Halle and I have been on the coast for over a week now and we are both doing really well. We are looking forward to the arrival of daddy tomorrow though. Halle misses him. I wouldn't give her her own way the other day and she asked for him. Too cute. Halle has made some leaps forward in our time here. She know days 'I don't know' and holds out her hands in a questioning manner. She has also been working on spelling her name with Nana. It's pretty cute. She has not reacted well to the black flies. Her bites are swollen and look infected. Does anyone know any remedies you can put on a 16 month old? Halle's hair seems to have grown since we've been here. I have to keep it pinned back out of her eyes which is a challenge. The other day I caught her chewing one of her hair elastics like it was bubble gum. Nana has been keeping her well fed and I think she eats more than me at a meal. A bowl of cereal and toast for breakfast, a glass of milk and fruit. Yeeesh! She must be having a growth spurt or something.
When Alan arrives with the laptop I will post some pictures. Halle had her first ice cream cone the other day. It was mildly amusing watching her get the last of the ice cream out of the cone. She loves my mom's little dog too. She hand feeds her whether the dog is hungry or not. She and Papa have BIG conversations at the dining table discussing the days events and sometimes what she says even sounds like English. She calls my sister 'Jay' and gives her big hugs. Halle is a huge fan of her Uncle Allan (yes, my sister is marrying a guy named Allan too. He loves shopping, talks just as much etc etc). He was playing with her on the couch in the livingroom and it was all belly laughs. He's a big teddy bear.
Saturday is 'the lobster feed' as they say out here. After we finish indulging and gorging ourselves, I will hopefully have some interesting pics!!1
