The entire fam is just getting over a cold.  Yep, all of us got miserably sick including baby Hailey.  Foruntately I think she also got over it faster than mom and dad though and we’re all starting to feel a lot better.

Baby Hailey is getting up and walking all over the place now.  She went from just taking a few short steps and falling down to full on walking, turning corners…the whole bit.  And she’s doing it often and right in front of us, she was shy before and would only trying walking when she thought we couldn’t see her.  Now she’s a regular pro.

On the flip side, baby Hailey is also starting a phase we all know as the terrible two’s.  She’s getting really whiney lately over nothing it seems.  Though, she does still have a few new teeth coming in, so I’m sure that doesn’t feel to good.  But she is getting really fussy about certain things, like going to bed for instance, she cries louder and longer than she used to.  And riding in the car just yesterday on the way to and from church she really let us have it.  Hope that’s a quick phase!

These things are life savers!  Baby Hailey has been taking a few steps here and there and getting much more adventurous.  A week or so ago she would climb up the stairs one or two steps before she got scared and called for us to come get her.  The other day, the same day she started zipping around on her walker, she made it up the entire flight of stairs before we realized she was even on them.  Talk about a panic!

We started putting up a baby gate on whatever floor we are on to keep her off the stairs.  She’s an ace no doubt on getting up those stairs, down is another story though and she has tried.  I’m nervous that she’ll slip one of these days and go tumbling down, so the gate is going to be a more permanent fixture in our house.  I’ll let her play on the stairs when I can be right behind her with my hands ready to catch her but otherwise she’s grounded.
