The Donahue Family: August 2008

Talking to the Toys

Hailey has started to interact more with her toys and likes to "talk" to them. I was able to get a few good videos of her talking and giggling. You may want to turn down your volume a little because some of her screams are a little ear piercing! Enjoy!

Lamb Chop is a puppet that Hailey has. I was trying my best to be a puppeteer and videotape her at the same time.

This is Hailey with her baby. I think that I have a little work to do with Hailey and her "baby handling" before the next one arrives! Yes, the video is ended abruptly because of a little spit-up. Gross I know, but part of our life. Although, I do have to say that the spitting-up is getting less and less each day, but not quite to the point that we can get rid of the bibs.

Playing with Lamb Chop again. This is a good giggle video! I have to say that the sound of a baby giggling has always been one of my favorite sounds.

Hands and Knees...

This afternoon I went to get Hailey from her crib and she was up on her hands and knees! I brought her downstairs and caught it on video.

Videos

I don't mean to over load on the videos, there are a few that follow. I know that the Grandparents will enjoy them. All of these videos I took of Hailey just after she got up and ate. I think that it was about 7:30 and she was ready to start the day! I am getting just a glimpse of the busy body she is becoming.

Hailey likes to hide underneath the ottoman to the chair. It is so funny to watch her get under there and play. A lot of the time she gets her whole body under there, but this video she just has her head under it. I see many days of playing in forts ahead!

It never fails that as soon as I get the video camera out she stops babbling. I was able to catch a little of her babble this time!

Hailey really wants to crawl but isn't quite strong enough yet, although she is getting stronger each day and I am sure it won't be long. This is her "swimming on the wood floors".

She was on a "roll" and thought that some may like to take an adventure with her!

Happy 7 Month Birthday!

It is so hard to believe that it has already been 7 months. It seems just like yesterday that Hailey arrived. It has been so amazing to watch her grow and develop into her own little person. I now understand why everyone says to enjoy it now, because the time flies by!
