Bathtime

Halle has now started taking a bath in the BIG bath tub and not in her little bathtub. I cannot believe that I am going to post her pictures because I said I wouldn't do it, but they are too cute.

Does she look scared?

Hey Mom!

My frog taste good
My duck too!

Okay So I Am VERY Behind

Well, it has been crazy around our house and I am just now getting to post our Christmas pictures of Halle. Darrin and I both woke-up Saturday morning with that mean stomach virus that has been going around and that put me out of commission for awhile. So, Halle LOVED opening gifts. By Christmas morning she was a really ole pro at it. Her favorite gift was her purse (of course) from Grandma Ann until she got a real remote control from MiMi Hynniman. So I hope you enjoy out photos. And I have lots of photos.

How does she know what to do?






Tea anyone?
Want to go for a drive?

Merry Christmas To All!!

I just wanted to wish all of my blogger friends and blog stalkers a wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am finally getting exited about Christmas! Christmas has always been my most favorite time of year until last year when my grandmother passed away. Christmas was always very big in our family and it was always because of her. She is missed dearly. So, Merry Christmas to all.

Sick,Sick and More Sick

Well, Halle has now officially had her first bout with bronchitis. She started with a fever last Friday afternoon. The daycare called me at work at 4pm and said she had a fever of over 100 degrees and we needed to pick her up. Well that was just the beginning of what I now know as a long weekend/week. She began with a cough and of course the good ole runny nose that lives at our house. So, Halle had a runny nose that we could not contain, fever of 100 to 102 with a cough that continued to get deeper and deeper into her chest. Anyway, by Sunday night we had already decided to take her to her pediatrician the next morning, but instead my wonderful sister, Nurse Dana, came over and listened to Halle's breathing. She thought that we should not wait until morning, but instead take her to the ER. We found out that there was two other kids in Halle's class that had pneumonia and we didn't want to take the chance of Halle getting it too. Anyway, so 3 hours, one shot, one prick to the heel, one prick to the finger and a CAT scan of the chest later we were home with a VERY sleepy baby. We then took her to her doctor Monday morning and for what I am not sure. Anyway, it is Thursday morning and she still has not been back to daycare. Darrin and I have been rotating days off from work. She is to have a check-up Monday morning and hopeful back to daycare she will go. So, that is my story for the week.

Baby It's Cold Outside

As we sit here in anticipation for snow, I just wanted to show some snow pics from my moms house. For those of you who don't know, my mom lives in Baytown, Texas, which is about 30 or so miles west of Houston. The snow in the pics are absolutely beautiful. I hope that Halle will get to experience the snow for the first time as well. Good luck to all of you fellow stalkers with the ice and snow as well.

8 Months Old

Well Halle is now 8 months old today. It is so hard to believe she is that old. It really has flown by. So, I was able to snap some shots of Halle yesterday morning before heading off to church in her cute little snowman dress. Thanks to Mrs. Angie for letting us borrow Taylor's dresses. She looked so cute and so grown. Her little shoes were to big, but I let her wear them until she kicked them off two or three times. She is getting so big.

Well Halle has now witnessed her first of many Christmas on the River's. Friday night Darrin and I attended the BBQ cook off while Halle stayed at home with Kaitlyn the babysitter. Saturday morning we were up bright and early cooking our sausage and cream cheese crescent rolls to take to Nana Lou's to watch the parade. We loaded up and headed over about 10:00 a.m. What a mess it was. Thanks to Andi for living so close to her mom, we parked in her yard and strolled over to Nana Lou's. We enjoyed visiting with all the Rogers and their families. I am posting pictures from the parade.

Halle and her dessert!

Well thanks to Halle's Aunt Dana she will probably be starting Weight Watchers with her mother starting in January. Wednesday night we went for a visit so that Dana could make us a new bow for our tree. Little did I know that Aunt Dana would feed Halle a cup of vanilla pudding and not just a couple of spoons, we are talking about the WHOLE CUP. As you can see above she did not just eat the pudding, she licked the cup as well as the foil off the top! And of course she got really pissed when we had to throw it away because there was NOTHING left. So Halle, baby, I am sorry, but maybe you will be receiving a membership to Weight Watchers as your stocking stuffer this year. Thanks Aunt Dana!!!!
