Birthdays

So over the last couple of weeks we have been able to celebrate 2 birthdays with the brower fam. First chris and then brit. Monday for brit's birthday we headed to dinner and then had cake and ice cream after. We had a great time and I'm thrilled that Hallie is getting to know both sides of her family better.

First Solids-cereal March 8

You can't see it but she has cereal everywhere
Gross have you ever tasted this stuff but they say thats what your supposed to star with so we are Hallie didn't seem to mind it but spent most of her time sucking on her hands and eating her bib, maybe she will be more interested when its real food.

A short trip to St. George

In order for Hallie and I to get home Matt came to St. George and it just so happened that my cousin blessed her baby that sunday so we spent some more time in the sun and on the way home Hallie figured out how to hold her bottle which is quite the accomplishment since she rarely has a bottle. Oh she also rolled from tummy to back on Feb 24.

Vegas Vacation

Got smarted by doing home work with Nate

Played with the ball

Jumped on the tramp

Sat in the sun
So for the first week of March Hallie and I got to go and spend sometime withmy family in Las Vegas. It was so nice but we missed Matt terribly. My mom and dad took very good care of us and there were more than enough hands to help me with Hallie. While in vegas hallie did a few things she had never done. She has decided that she loves Nate and would watch him do everything although Nate had to fight maddi to get a chance to hold her. We had a blast and can't wait to go again.

Hallie laughing

Hallie has been laughing for sometime but I have yet to get her to do it long enough for me to get it on video. Lately when she gets excited she pants and squeals. A couple days ago I was getting ready and she started getting excited about something so I started to pant and squeal back and she really liked it. Dont pay any attention to the wierd noises I was making. What you do to make your kids laugh.

Friends

Matt and Corey have been friends for a long time and naturally when I became friends with Matt corey was part of the package deal and he got even better when he married his amazing wife, mindi. We truely worried about corey until he married her. Then they had Nathan and when we found out we were having a girl the planning started. Matt and Corey decided that Nathan and Hallie should have an arranged marriage. It appears that Corey has been training Nathan quite well because when we saw them last week all Nathan wanted to do was to hug Hallie but when we offered to let him hold her that was short lived and her wanted to give her back. Were so glad we have friends like Mindi and Corey and hopefully Hallie and Nathan will at least be friends in the future.

She has found her feet

Just within the last week or two Hallie has completely found her feet. She holds on to her two big toes and just jabbers and swings them around. She also has become quite into eating/sucking on her burp rag its so funny. I put it out in front of her she reaches and grabs it and shoves it in her face...funny child.
