Study Buddy... (and 11 months down!)

This beautiful girl just turned 11 months old! I still can't believe it- it's flown by! She is now entering toddlerhood and stands for seconds on her own- she's nearing walking- although I'm ok wiht her just crawling for now- because even then she's too fast for me...



Hailyn LOVES anything we are eating (and has for a while). She espeicially loves her cheese puffs and her cereal puffs. She continues to love Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper (yes, I know! she has little sips from a straw at Fuddruckers!) twinkies (she had them at Aunt Jen's and LOVED them!) french fries and lots of other unhealthy things! She feeds herself and has for a while, and she talks- a LOT! Basically the only differences are that she is nearing walking and that she LOVES seeing my preschool kiddos here and there- just the presence of other children brings her such delight!She is still the wasiest, smiliest baby and we just LOVE her!

Ryan has been super SUPER busy studying lately and Hailyn thought he needed a study partner...


Come on dad! let me help you study!

Ha ha! My plan worked! snuggle time!


These pics are to document that 1. Ryan is still alive and 2. that Hailyn is SUCH a daddy's girl!
I just LOVE these two...
