Beautiful Girl

I don't know why, but Hailey has really changed this last year. She's gained about 10 pounds and grown 4 inches! She just doesn't look like a "little girl" anymore! She is such a sweetie and is maturing so much. We are definitely in new parenting territory though with this age and stage. Somehow having her go sit on the steps for discipline feels a little ridiculous. So we are learning new older kid strategies.

She's really into watching iCarly and Victorious lately. LOVES to watch those two shows. Also loves to go online especially to the American Girl website. Also loves to turn the music on really loud and sing and dance. She is often leading the other kids as well as the random friends and neighbors and cousin over here in her own version of American Idol or Dance With the Stars or something. Each gets their turn to perform and then everyone votes. Depending on who wins/loses and the current mood determines if the game goes on or if someone bursts into tears and runs from the room. Oh yes...new territory in Hoeferidian. ☺
