Now and Then

Hallie is very active! Some of our friends had a baby on January 14th and are struggling with the lack of sleep. I thought even though Jason and I thankfully get a full night's sleep now, we're still tired since we chase after her all the time! There's no sitting still with her!


Randomly, she did wake up around midnight early Friday morning. We thought it was her teeth and Jason went to go rock her. I fell asleep and then awoke to hear laughter. I went into the family room and she was playing! Jason said she was wide awake and kept crying in the crib....so why not play at midnight??? She did fall asleep about an hour later. Thankfully, this hasn't happened since (cross fingers).


She also loves to climb on the chairs and really enjoys sitting in the bar chairs, which sort of scares us a bit since they're very high! But she's good about not wiggling too much!


This week, Hallie has figured out how to walk her puppy toy! She also started carrying around her dolls and stuffed animals!




We went to Ruby Tuesdays on Saturday and she loved the black olives I got off the salad bar! Who knew! She still loves her bananas too! Here's a video from almost exactly a year ago of her eating some bananas!!!




Here's flashback video from a year ago! (It's labeled late February, but I don't remember it!)


I can't believe what chubby cheeks she had!

More Talking!

Hallie has really started to say a lot more words lately and parrots a bit more!

She calls Elmo..Delmo!

She says puppy (more like buppy)
She says banana (more than manana)
She can say her name, but sometimes it sounds like "Howie" (which we think is so cute!)

She starting to recognize more animals, like cows and sheeps (which she calls "ba-ba")
During Christmas, she learned tree and Santa!

She even said "night-night" tonight!

She's bringing more books to us to read to her!

Jason had off today, so I took the afternoon off. It was a bit cold but we went to Winkler Park for awhile! She loves the slides!



Saturday, Nana and Papa came to celebrate Jason's birthday and Nana made some wonderful cupcakes! She definitely loves chocolate like Jason!





She likes Motown! Billy and Joyce got Jason a birthday card that sings "I heard it through the grapevine" and she loves it! She didn't want to stop listening to it!
