All Grown Up

We celebrated Hallie's 2nd birthday this past week. Where has the time gone that our little baby has turned into this amazing beautiful little girl? We love her so much and she adds so much sugar and spice to our lives!

Hallie got a new kitchen for her birthday this year and it is a huge hit! It is the first big toy we have put up in her room, and she is loving it!

She wasn't too sure about blowing out her candles, but after Calebs example she did great.

It was fun to have both grandparents on Skype to watch her open her presents and blow out her candles and just spend the evening with us!

LOVES her new computer!

Wears her new shoes everywhere...seriously she played at a park in them.
(They are dress up heels with a pretty decent heel)

Princesses...the new favorite toy of our little princess!

2 year old facts

*Hallie as shown above LOVES Princesses these days and is for hours on end playing with them (Everything is a princess too...she even put a package of candy to sleep on a tissue paper today..pretending it was a princess...hah)

*She talks in FULL sentences. We can carry on almost as good of a conversation with her as Caleb

*She is BOSSY...the only time she speaks in nursery is apparently when she is telling the boys she doesn't like what they are doing.

*She finally LIKES nursery and goes willingly and is excited about going!

*She climbs on EVERYTHING

*She knows quite a few letters and their sounds

*LOVES animals (every time we pull in or out of our development she points out the llamas and horses and cows)

*Loves getting her hair done..and will let me do quite intricate things to it...even though 2 mins later it looks like we never do her hair b/c of how active she is.

*If you ever visit her in her play kitchen she will make sure you don't go thirsty. she will offer you glass after glass of water.

*CHOCOLATE is her favorite food...wonder where she got that from??

*Walks around (and runs) through the house and up and down the stairs (much to our disapproval) better than I do in my stiletto high heels!

*Has an AMAZING imagination and can carry on a conversation between princess dolls for hours...as long as their noses are touching when they talk...they have to be really close!

*Loves having stories told to her to put her to sleep

*Loves tummy raspberries and will say "DO it again!"  in the cutest voice over and over again/

*Is amazingly beautiful and we love her to pieces!
