Hallie - 18 Months (A little late)

Hallie turned 18 months on July 23.  She weighed 26 pounds, 6 oz (75%), her height was 32 1/4 inches (61%) and her head was 18 3/4 in (77%).  She continues to be FULL of energy all the time and is quickly learning how to handle her brother.  Hallie still adores her brother and simply can't get enough of him.  She always wants to play with him, pat his back, point to him and say "bubba" 24/7, and try to push him over, etc, etc. 

Her vocabulary is continuing to expand every day.  She will repeat anything you say, but it just doesn't always come out very clear.  She loves putting things up to her ear and saying "hello, hello", and she still loves to point to all of her body parts when asked where they are.  She repeats, "mama, daddy, and bubba" over and over and over again.  She still gets sooooo excited over milk, loves to have her teeth brushed, loves it when we sing songs, LOVES Mickey Mouse, and loves to clap and say "yeah" whenever she has accomplished something or does something right. 

She still is not a big fan of sweets.  Not sure where that came from, as her daddy and I both LOVE sugar.  She does like ice cream!  She still refuses to drink apple juice and water mixed together.  Therefore, she only drinks milk and water, and she would much rather have her milk!

Baby girl enjoys books, a lot!  After reading her a story, she will promptly shut it and then throw it back at you requesting that you read it again, and again, and again!

Every time I turn around this child has a new bruise from falling, or hitting a toy, or hitting her head, etc.  She is my wild child, and it appears she is going to be quiet the daredevil. 

 

Her hair is growing like a weed.  It is fairly curly in the back. 

 

She has taken a new love of her baby dolls.  She will turn them over, cover them up and then proceed to pat the babies back as hard as she possibly can. 

 

 

It is hard to believe that she will be 2 in several months.  I feel like time has gone by so fast with her and slowed down with Pierson.  We sure can't imagine life without this wild one!  She brings so much joy to our family!
