Halle at 8 months

8 months ago today Halle was born. We love this little girl so much!  She is so much fun and getting so big.

As you can tell by these pictures, Halle has a mouth full of teeth and a HUGE smile to show them off. She has seven teeth with the eighth just ready to push through. For a while she looked like a baby vampire - she got her "fangs" before her front teeth - it was so cute!

For my record, here are a few things about our little Halle girl:

She will eat anything and everything. Her new favorite food as of this week is Graham Crackers. 

Although she is 8 months old, she despises being on her tummy. She gets to her tummy and just screams until I sit her up...stubborn!

No one can make her laugh harder than her brother. She LOVES Ryan so much and just lights up when he plays with her.

She sleeps about twelve hours a night and absolutely will not be rocked to sleep. It is such a blessing that she can be screaming one second and soothing herself to sleep the minute you lay her down. Give the girl her pacifier and her blanket and you are set!

She is so tall; she is literally growing out her car seat. I am putting off buying a convertible one because she still sleeps so well in hers. 

We love her so much. How can you not love a face like this:

or a smile like this:

My Happy for today (this is number 76) is so simple yet so rewarding as a parent.  I am so Happy when I see Ryan and Halle playing together so well. Ryan loves that his sister is finally getting big enough to interact with him. He is constantly laughing at her, kissing her, and sharing his toys with her. 

This was tonight at dinner. Halle was laughing hysterically at Ryan.

 I love how excited they both are.  How can this sight not make you smile and completely Happy!
