The Daily Hailey

After being busy (good busy!) all week, today was just a quiet day at home with the kids. We did laundry and watched some TLC and played and snacked and generally enjoyed each other’s company. The weather was perfect too – blustery and dark, so the house stayed cool and the kids room was darker at nap time. It apparently helped a lot, since both kids slept just about three hours!!! We never get that kind of stretch out of Laela, so I was pretty pleased! I talked with my sister on the phone for a solid two hours this afternoon, which was so great. I love her. And miss her. A lot.

Brady brought home guilty pleasure food for supper, and we played upstairs for a little while. Most notably about today, Laela pulled up for the very first time!!! She’s been crawling for a week, and now, she is successfully pulling up. She pulled herself up on the couch I was sitting on, and once she was officially standing, she squealed and just beamed at me 😀 It was awesome!!! We clapped and made a huge deal of it all, and she was thrilled. She really, really responds to positive reinforcement. I love her.

Once the kids were solidly finished with the day, we get them all changed and ready for bed. Deks is down and Laela is drinking her milk. Soon it will be bath time, some Bachelorette, and maybe snack time. I really overate at supper, so maybe not so much snack time.

Nice to be home, cuddling with my kids.
