Hallie's Observations

Hallie has been saying some funny things lately...about other people. 

(thanks for the new jammies Grama Bev!)

We were walking through Walmart last week, and Hallie starts squealing and pointing to a tall black guy...I couldn't hear exactly what she was saying, but I was just cringing inside as we approached him. He smiled as Hallie yelled, "He's bawd!  He's bawd!!" We recently have had discussions about bald people.  Also about wrinkly people. She's pointed out on several occasions, quite loudly, that an old person was "bumpy." 

She's such a sweetheart though. She loves her friends, always wanting to gives hugs and kissies. Hallie is such a great big sister too--she and Brielle love to play on the floor and giggle (until someone starts crying). Hallie is learning so much every day and is always making me laugh!

First Steps!

Brielle took her first steps a couple weeks ago, RIGHT before she turned 10 months! Yay Brie!

Here's a video:

Ignore the poor quality--I just grabbed the camera... and when I say "I knew this would happen" I mean: I knew that if she would just take a couple steps, she would be walking within days!

Her last well visit showed that she was at the 14th percentile for wt for age and 33 percentile for ht for age. She's a little bitty baby! I would feel much more safe with a fat baby, but whatcha gonna do? Let's just say we don't spare the butter or french fries!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

May you and your family have a safe, happy, healthy Holiday!

Family Pics

Thanksgiving weekend we took these pics with the fam.

Thanks JoAnna!

Brielle!

So... I thought it was finally appropriate to post Brielle's 6 month pictures now that she's almost.. 9 months old....ahem.

She had a fun photo shoot back in September--Enjoy!

Thanks to Carly, my VERY pregnant friend who clicked the pics!

Still very much an angel baby, we all love her to bits and pieces!!!

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend!

I love my little Cinderella and baby monkey!

Hallie's Birthday

Sorry in advance, this is a no-picture post. I've been terrible with blogging and our computer crashed, so I don't have pictures readily available (fortunately, most of the pictures were saved! yay!).

Hallie's birthday was on September 4, and it was so fun to spend the day doing fun things for her. We went to the zoo (she loved the carousel!), gattitown for dinner, then home for cake & presents! She loved all her gifts and the balloons/sign in her room when she woke up in the morning.

3 years has passed by so quickly. Babies change so much in 3 years, sniff! She's such a sweet little girl, smart, and likes to comment about everything, applying it to herself (or Cinderella). I guess we survived the terrible twos, but what about the sassy threes? It will be an adventure, I'm sure!
