I'm going to link up with Tara over at Fabulous But Evil for her Friday Nail Files link-up. I actually got these done last Friday night, but was way too busy that evening to blog about it or link-up. I was at Myth Nightclub seeing DJ Pauly D. Ha!
I've been wanting to get my nails done for so long, but was putting it off. This picture is from last Saturday morning. I love gel nails/nail polish because it makes your nails look so good and lasts so long. Even now a week later, they still look good.
These are fake, gel nails. I get them done at my fave salon. I also get them shorter than most because I type a lot.
The color is Red Baroness from CND Shellac. At first I thought it might be too dark, but it's actually perfect. I usually like reds and pinks, but I might try something different next time. We'll see if I chicken out.
I'm hoping not to have to get a fill or new polish for another 2 weeks. That would be a total of 3 weeks and I'm not sure if it last, but we'll see!
You love all fruits and veggies and have now tried and love yogurt. In the last couple weeks, we have given you bits and pieces of different things to try as we are eating, such as banana bread, rice krispies, shredded cheese and spaghetti.
You have really started to pay attention to what Mommy and Daddy are eating.
You still eat a fruit combo in the morning (with Oatmeal) and a vegetable/protein combo at night (with Rice cereal).
You are now eating about 6 oz of milk for daytime feedings and before bed. I think you are going through another growth spurt as you have been downing so much milk lately.
You sometimes don't like to take naps. It just varies on the day. One day I had to finish getting ready because we needed to be somewhere. Mommy improvised and you did so good.
You are still going to bed by about 9pm and sleeping until about 8am...on average.There have been a few nights lately where you stay up late and then like to sleep in. You are your Mother's daughter.
You love to pull on the dogs collars. That is your newest thing. If they are close enough to you, you get it. Sometimes they are nervous around you and sometimes they aren't.
You have gotten so vocal and are talking and screaming all the time.
You still put everything in your mouth.
You are still drooling, but I feel not as much. It may be just because I am so used to it. Who knows.
You still go through about 3-4 bibs a day.
You still love your jumperoo, jumper and your walker, but lately prefer just playing on the floor.
You can sit up by yourself without Mommy or Daddy having to worry that you might tip over.
You are always moving and don't sit still anymore.
You are getting into the crawl position and are constantly moving from sitting, to crawl position to tummy, to back, back to tummy and spinning around all at the same time.
You don't stay on your tummy for long, now that you can roll over from tummy to back and vice versa.
You do get up on all 4's once in awhile and rock back and forth.
You are also pulling yourself up on things.
You love music and have started "dancing."
You have really started showing us your personality and react to us taking things away from you or saying No.
You still have deep, gray eyes.
Your hair is still growing and Mommy is actually thinking about cutting your bangs again.
You are growing right on track, but are still our peanut.
You are wearing a few 6 month clothing, but are mostly in all 6 month or 6-9 month clothing and pajamas.
Your giggle is the best thing in this entire world.
You are wearing size three diapers.
You open your mouth when we kiss you like you are trying to kiss back.
You have two teeth now that are definitely visible.
You love to make funny faces.
You still don't care for your nuk at all. I can't even remember the last time you had it.
You still love when we hold your hands and you stand up. You are so proud.
You sit like a big girl in high chairs at restaurants.
You still LOVE bath time and like to kick your feet and splash. You are still in the infant tub, but we will probably try it without soon. Mommy still gets nervous, so we will see.
You had your first cold last week, but we got through it and you were a champ!
You are so alert and people comment on it frequently.
You are so very precious to us and we love you more and more everyday.
We can't remember life without you and wouldn't change it for the world!
That evening I hosted a Norwex Party. You can learn more about that HERE.
One of my BFF's, Kayla, was there and brought her son, Dylan. Hailey and Dylan are exactly one month apart. He's getting so big.

We had my brother's blessing ceremony at our Church this morning. He is currently sharing the Senior High Director position with another guy from January 15 - April 12, 2012, while Paul is in Peru on sabbatical with his wife. It had to be approved by the board and is a huge deal, thus the blessing ceremony in front of the congregation. This an excerpt from the website:
"Anthony Grillo and Ross Stager will be serving as Interim Sr. High Ministers at Immanuel while Paul is away on sabbatical. Anthony and Ross are long time members of Immanuel, having been a part of the confirmation program and attending several mission trips along the way. Their ministry gifts and talents will be a blessing to the congregation and the youth of Immanuel"
I am so proud of him and this journey he has taken.

Tonight we went and visited my cousin Beth. She had just gotten a new puppy that week. A yellow lab they named Hunter. So we wanted to go meet him. Isn't he precious?
This is only after about an hour of playing that he finally calmed down a bit. We wore him out.
Me with Hunter.
They also have another pup, a yellow lab named Riley, so we were so excited to go see both pups. They got Riley last year, but he is now one big boy!
Me with Riley.
Love the puppy kisses.

Today we went and had lunch at the Horton's house. We met their new dog, Mufasa.
He liked Hailey and Hailey liked him.
We hadn't seen them in awhile and it was a lot of fun.
