september 8 months

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!

I am excited to hear what new things she has learned since the last pictures were taken almost a month ago. She seems to be growing very fast. Your room looks wonderful. I was impressed how little Hallie looked next to your entertainment cupboard -- she looks like she knows that when a door might be open it is time to check it out. Have lots of fun -- the time goes to fast.


I agree with most of your friends when they talk about how cute and adorable Hallie is -- but don't forget how cute and adorable both her parents are. Have fun and enjoy!!!!
