Hallie is 10 months!

At 10 months old Hallie is crawling all over the place! She is also pulling herself up to a standing position and starting to walk along the furniture. Hallie loves to give kisses and play patty cake. She also loves clapping to cheer on brother at swim lessons. She is very close to getting her top two teeth. One of them will be making its debut very soon. Hallie loves to throw her voice and she even sings along with anyone who will sing to her. When anyone holds her and says "nice Hallie" she lays her head on their shoulder and pats them. Hallie is so full of personality and smiles all the time! We are so blessed to have our baby girl!

My babies are getting so big!

We were so excited to get Hallie & Jacob's pictures taken by our good friends at Lott Photo's. We started in downtown Lodi and then went out to Oak Farm Vineyards to finish the shoot. Here is just a glimpse of how they turned out.

Fourth of July 2010

This year we spent the 4th of July in Lake Tahoe with the entire family! The lake was beautiful and the fire works were breathtaking! Being surrounded by the beauty of Lake Tahoe makes me in awe of our creator!

Hallie is 9 months old!

At 9 months old Hallie weighs 16 lb 2 oz. She finally got her bottom two teeth in! Hallie also has learned to crawl normal and doesn't do her army crawl anymore. Hallie is getting really good at waving bye bye too! She loves playing in her pool and hanging out in brother's room when he's in there. She is quite the giggle box and is very ticklish too. We love her to death and couldn't have asked for a better daughter!

Jacob's 4th Birthday Party

We celebrated Jacob's 4th Birthday with a Mario themed party at Impact Sports Center. The kids had a blast jumping in the bounce houses and on the trampolines, swinging from the trapeze, playing on all the blocks in the obstacle course, and hopping down the Tumbltrak into the foam pit. Jacob was so blessed to spend his birthday with family and friends!

Hallie is 8 months!

At 8 months Hallie is starting to be much more curious. She examines everything and everyone she comes into contact with. She is also becoming more vocal. She says dada, baba, and mama. Hallie still has no teeth but we are sure its going to happen any day now as she chews on anything she can find. Hallie waves bye bye and gives kisses. She loves playing in her saucer and is also is very close to crawling. At this point she can get anywhere she wants to, but still prefers army crawling. Hallie loves praise and worship at church. Hallie still has such a sweet spirit and is very content. She sleeps through the night and stays on her schedule very well. Hallie is very ticklish and giggles so hard when her palms are tickled. Hallie loves Jacob as he always makes her laugh. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter daughter and sissy!
