Ten Things About Hallie

Lately I have been reflecting on how grateful I am to have my little Hallie. She is my little buddy. I couldn't have asked for a better little girl. She is the best and I feel so blessed to have her in my life. She has brought me so much joy. Here's a list of 10 things about Hallie.

1. She is OBSESSED with Elmo! If you say "Do you want to watch Elmo?" She starts singing, "la la la la" (the Elmo song), run to her little chair and patiently wait for it to come on. It's so fun to watch her dance and enjoy it.

2. She loves kissing. You name it, she'll do it. Open mouth, pecks, eskimo kisses...My favorite is when she's playing and will stop, just walk over to me and give me a kiss. So adorable.

3. She loves reading books. Her favorite is to read them with her Daddy. I am amazed at how long she will sit with him and read with him.

4. She is quite into animals and making animal sounds. She's moved from her first love of a dog, to a fish (which we now have as a pet),to a horse. Bet you didn't know fish made noise huh? Well just ask Hallie, she'll tell you what they say!!

5. She has the most adorable smile ever and uses it often! My favorite is when she gets really excited, she wrinkles up her nose and gives the biggest grin.

6. She is the BEST at going to bed and sleeping. She goes to bed happy and wakes up happy. When we say, "time for night night" she'll walk to her room and stand by her crib. (sometimes :))

7. She has an obsession with Tommy Cannon(her boyfriend). Seriously whenever she sees him, she gets SOOO excited. She kinda likes to kiss him alot (sorry Candice). They are so funny when they get together. He is sortof the magic word in our house. If Hallie is cranky or crying, all I have to say is Tommy and she stops and smiles. (then goes to the door because she thinks we're going to see him).

8. She loves playgrounds and being outside. I think if she could, she'd play at the park ALL day. Every morning after she eats breakfast she brings me her shoes and stands by the door ready to go outside. She is FEARLESS at the playground too.

9. LOVES waving. This was like the first gesture she learned to do and it hasn't died down. I love when we're in public and she just starts waving to random people. Some people look at us so weird and others, it makes their day. She also likes to wave at people while we're driving. It took me awhile to realize why random people were waving at me while I drove :)

10. Hallie has such a happy personality. From the day she was born people ask if she ever cries or is ever sad (those that are around us for sure know she does). She is so easy going and really the majority of the time is so happy. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter!!
