Interaction


These two have finally found each other. No longer am I the main feature for entertainment at meals...they entertain each other and it is hysterical.

Matthew loves it when Hailey looks at him...it could be just a glance for a second, but he squeals and gets all excited. He thinks it's funny when she coughs or sneezes. If she makes a noise, he is dumbfounded and just stares at her agape.

Hailey looks at Matthew like he's crazy half the time. She thinks it is amusing when he has food all over his face and when he smiles at her.

When they are sitting on the floor playing together, they are actually pretty good at not snatching each other's toys away. I know this won't last forever, but it's cute right now. Whenever they are right next to each other, they are always reaching out for each other and trying to "help" the other one in some way or form - whether they need it or not! Matthew has developed the habit of accidentally pulling Hailey's hair to which she answers with a scream, but other than that, no incidents really stick out.

When they wake up in the morning, they love to have conversations and "talk" to each other. This usually occurs at 5 AM, so Bill or I go in to encourage more sleep. It is cute though...I just wish it happened at 8:30!

Yesterday, they were in the living room while I was eating breakfast. Hailey was in the jumperoo and Matthew was in the exersaucer. They were going back and forth with their babbling while busying themselves with the apparatus. It was the most adorable sound and one that, for a time in my life, I never thought I would hear. I am so happy!
