Halle is 18 months old!

Halle turned 18 months yesterday. I can't believe how much she has changed. She was pretty young back when we brought her home and now, barely 10 months later, she is turning into quite the little girl!


Halle at 8.5 months-ish...



Spring 2008....starting to wear pigtails and climb the stairs...


And now, 18 months old!! What is Halle up to these days? She is still learning new signs and using the old ones. Lots of times though she uses the sign and the verbal just in case we don't know what she is saying. When asked what her name is, she replies 'Halle Mei'. She is running and climbing everything. One her favourite ways to pass the time is to take a box out of the recycling bin and go around the house collecting objects. Last time I found a MiniWheats box containing a thermos, a block, two pieces of kibble and some crumpled paper. Halle is a fan of Barney and likes to watch him in the mornings while brushing her teeth. She LOVES the pool and now tries swimming and blowing bubbles. Halle loves music, singing and dancing. She picked up a few moves with the past season of So You Think You Can Dance. I would definitely classify her style as 'contemporary'. She is really starting to mimic everything and everyone around her so now we have to be extra careful. Halle is a sweet little girl, always willing to share her Goldfish or sippy cup with a friend in need. We don't want these days to end but at the same time we can't wait to see what she is going to do next. We love her to bits!!

Sophie has the same hat as the pool picture.

Are you back to work yet? I imagine that'll be hard. Did you find daycare yet?

What a neat comparison! It is amazing how much they will change in such a short time... wow, just thinking of it, Halle has been with you for half her life now!
