• Eating- 24 oz a day. And anything else she can get her hands on! She wants EVERYTHING mommy eats! Loves yogurt, pasta, bread, rice, chicken, veggies, avocado, turkey, berries and puffs! Daddy has also given her fish and beef, which Mommy doesn’t eat, but she liked it! 
• Milestones- Crawling and pulling up on EVERYTHING! Clapping! Waving! She can even walk holding on. Getting pretty close to doing it on her own  Loves singing and dancing. Still no teeth! 
• Words she can say: Hi, Hey, Mama, Dada, Bye Bye and “Ey-ya”- Which means “Stella” because she will shout it at the dog! Or any dog for that matter!
•  Memorable outings- Playgroup, Fort Worth, Visiting Auntie Callie and the boys
• Favorite toys/activities- Peek-a-boo! She actually learned to do it herself! She will hide her face in the couch until we say “where’s Hallie?” then she pops her head up! It’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen! Prayer Bunny which we call Luna bunny. Still loves her turtle which we have named Dewy, Taggie elephant and princess dolly.  Also: Puppets, especially Kermit! She loves books! A girl after my own heart! We read before bed every night! She got a Children’s Bible for her Baptism, and we always do that before bed with a prayer.

She also really enjoys listening to music. Clapping and Waving! WALKING with help! Seriously it makes her sooo happy! Loves dressing up! Beads and shoes! She is SUCH a social butterfly and loves to play with her friends! 
• Nicknames- I call her sweet pea, peanut, peanut butter, sweet girl or Hal…Daddy likes to call her Daniel son when I put headbands on her…but other than that sticks to a generic sweetie or cutie!
• Funny moments- When I am eating, she like to open her mouth and get close to mine…I guess she thinks I am going to “baby bird” her the food…lol not happening! Peek-a-boo! 
• Looking forward to- Easter and  Cherishing the rest of this first year! Love my baby girl!

This girl really does love dressing up! She is my little Diva already at 9 months! I snapped these with my phone yesterday (excuse the photo quality)

Something crazy happened over the weekend y’all….

Hey y’all! Beth from Our Pretty Little Girls was kind enough to invite me to occupy her space today and be a part of her “Girl Mom” series! So head on over there and check out my post! While you are there, make sure to peruse her site and get to know her adorable family!
See you back here tomorrow!

Just a few photos of Hallie celebrating St. Patrick’s day!
We wore green, played with green toys and ate Hallie’s favorite, spinach at lunch! Can’t wait until she is old enough to really celebrate! Did anyone else celebrate with your littles? Give me some ideas for next year ladies!!

Hallie and her playgroup friends had a mini Easter shoot with Miss Larissa at Purple Moments Photography yesterday! If you are in the Dallas area, please make sure to check her page out! She is so incredibly good with the kids and we end up with the most precious pictures! Plus, she is so so affordable!

Here are the cute pictures we got of Miss Hallie yesterday:

 Hallie’s Easter Dress- Smock It To Me

Larissa also caught a cute moment of our girls playing together before everyone arrived:

So please go like Larissa’s page, and if you are in Dallas book a session with her and tell her Hallie sent you!

This was the first photo we took! We didn’t realize how foggy my lens got when we walked in! It was so humid!

 After the conservatory and the rehearsal/ dinner we drove home to get some sleep. Then we were back in Fort Worth the next morning bright and early. Daddy went off to do his groomsman duties and Hallie and I went with one of the other wives to do some shopping and have lunch!

Of course I held Hallie the whole time during the wedding, so I have no photos, but I took plenty of Hallie in the gardens after the ceremony! There was a funny moment during the ceremony when it was really quiet, but Hallie saw her Daddy standing up at the front. She started waving her arms frantically and yelled “Dada!” at the top of her lungs…oops! lol!

Sorry I have been a bit MIA this week! My kids at work have been on Spring Break, and I have been soaking up the extra time on my hands this week by doing a whole lot of nothing! It has been so nice to just hang out with the baby and not have to worry about getting in the car by 2:20pm every day to rush to school! But I have missed my girlies for sure and can’t wait to see them on Monday!!!
Here are (some) of my favorite pics from our week at home!

 Hallie playing with the trains with “cousin” Brayden at the mall!

 2. Eating Brayden’s Nonna’s spaghetti! Hallie loved it soo much, she ate 2 bowls full! Not those bowls lol baby bowls! But still!!!

 3. Looking pretty in her new outfit from Auntie Anna and her pretty moccs!

5. Hallie hanging out in her sweats! We went on a walk yesterday with another Mom from our playgroup! It was so nice…although OMG this Momma is out of shape!!!

Daddy is in a wedding this weekend, so we will be busy with wedding events! Hallie has a pretty new dress picked out!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
