TROUBLE

2.5.2010

Do you notice something wrong with this picture? Yes, Hallie is indeed supposed to have that wrap around her arm.
I went in to get her after her nap and this is how I found her, with her wrap being used as a beautiful necklace and her splint on her floor, and her looking oh so proud. Not to mention this is about two days after she broke her wrist. Unfortunately this happens quite frequently, especially when we put her in bed. She is trouble. :)

18 Months!

Who knew that a year and a half could fly by so fast. Today we went for Hallie's 18 month well baby visit, and everything is looking good.

She is 33 inches tall (86th percentile), 25.95 pounds ( 74th percentile), and her head is 19.75 inches around. So basically she is getting tall and thinning out, and still has a big head. :)

At 18 months Hallie is...

-saying all sorts of words
-is in complete LOVE with Elmo
-running all over and we're trying to keep up with her
-going to nursery and loving it
-not sleeping as well as she once was
-is a such a busy body
-can climb up onto the couch by herself
-can't open doors, thank goodness
-is such a polite little miss, saying please, thank you and bless you
-is still the love of our lives!

Hallie has recently started to enjoy playing with her big legos, but she still needs some help. So this day we built a tower using every last one! Then of course Hallie promptly made it go "crash!", one of her favorite words.

Two pictures, one year apart. Kind of really crazy. :) Though we still think that she is a cute as ever!

Wrist Update

We went to the doctor today thinking they were going to cast Hallie's arm, but they didn't. The doctor said that it is looking great, so he just made a splint for the top of her arm too. She now has a splint on top and bottom. After another week and a half we will take it off. I was happy that it will be easier to give her a bath, but now her little arm is so big that she can only wear short sleeve shirts so she plays with it more. Oh well.

A couple months ago we inherited Whitney & Audrey's play kitchen that they had outgrown. It had been in storage, but with the move of our office, we finally had room for it. Hallie cracks me up with it, it's amazing how she knew exactly what to do. They really do watch everything you do. We have a lot of fun with it. Thanks again Peterson Family!

This is what gets me everytime! She knows exactly how the microwave works, she pushes some buttons, opens the door, sometimes puts things in, closes the door and pushes some more buttons. She's a nut!
Just us.
