Halie's 1st Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! Most of the time the children wake up before the parents on christmas morning. Not my Halie bug. Brett and I were standing over her crib at 10:00 this morning. We were waiting for her to wake up. We were the kids waiting to open the presents. Halie has always slept in late. Any other time I don't mind, but today I was dying. Finally at 10:30 she woke up. We brought her in to our living room and thought she would open all the presents. We have had presents under our tree for a few days. The whole time they were under there she would not leave them alone. We kept telling her "no no", so I think this morning she was nervous to open any. All she wanted to do was play she wasnt interested in unwraping.
I was very jealous because my parents gave her a little desk that sings and reads stories. She has played with that toy more than any other toy she got. I could not wait to give her this doll house and she has barely played with it.
I forgot to mention that Halie thinks she is invinsible like her dad. They think they can do anything. She stands on toys, boxes anything she can. If she happens to fall over she never even crys. She is so tough.
After about 2 hours of playing with her toys she got tired and fell asleep. Which is very weird, because she never takes naps. She slept for about 2 hours.
After she woke up she was sitting with Brett and I told her to smile and this is what I got.

Finally She played with my doll house. I have waited all day. When I started working on getting dinner ready she started playing with the house. I was so excited!What a cutie!!!
Aunt Jackie and uncle Braden got her a sippie cup. If only you could hear the squeaky noises she makes with it. It has a rubber spout on it and she was rubbing it on her gums. It was hilarious. Once she realized that we were laughing at her, she started laughing.

Candy Candy Candy

Halie thinks she is a big girl, and that she can eat fruit roll ups with Brett and I. I give her little tiny pieces and she wants more and more. I had a piece on my finger and I looked away for a half a second and this is what happend. Halie attached her mouth to my finger. She sucked the roll up off my finger. Then she gets mad when you take it away. She thinks she can eat anything and I mean anything.

Ducks



Halie's new word this week is duck. Everything is duck. This week we took her to one of the many duck ponds we have here in sunny St. George. I think she thought she was in heaven. She kept saying "daddy duck" "papa duck" "duck duck duck". She was having so much fun.

Throwing A Fit Over Nothing

Who knows why she is crying. Halie has learned to that she gets everything she wants. Last week my grandma came to visit. We went to Costco and we made the mistake of going down the toy aisle. My grandma let Halie play with a toy, when we were done with the toy aisle we put the toy back and wow did she throw a fit. I was so mad. She cryed and arched her back, until my grandma said "oh I will buy if for her" as soon as she said that Halie stopped crying. It was turned off as fast as it started. She points at things and that is was she wants, and thats what she is going to get, according to her. What a stinker.

Being Naughty Part 2

Now Halie has figured out how to open the cupboards. I can't keep her out of my tupperware. I have to watch her every sencond or she is into something she should not be in.

Being Naughty

Today I was making lunch and I had left the fridge open because I was going back to get something else. When I turned around I found Halie in it. Playing with the coke. Even though I was happy to see she liked the coke I feel she is a little young to get hooked. I picked up my camera to take a picture I got one without her knowing then she turned around and knew she was in trouble. She knows if she smiles at me it melts my heart and I can't get mad at her. So she smiled with her hand over her mouth, so she wouldnt get in to much trouble. For the last couple weeks it is a race to get anything out of the fridge. Halie attacks when you open it.
