My little girl is becoming a big girl, seems like yesterday she was just born. She will be 22 months old this week and the time went by so fast. Hailey is enjoying spring, she loves going outside. She especially loves the park out back and whenever we drive by a park she wants to stop and play. We now have to spell PARK when talking about it because if we say it and can not go then she throws a fit.

Potty Time!!!

Potty Training is under way!!!!!! Hailey peed a few more time in the toilet yesterday! YEAH! She is so cute, she gets this big grin when she goes and can hear it in the toilet. She also seems to like her potty book when she is sitting there. She ran around the house yesterday with a bare bottom and loved it, although she had a few accidents I think she is learning.

Well as I thought, I would not be good at this blogging thing. I haven't written in a few months. Hailey is still getting larger and smarter everyday. Hailey went to her first Red Wings game on March 30th with both Jeff & I. She had a lot of fun watching the hockey game and especially the people sitting around us. We had to leave a bit early, she just did not like being stuck in a seat and not being able to run around. Let's just say it will be a little while before her next game. She had a great Easter this year and loved the chocolate the most! We have decided to start potty training and yesterday she peed in the toilet for the first time. I never thought something like this would bring me to tears, but it did. She was so excited and we even have a potty sticker chart on the wall. So far so good!

She is also learning so many new words everyday and has started to speak some sentences. It's crazy how someone her age can understand and speak so much. It definitely makes it so much easier when she wants something or getting her to help me do something. Yeah, I'm starting to have a little helper!

The Leaf Family

Hello Everyone! I have never wrote a blog before so here is our attempt to keep everyone posted on the crazy of our everyday life. Our little girl, Hailey is almost 18 months old. Time really goes by too fast. Keeping up with her unbelievable energy is quite a challenge for me but well worth it. She is walking, running and practically sprinting to whatever she can get her hands on. I never thought it was a good idea to get a leash for a child but now I understand and think it's a brilliant idea. Jeff is back to studying for the last of three levels for his CFA designation. His exam is in June and we can't wait to have our favorite guy back! I am also currently still in school working toward a Bachelor in Health Science Adminstration and just waiting to see if I can get into a nursing program at either Macomb Community College or Schoolcraft College. I have also decided to return to part-time work as a traveling dental assistant with a company that provides dental services to nursing homes. I am excited for the new opportunity and look forward to whatever the next year will bring me.

We had a wonderful 2nd Family Christmas this past year. Hailey was so excited to open gifts and is loving playing with them every day. She got a awesome trampoline from her Uncle Kermit & Karry and loves to go in it and jump around. She even got to visit with two Santas this year. Hailey visited her first Santa at Twelve Oaks Mall with her buddy Mack and then got a gift from Santa again at the annual Hart Christmas party. She seems to be okay with Santa so far she doesn't scream but she also clings to mommy and daddy before going to Santa. We spent New Years at the Hart house this year and Hailey enjoyed playing with her buddies Mack, Alex and Luke. She did not have an easy time sleeping that night and happened to wake at 11:45pm so she was able to cheer in the New Year with the grown ups and mommy & daddy got a big hug & kiss from our precious girl.
