Merry Christmas!

It was a wonderful Christmas! Haley actually opened most of her presents, with only a little bit of assistance from mom & dad. She peeled off each piece of paper, and handed them over to Daddy. As usual, she was more interested in the wrapping than the actual gifts, but she did eventually start to enjoy everything she received. At first the opening of the gifts didn't make much sense to her, since for the weeks leading up to Christmas, she wasn't allowed to touch the tree or the gifts. Now we're asking her to not only touch the gifts, but rip all of the paper off of them. Unfortunately this also led her to believe she was allowed to now touch the tree too (smart little monkey). Haley still only points and barely touches the ornaments, she hasn't tried pulling anything off the tree, I'm quite impressed.
Haley has sure got the hang of walking now. Her walk quickly turned into a run, and crawling has become a thing of the past. I can't believe how fast it all happens! A month before Christmas she was a very shaky walker, and now she walks everywhere! We went to the mall for a little boxing week shopping, she was quite happy to walk down the mall like a big girl. Of course she's still so tiny, it looks pretty strange to see someone so small walking so well.
