One of those days

Today was a rough day at home with the kids. They were both really whiney...and it just gets to me after a full day of it. Ryan came home from work, we ate dinner, and cleaned up. Then Ryan, being the amazing husband he is, took the kids outside and I made cookies. They turned out awesome...thanks for the recipe dad Harris! I sat down and looked through the photos I recently added into iphoto, and couldn't help but love my children. It is hard to be mad with cute faces like these! So much for the bad day....it's a nice, warm, blue sky, clear day I guess I'll go out and enjoy it too!

I WON!!

So this news is a bit delayed because I've been at girls camp all week, but I won a drawing on the blog make it and love it. I won a $20 credit to the site Kayte Bug Boutique! They have a plethora of cute baby and mom stuff. I'm so excited to make my purchase so I can rave about how cute they are! Check out the sites-I just know you'll love them too!

She's 1!!!

Our little June Bug turned 1 on the 10th. We had a nice relaxing day at home, and a little party with just us Wednesday night. She was really happy all day long-which is kinda a big thing cause she has been SO cranky lately. She's had teeth coming in for a while, and she doesn't deal well with that. She was happy, took great naps, and played with Carson nicely. We got to have pizza for dinner then open presents, and eat cupcakes. She sure enjoyed all of that-it was fun to see her really dig into her cake! Here are some photos from the day

After the cake

At 12 months Halli is

• Walking everywhere. She doesn't crawl hardly at all anymore! She started walking at 10 months so she's had a few months to perfect it.
• Going up and down stairs on her own
• Saying a few words like: mama, dada, carson, bottle, bear, baby, ball, grandma, grandpa, and aubry
• She understands so many things, and amazes me each day at what new things she has learned to recognize.
• Giving hugs and kisses as she desires. She LOVES giving Carson hugs.
• Enjoying drawing-she likes to see the marks she can make with a pencil/crayon
• Bugging Carson like crazy! She love, love, loves to pick on him. He's a pretty good sport...most of the time.
• She has 5 teeth-3 on top, 2 on bottom
• Sleeping through the night!!! She goes to sleep around 7:30pm, and wakes around 7am.
• Eating table foods, and refusing any kind of baby food.
• Adorable!
