It was a great day to learn how to ride a 2-wheeler! Kendree has it down, now for more practice so she can conquer our dirt roads.
A great Labor Day "end of summer" hoorah today. Hiking in the morning, 4-wheeler rides with a baby strapped to by back (she then fell asleep), a snake!, games of chase between Grady and Brynlee, standing practice by the Hallee girl and a little baseball to top it all off (with Marc, our "favorite guy"). So much fun! How to get some zzzz's like cute, dirty Brynlee!
Devynee got new glasses! two pairs so she can choose everyday (and there is a backup pair). She looks so much older!
Hallee is 11 months old! She is a happy baby, but loves to scream a scream that pierces your ear drums. Most of the time it is when she wants your attention. So as the 5th child, that is a lot. She is a pro "stander" and is working on moving those feet. We'll have a walker before long. Hallee is taking two naps a day and sleeps though the night (mostly). She loves all food and would let you hold her on your hip facing outward all. day. long. Hallee will crawl all over the house looking for me or following noises. If we move to another room, it is just a few minutes before she joins us. We love her smiling face and are so glad she is ours!
We spend most of our weekday evenings at the soccer fields for some amount of time. Hallee loves this park especially if Kendree takes her down the slide (when Kendree is not the one practicing) and the wall around the perimeter is the *perfect* height for her.
Bath time baby!
Brynlee loves to sing. She does not like to be recorded. I bribed her the other day by promising that she could watch it when she was done. And no, it wasn't raining.
Hallee is ONE! Well, technically she turned one yesterday but we celebrated today. Hallee has two teeth, loves all food and is busy! Time to think about child proofing some cabinets around here. Hallee will take 5-6 steps between mom and dad when we set it up right and is getting braver on her own, but prefers to crawl most of the time. She takes two naps a day and officially finished nursing this evening (she doesn't know that yet). We had a great day celebrating this little one!
A few moments of our celebration. We had such fun with family celebrating Hallee!
Two more. Hallee's cake was the traditional giant cupcake that all of our kids have had on their 1st birthday. She is getting good at walking and it is so awesome to have Grandma visiting from California to help practice!
