Speedy!

Hallie's been lots of fun! She's starting to follow us a bit more into the hallway and kitchen. She's discovered the stools we have at the bar and has tried to pull up! Jason and I are getting a bit more exercise since she's moving around so much!

Her favorite word now is "cat". Lilac is pretty brave around her and only runs when Hallie starts making lots of noise. Hallie has "petted" her a few times and gets excited when she see her! Twice this week, I've gone into Hallie's room in the morning and she'll start saying it! Hopefully, she knows that I am not the cat! LOL!

Pretty in Pink! (and with Pooh!)

Linda took Hallie to Sears to get some pictures done yesterday! They had a great time!

She's been lots of fun lately, wanting to crawl everywhere! She's pretty good about staying near the toys we have in the family room, but she likes to touch the pergo floor lots and has had a few bumps when she's fallen over. :(

She seems like she's trying to stand up a bit and will with assistance. I'm just getting used to her crawling, so I hope that she won't walk for a few more months! It's an adjustment just to handle the crawling! LOL!

She's on the move now!

Hallie's crawling! Jennifer (our daycare provider) told us this week she started to and we witnessed it ourselves on Friday night and Saturday!

The video below is from Saturday; she loves popsicyles!

Today, we went up to Chuck and Deda's mountain house in Linville. The community it's in has a golf cart parade! Here's her patriotic outfit! Mom said everyone was taking pictures of her, saying she was so cute!

Getting ready on the golf cart!

Yesterday, we went to Nana's and Papa's and she enjoyed being in the little pool! Daddy was nice enough to sit in there with her!

Videos from 2 weeks ago!

These are some videos from the other week that I didn't have time to post then!

Fun in the Sun and Playing!

Hallie in a pool for the first time! She wasn't happy at first, but started to enjoy it later!

We went inside and Hallie pulled herself up but I didn't get it on video! (Oh well!). She's still scooting more than crawling, which you can see in the next videos. We call it the "baby moonwalk" when she scoots backwards!

She can sit herself up now by getting on her tummy and pushing herself back on her bottom. This week, I went into her bedroom in the morning and she was sitting up in her bed! It freaked me out so we lowered the bed because I know pulling up in the crib is next!

She really likes when we hold her upside down now!

Father's Day!

First Father's Day! Jason with his mini me!

Jason survived another graduation on the 10th and got to have Monday off! We actually put Hallie in daycare for the morning so he could mow and do a few errands! He's working four ten hour days now, so he got Friday off as well! He brought Hallie to my work so we could show her off to my co workers!

Hallie loves to play on the floor with her toys! She ends up sometimes spinning in a circle on the floor (since she refuses to crawl) but it's so much fun that she's able to sit up and really enjoys her toys! She wears herself out playing and has been going to bed around 7:30! She doesn't fight it when we put her down in her crib too! She just rolls over to her side and is down for the count!

We went to Statesville today to see the Holcomb side! Hallie thinks that the slobber look is in style!

"What you talking 'bout, mama!"

"Do you really think I don't know this is on my head! Come on!"

She gets into the crawl position, but usually has one leg not bent back. I've got some videos to describe more, but they wouldn't load tonight.

Don't you wish your baby was sweet like me!

Hallie stood up today on her own using our coffee table, but we didn't get it on video! I'm sure it will happen again and we will!

She can sort of get in the crawling position, but ends up going backwards instead of forwards. We keep trying to put toys out of her reach to encourage her, but she usually will move on to something else!


I wanted to get a picture of the shirt, so I took a few pics in the attempt to do so! We really like that she can sit up now and play on the floor! She really likes too! She's figured out a lot of her toys that have buttons that make noise and talks/sings all the time! It will be interesting when everything becomes words we can understand!
