Ruff Ruff!

I think the video says it all...

Lion's Park

Grammy and Gramps took Hallie to Lion's Park this past Sunday. This is where Jonathan used to go when he was a little boy...and I'm certain it was the same rides as when he was a kid! Jonathan were out running errands and were luckily able to meet them at the park to experience Hallie's first choo-choo train ride! She loved it! Going through the tunnel was a little scary the first time, but by the second time she was a pro! Hallie loved riding the carousel...although I'm sure it went faster than a carousel really should. She didn't mind though--I mean, she did ride it THREE times! I'm sure we'll be visiting this park again in the future! Hallie did not want to leave.

Hallie Fun!

A visit from Nonna and Pop

My mom and dad (aka Nonna and Pop) came to visit us at our new place for my birthday. It was so much fun to get to see Hallie playing with them. She loved having more people to entertain! It was a fun trip, and as always, we were sad when it came time for them to head back to Alabama! We hope they come back and visit us again soon!

Sidewalk chalk is fun!

Hallie loves to watch the ants crossing!

This was Hallie's birthday present from Nonna and
Pop. We got it while they were here! Hallie
loves her Kangaroo Climber! Thanks, Nonna and Pop!
Peek-a-boo!

I see you!

Last night in Waco...

Hallie was tuckered out! Pop took Hallie up
and rocked her for about 30 minutes while she
was asleep. He said it was the first time he had
gotten to do that! Aww! I know he loved that
snuggle time! So sweet!

That sunshine is bright! On our way to the
airport in Dallas.

Smile, Pop!

Happy 31st, Mommy!

My mommy celebrated her 31st birthday today! Happy birthday to her. I tried to help with the planning of her party, but no one could really understand what I was saying. I wanted spaghetti...but somehow we ended up at Outback! I only have 8 teeth...I can't eat steak. What were they thinking?! Oh well. My daddy did wonderfully on Mommy's birthday cake. We had an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins and it was YUMMY!!! My Nonna and Pop came to Waco to celebrate with us. That was a lot of fun! I'm sure Mommy will post pictures of that soon! We celebrated with Grammy, Gramps, Uncle Jeremy (aka "Monkey's Uncle), and Grandmommy, too! We had so much fun. Of course, I was the entertainment for the evening...it was fun having so many people's attention! Mommy got lots of fun presents...she got a new diaper bag that she is going to love (as soon as it arrives). Of course, I guess that's really for me. I'm glad she's getting it! We're running out of room in our old one. :o)

Love,
Hallie

Our new place...

A few friends have asked for pictures of our new place...so here they are. There aren't many, but that's OK. We're in a cute little two bedroom/two bath apartment here in Waco. We are loving it! Hallie loves having the freedom to go wherever she wants to go. :o)

Monkey in a bag...

OK...this is Hallie's latest thing. It is HILARIOUS. She brings us this old laundry bag and holds it up above her head. Jonathan puts it on the floor and Hallie steps into it, arms raised as if to say, "I'm ready!". :o) The loves for Jonathan to pick her up in it and swing her back and forth. It's their little game! She giggles in delight as he swings her back and forth. She mimics us as we say "wee"! I'll try to post a video of it soon. For now, click on the picture to enlarge it and see her smiling little face. :o) Believe me, this is not torture! lol.

Daddy caught one!!

Sunday Mornings

...and other days, too. If Hallie is awake while Mommy is "getting ready", she has to be in on the action. She sits on the edge of the sink with her feet in the sink. Sometimes she stands up and looks at her cute little friend in the mirror. She watches me closely as I apply my make up, brushing her face with the little blush brush I let her use. She also takes our toothbrushes hostage on occasion.
