Digging the new rain boots

Happy with her sippy cup!

Hallie: 8 months

Oh my how time flies with this little one!  She is still just as happy as can be!  She still thinks that Chance hangs the moon!  He can make her laugh just by giving her the slightest bit of attention.

• She sits up great and is lunging forward wanting to go but instead lays flat on her belly and cries! n(she still despises tummy time)
• Learned to clap her hands and says Yay!
• Can wave bye-bye
• Can say Mama, dada and bye-bye (lots of jibberish)
• She can scream bloody murder whether happy or mad (this evidently is a trait I passed down:)
• Chance has taken on the personal goal of teaching her how to talk and walk he says.  Not sure if he knows the repercussions of these actions on his peaceful world right now.  
• Much much better at baby food.  Her favorites are the orange veggies (mainly sweet potatoes and carrots)
• Still a great sleeper during the day and night!
• Has two bottom teeth
• Hair is long enough for short little pigtails
• Gets very excited when the dogs are around but will just pull their hair
• Can drink from her sippy cup and even through a straw!  
• Has the cutest and most infectious little laugh!

Clapping!

First Pigtails!

Into the Woods we go....

We went for a little walk in the wooded area by our house that Chance loves to visit!  He has no fear hiking on all the rocks and creek beds.  He is his daddy's son and could spend all day every day outside!

Boerne Labor Day Parade

Ben and I took the kids to the Labor Day parade in Boerne.  It was so much fun!  This was the first parade for both of the kids!  Chance loved the clowns, marching bands, and the fire trucks!  He now wants to play march all over the house.  He even says hup two three four to keep pace!  We will definitely try to make parades in the future.  He loaded up on all the candy being thrown.  Daddy has since eaten the whole stash!

Girls Night

About a month ago we had a girls night with church at Misty's home.  We had a wonderful lady come out that helped us all paint a picture.  We had a great time painting and laughing.  I showed Chance my picture and he tells people that is my mommy's picture that she painted!  He is proud.  I may need to get a canvas and let him go to town soon!
