Easter and Justin/Mr Hoppy turn 2!

 
Hallie got her first haircut at Great Clips in mid March!
 
She did a great job being still and listening!
 



 
 

Justin loves Hallie's luggage backpack!
 
 
 This was Friday night for us a few weeks ago....
every parents dream!
 

 
Hallie loves to ride her bike!



They also love the dune buggy!  Justin will call
Hallie's name out when he wants to ride it!
 




Here's some pics from St Lukes Easter Egg hunt.
 
No pics of Justin, as he wasn't interested in the eggs!
 




 
They are supposed to be in the opposite seats...oh well!
 

 
 
Arlo and Nolan came to visit for Easter and
we had a hunt at Deda's house!






 
Mom, Dad, Jason, and the kids went to Blowing Rock
on Easter Monday and he captured this sweet moment
when they fell asleep with her holding his hand!


 
Justin's little curl!
 


Before we get to Justin's birthday party, here's a little homage to
 
Justin's lovely aka "Mr. Hoppy", "Mr. Hopps" or "HopHop."
 
I'm not sure if Mr. Hoppy is really 2 as well, but I believe he came
with a blanket set that we got when Justin was born.
 
I noticed Justin seemed to want to suck his thumb when he was a few
weeks old, and eventually started to want to hold/rub something
when he did.
 
So, when he was about 7-8 months old or so, I started giving him
Mr. Hoppy to hold when he wanted to fall asleep.
 
Now, we can't live without Mr. Hoppy!  He goes everywhere with us and
definitely comforts Justin when he's tired or upset.
 
He says on him "Cute and Hoppy", hence the name!
 



Justin saw the Elmo water shoes we bought for Hallie
when she was about his age and wanted to wear them today!
 




Thomas cake made by Linda!
 



Lovin' the balloons!
 



New chair!





Hallie "assisting" Justin opening his presents!
 





 
Video of Happy Birthday! He still wasn't sure
what to think about the singing!
 



Justin wasn't as messy this year with his cake;
he wouldn't start eating it until he had a spoon!
 








 
 
He loves his new bike!

March!

 
 
 
Justin has been saying so many words lately!  He says car, cracker, Daddy, Hallie, Mama, Whoa.
 
He loves doors, opening and closing them and also the storage door at Jason's building.
 
He also loves to play in the car, just like Hallie did/does!
 
 
 
He also is learning how to run! He loves being chased, just like Hallie!
 
 
 
He apparently wants to be in a strong man
competition because he likes pushing the car!
 
 
 
We got a kick a few weeks ago when he was running back and forth
from me to Grandpa and kept wanting Grandpa to pull his pants up for him!

The video is too large to post here, but Jason has on his phone!
 
 
 
I took Hallie to see the "Cat in the Hat" play for a mother/daughter date.  It became quite a challenge as the Cat was dressed in a mascot type outfit and Hallie still has her fear of mascots!
 
But she made it through the whole play, which was really cute & funny!
 
Sweet sibling moment!
 


He has skinny legs, just like Hallie!
 

 
The weather is getting warmer...we're lovin' the playground!



Nerdy Hallie!
 

 
Easter Eggs!


 
Here are some pictures from daycare!
 



Already knows how to fill the car with gas!
Scary!

More videos for Snow Fun and New Fish!


 
Here are some videos of the snow and when I went sledding
with Hallie! She loved when I bumped into her!
 
 
 
 
 
We also got Hallie a beta fish that we keep in her room!
 
Justin loves it; he will go to her door and
say "Fish!"

Snow Fun!

 
We have really enjoyed the snow!
We're only able to go out about
20-30 minutes at a time (about 2x a day)
but they both have really loved
sledding!
 
Even Mr. Hoppy joined Justin sledding today!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Practicing!

Justin walking and Some things I forgot!

 
Justin is FINALLY walking!
He still crawls a bit, but is
doing so good!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
He loves the song "All About That Bass."
 
As seen below, he will point to our tv and
say "Bass" until we turn on the video.
 
We also think he may have a
crush on Meghan Trainor!
 
 
Of course, I forgot about some pictures
on Jason's phone from Christmas at the
Grandma and Grandpa's!
 
 




 
Pic of "Baby Yoga!"

 
We had some nice pictures done
at the end of Thanksgiving!
