This is Haylie. She loves books. Loves to destroy them I mean. When I'm not looking she loves to sneak into her bedroom (not really a bedroom, just a hallway in our apartment) and pull all of her books off the self. Sometimes she looks at them, other times she rips out the pages with her amazing 10 month old strength. When she is not destroying books she likes to seek out and eat mouse traps. Lucky for Haylie, when she gets caught in a mouse trap we don't take her outside and cut off her head with the kitchen shears.

That picture is SO cute. And boy, have we been there. Damon ripped my sister's library book to shreds. I guess board books are the way to go for a while.
wow - she is lucky to have such good parents to not cut off her head :)
If you cut her fingers off she wouldn't be able to rip up books. Just a thought...
Haylie looks the most pleased with herself that I've ever seen her; her elation at ruining the book really shines through in the picture, it's great to see. Getting back to our "brutalities of the animal kingdom" talk, if she were a wayward lion cub, Tom would have to eat her for such a trespass. Indeed, she is lucky to be granted such mercy.
ahh gotta love it. my nephew got into the flour in the kitchen once and it was ALL OVER the place, although my mother said we all did that as kids too. but the book thing i'm sure all kids do it at some point! (cuz you know i know so much about kids since i have several of my own... haha) hope you guys are doing good! to bad you weren't able to make it to the wedding last week. I have a few of the pictures on my blog...
I buy books specifically for Linley to rip in the car. It keeps her mouth shut. That is all I have to add to this post. Oh, except that the mouse trap part was most beautifully written!
Awwww, look how proud she is of herself. Adorable! Simply adorable!
Oh my gosh...Nate is the same. So we checked out some books at the library the other day. I found Nate in his bed around 10Pm ripping the pages to shreds. I had the biggest fit! LIBRARY books COM'ON!
Hey chickie, I just tagged you. Head over to my blog for all the juicy details!
