Nine Months today!

Hallie has been lots of fun the last few months! She has a very vocal, lively personality! She makes little screams and noises all the time! Daycare told me today that all morning she played and talked!

We went to Linda and Gary's this weekend and she loves the swing! Just to clarify, her shirt says "Sassy!"

She went to the doctor on May 24th and is 29 1/2 inches and 15.8 pounds. I just looked that up online and it's 95% height and between 25% and 50% for weight!


Jason got a new phone with a camera, so this was the first picture we took!

I've bee wanting to take a pic of her two bottom teeth! This was the best I could do! The top ones still haven't come through!


Hallie loves to bounce and we did NOT teach her this. She likes to lean forward and then throw herself back on the couch! Linda and Gary got her a camera toy and she's already figured out the button that makes it speak! I think she's engineering minded!

She also has a drum now (like Isaiah's) and loves to bang on it! She also likes to give kisses on the cheek, which are very wet and sloppy, but they're nice!

Playing!

Hallie has been sitting up quite well for awhile! She did topple over twice after I took this picture, but she seems to catch herself well! She still doesn't really like to be on her stomach and won't get into the crawl position. But yesterday when we went into her room in the morning, she had flipped herself on her belly and wasn't crying! We were suprised!



This week, the weather was rainy and cold, so daycare went to the mall playground. They are nice enough to send me pictures sometimes from their phones! Here's her and Jada!



They went to Chuck-e-Cheese the next day. The last night, she cried the whole time, but she did much better that day! This expression definitely is a "Starnes" look. Mom says Chris and I both crinkled our nose when we were little and Isaiah has done it too!




Apparently, Chuck-e-Cheese got a bit boring, so she took a nap! LOL! She still puts one or both arms on her head when she sleeps!

She's not so afraid of the camera anymore!

Mother's Day!

I decided to wear a shirt Hallie loves! It has a design on it that she likes to grab! She really likes my necklaces too!

She's been saying lots of "la -as" and "ba" and said "Ma!" the other night. Jason says he think he's heard "Da Da." She just jibber jabbers a lot so it will be interesting to find out what the words will be!

First Road Trip!

We went to Atlanta last week, Thursday to Sunday to meet with Chris, Lesley and Isaiah. Hallie was very good on the car rides, mainly sleeping and playing with toys!

We stayed in a house together, which was fun! It also was helpful since Hallie did not sleep through the night and woke up crying a few times! I am sure if we had been in a hotel, we would have gotten some complaints!

We had a great time just being together! Isaiah is talking and loves to tell us what a duck says!

Thursday night, we headed to the famous Varsity restaurant for hot dogs and hamburgers!

On Saturday, we were a few blocks away from a ice cream shop, so we got chocolate with oreos and chocolate chips! Hallie loved it too!

Friday afternoon, we went to the Aquarium! Hallie was good there and we enjoyed strolling her around! I think she noticed the fish....

She only really screamed once and thankfully, I had a bottle, so we took a break!

Mom and Isaiah!

This time, Isaiah just patted her head instead of popping it like he did at Christmas!

He loved playing with the donuts!

Easter!

Here's a toosh picture for Karen! Bow on the toosh!



Easter dress!

We had a great Easter weekend! I had off on Friday, so we went to eat lunch with Jason.

On Saturday, we went to Lexington for my cousin Jake's birthday at his house. The kids had an Easter egg hunt and played!

Hallie thought the Easter eggs were for eating! It's plastic!

Then, we headed to Statesville to celebrate Lee's birthday! Athrun is walking!

Aida hunted for eggs!

Today, we had Easter at Chuck and Deda's. Their dogs were worn out!

They sent me this from daycare this week! Eating at the park! The next day, they went to Chuck-e-Cheese and they said she cried the whole time!

Videos!

Vidoes are Hallie sitting up on Friday morning, laughing with Becca, swinging at Jake and Kelly's house with Drake and Victoria.

Random Pictures from the weekend!

Hallie's second tooth came through, so the first of last week was rough with her waking up at night, but towards the end, it got better!

Friday, we went down to Statesville to visit with Nana and got some cute picture with the flowers!

Saturday, Dean, Karen, McKenzie and Lee came up and gave her an Easter basket!

Saturday afternoon, we visited at Chuck and Deda's, where Arlo had come up for awhile!

I had to get some naked baby pictures because she has a "budda belly!"

New Food Pictures!

Jason gave her a bit of the vanilla of McFlurry on Friday! She loved it!

She chewed on a lemon at the Olive Garden on Saturday night!
