Haley

Its time for you to learn about Haley.  Most people that read this that know Haley know Haley from a year ago.  Since she is turning two I will let you know more about our little girl so that you can get more of an idea of what her personality is like...

Style:
Is 2 years old too young to develop your own fashon style??  I think not.  Haley loves dresses, all dresses.  She loves shoes and cheers and claps for them if we are in a shoe store or if we are looking at them online.  Currently her favorite pair of shoes is a blue canvas pair of maryjanes that have little white flowers on them.  We always give her options of what she wears of a morning, but then she chooses the accessories.  The other day she went to school in plaid shorts, and a tank top.  To go with it, she chose her denim jacket, plastic pearls, and her LSU baseball hat.  Other days she picks a dress and wants to wear her rain boots with it.  She has started to like bows more and really likes ponytails.  In spanish a ponytail is called a cola, but every morning Haley tells us she wants a coka which is also what she calls Coke sometimes.

Animals:
Haley loves butterflies, monkeys, dogs, cats and hippos.  As we are walking, when a dog runs to a gate barking at us Haley laughs and claps.  She thinks God created doggies just for her enjoyement.  She always wants to wear her clothes with butterflies on it, and she giggles when she sees pictures of hippos.

Books:
Every night we read together.  Haley's favorite books are the book of nursery rhymes that Nana reads.  "Myrtle the Turtle", a book that a lady from my grandma's church wrote, and a book with lots of different animals in it.

Toys:
Haley, right now loves blocks.  She always wants to build and tear down her "towshers".  Her other favorite toys are her baby doll, her Minnie Mouse, and her purple doggie that Mrs. Donna got her for her birthday last year.  She also loves balls.

Things to do:
Haley loves to play at the park.  She climbs, slides, swings and runs for a couple hours at a time.  She loves to play in the dirt and rocks, and she thinks she can do anything the older kids can do.  Haley also likes to listen to music and read with Mommy.  She loves to help clean, and pick things up (really don't know where that one came from).  Haley has recently started liking to color.  We bought her some coloring books after we found her trying to draw on the wall (fortunately it was with a pencil not permanent marker).  She loves to spin and circles and play with her mommy and daddy.  And as I mentioned before, she loves to build with her blocks.

Foods:
Haley loves any fruit, especially apples, bananas, watermelon, and pineapple.  She loves pizza, chicken, and baleadas (which are much like quesadillas).  And a girl after my own heart, she loves anything sweet.

Other:
Right now Haley loves Dora.  She watches Dora at school, and has a couple Dora placemats.  She knows all of the characters and always points them out to us.  We are going to find a Dora doll for her when we get to the states.  She also loves all things with princesses and Minnie.
She loves things that go:  cars, motorcycles, buses, planes all facinate her.
Haley loves all babies.  Many times she will stop playing at the park, just to go see a baby. 

Haley is always keeping us laughing, and she fills this world with so much joy.
