My LiTtLe MiNi!!

So Hallee just had her 9 month doctors appointment. Here are her stats.

Height- 27 inches (25th percentile)

Weight- 16 lbs. 2 oz. (10th percentile)

She is so mini. The doctor said she needs to gain some weight. What? This is my little chubby 8 lbs. 6 oz. baby! What happened? I think she is just perfect... but we will try to plump her up!

Hallee's 9 Month Favorites:

Food: Anything she can feed herself+ bananas and sweet potatoes.

Activites: Reading books, playing with other kids, daddy coming home, talking on the phone, crawling, pulling everything out of where it belongs, eating whatever mom and dad has, standing up, smiling, waving, giving kisses, laughing, playing with mom's hair, taking baths and hearing herself talk.

We love you Halle Bear! She gets funner everyday!

So Hallee LOVES books!! Which makes me sooo happy, because children's books are one of my loves! Plus, I have been collecting them for so many years (being a teacher and all).

I will put her on the floor with some toys and books, to play. This is what I find:

PRICELESS!!!

GeTtiNg sO biG!!

Our Hallee bear is eight and a half months old! It has gone by sooo fast! She has all sorts of new tricks... her favorite being able to stand. She LOVES it. She feels so big!

She love to crawl/drag herself around the room. We spend hours playing games, moving around the house.

As always.... loves to smile and turn on the charm!

Look at the little crawler in motion!

She loves playing with her toys... especially her dad! He is the funnest toy!

Always posing!

Loves to pull everthing out of the diaper bag! She also loves to dump out her toy buckets!

So happy being big!

WiNteR BaBy! Six MoNthS Old!

SleDdinG wiTh tHe ShOrtS

The Short's have a tradition, the day after Christmas all the cousins go sledding together. Then we go have hot chocolate and scones. Well this was Hallee's 1st time going sledding, and really her first time out in the snow. You can see she is really excited about it.

She actually did surprisingly well. She didn't do much sledding, and didn't mind the cold. The only time she cried was when mom and dad went down the hill at the same time. I think she heard mom screaming! LOL She likes to be able to see one of us.

Not quite sure what is going on!

She couldn't move her head much. Doesn't she look like Ralfy from the "Christmas Story"? Her arms wouldn't go down! But she was sure warm.

She got tired of watching everyone. She needed a nap. So she did. It was so hard to hold her in that bulky suit. She looks stiff as a board.

Hallee's favorite part was when we went back and had hot cocco and she got to play with her cousins. She LOVES her little cousins. What a fun tradition! Thanks Short fam!
