Hailey's pierced ears

Today Hailey wanted her ears pierced. I have asked for a year off and on if she wanted them pierced. To be honest I was more afraid for her then she was of getting them done. I was honest with her and told her it will hurt. We also watched an episode of John and Kate plus 8 where the one little girl gets her ears pierced and cries afterwards. Hailey was such a big girl that not even a tear came out of her or a sound. She just jumped and looked at me when they first did it but was fine. I was holding her hands but to be honest I was squeezing her hand more then she was mine. I"m so proud of my Hailey Bugs.

Another milestone in our children's life. Braden is starting to stand in the middle of the living room and then falls down and claps for himself. It is so cute. Now we just need to get him to WALK!

Hailey's first Hair cut

Hailey got her hair cut not to long ago. I didn't think i'd be so sad but I was when it was all done. I think it was because she has been asking for it and it just seems like a big girl decision. At first I thought maybe she figured out a way to not have her hair done in ponytails anymore. She really does hate having her hair brushed.
She still doesn't like it brushed but with it shorter it doesn't last as long.
Here is a picture of Hailey before and after her big girl haircut!
