her blood. Needless to say, our project tonight is to lower her bed down to the last notch. Yay (with sarcasm).
