The Daily Hailey

…Makes two happy girls shop waaay too much!

Thats right. I’m going on a road trip with my very own (ya, thats right) Jerilee this weekend, with the goal of shopping until we can shop no more! Well, we could keep shopping, but probably our bank accounts couldn’t. Its going to be awesome. So this is going to be a suuuper compressed post of the day, so I can get extra sleep in preparation for our departure time of 6:30am!! Its going to be wicked. Jealous? I would be, if I weren’t the one going.

The events of the day were based around Laela’s doctors appointment. She is five months old and weighing in at 15 lbs 12 oz, which is pretty much huge, actually! Not “Dekker huge,” but pretty big compared to how slowly she was gaining not long ago. Her chubby little body is enveloped in her perfect, smooth skin that is starting to develop little beauty marks already! She also popped tooth #2 today. I can’t believe that!!!

The little man slept on the drive home from the city, and then no more afterwards. He was pretty irritable later in the afternoon but seems to reach this incredibly silly stage into the evening. I LOVE him like that! I spun him in circles and then held his hands while he tried to walk around. We threw balls at each other. We made jokes, and took pictures.

He snuck up behind me at one point, and very lightly cupped my butt, saying “Bum.” Observant little dude. He also named my iPhone button “The La Button” because my lock screen is a picture of Laela. He has never been mischievous with my phone at all, but now he’ll occasionally ask to push the button to look at Laela, and today is finally got its name. He also pulled out “La’s niiiice.” That just warmed my heart.

I love my kids. And my husband. I’ll miss the fam this weekend, for sure. But I’m sooo looking forward to some time away. I can’t remember ever roadtripping solely for the reason of shopping and girl time. I think its overdue. And it may have to become a tradition.

All that being said, I’m off to wind down in a quick bath before bed. Sleep well, all! See you at the mall!
