Music, Playing in the Rain, and More!

It seems Hallie really enjoys music!   She likes us to play the radio now in the car and it appears she likes the hard rock station the best!  LOL!    It impresses us how easily she picks up on words and music melodies.  She loves to sing the "God our Father" blessing and "Jesus loves the little children."   She also sang "Jesus loves me" and sang just about every word, which surprised me!

We let her play in the ran a few weeks ago and she loved it!

We've had lots more interaction with the dogs lately, which has been fun! She laughs when they lick her hands and tries to get them to chase her in the sunroom!  With fall/winter coming, I'm sure we'll have plenty of nights of doing this soon!  We let the dogs in the house one evening and she wanted them to chase her down the hallway!

She's becoming a bit more "girlie" too!  She finally likes the tu-tu my friend gave us at Christmas and loves to wear this neon green necklace, that actually is the daycares that they let her keep!

She's probably eating some "pips" here...aka "chips"

Hallie's two!

We had a great birthday party down at Lakewood Park on Saturday!   Even though it did downpour about 6:45, the kids had already played a lot on the playground, so it wasn't the end of the world!  

We did a Hello Kitty theme!

Athrun wanted to blow out the candle!

Aida wanted to put the candle in the cake!

 We were so excited that Isaiah, Chris, and Lesley came in!

She took one of the candles and used it to eat ice cream!

Aida also assisted in opening presents!

They also liked sliding down the slide together!

And playing in the rain!

She also loved playing with McKenzie!

I  think it did surprise her to see Isaiah!

 

 

 Feeding the ducks!

 Isaiah and Hallie played together well and loved chasing each other around the house!

Here's the Starnes gang!

We decided to do a sandbox for Hallie, so Jason built one on Sunday 

and we showed it to her today!

I'm busy, mama!

I think we may be in for a sassy year!  Hallie's getting more strong willed with every day and picking up things so quickly!  I tell the dogs to "hush" when they bark and just this weekend, Hallie realized that she can tell people to hush, which would mean mom and dad!  She seems to think it's funny to tell us to hush, but we do not like it! Ahh......terrible and terrific twos!
