This post has been in draft waiting to be finished and posted for far to long and is very late. Sorry.
Hallie's new skills etc.-
*faster crawling speeds (meaning she can get in to trouble faster than I realize sometimes)
*pulling herself up on ANYTHING even where there isn't anything to grip like flat walls
*she is a steadier stander after she pulls herself up (she doesn't get bruises all the time now)
*cruising along furniture, she is even starting one handed cruising
*free stand for a couple of seconds at a time
*she loves to play peek-a-boo with anything she can (even the flap of her onesie when she is being changed
*loves talking recently she been making alot of the babababa noises
*she is a tricky little thing - (example) we will tell her not to go somewhere, she'll look at us and if we are coming to stop her she just crawls faster to try and get there (example) we tell her "no fingers" and she puts her finger tips to the corner of her mouth with a smirk on her face waiting to see if we'll take them out
*she actually likes eating solid food now and can handle some stuff that isn't mashed up like peas, banana chunks, bread pieces, etc.
*she will let us spoon her mashed up food but anything else she has to feed herself (if I try to help her by putting a pea or something in her mouth she will spit it out and grab one herself and eat it)
* she has TWO TEETH
*right now she is taking 2 naps a day but can actually skip a nap entirely if we are out and there are alot of people to interact with and she won't seem at all up set until all the new people are gone (she is a very social)
This month she discovered that the calendar was made out of paper and started attacking it making it hard to get pictures.
Hallie is so much fun and is regularly wearing Berret and me out!
It was really fun dressing Hallie up. She knows how to work it!
Hunter stealing a kiss from Hallie. Those two are going to be heartbreakers when they grow up.
The random begins... Berret had this head wrap from Guatemala and put it on Hallie even though it was huge on her.
If there is an open cupard, Hallie will be there. This is the huge cupard we got from Ikea a while back. It has been working great because it has lots of storage and Hallie can't open the doors at all. The tv is now mounted to the wall on an arm that makes it so we can change the direction of the tv however we want. Mounting to the wall also makes it safer ensure the tv when get knocked off.
I had my birthday on the 19th and it was an awesome day. Warren and Allison babysat for us while Berret and I got to go to a movie. It was a nice break. Before the movie we got to watch Danielle for a little bit. For the first part she was in the bean bag looking at Berret for the longest time like this. It is so cute how she is peaking over.
I went jogging one Saturday morning and found this when I got home. Hallie loves pillows so Berret put the pillows from the bed in the pack and play and was playing with her.
