Halle-isms

While riding in the car ~
Halle:  Momma, you need to let it sing by itself.
Me: What are you talking about?
Halle:  The radio.

My mom saved my Cabbage Patch dolls along with all of the clothes my grandma made for them just in case I had a little girl that could play with them.  Well, recently my mom took them out of the attic and cleaned them up for Halle to play with since she is now into babydolls.  There are 4 Cabbage Patch dolls, a redhead, a blonde, a brunette, and a bald one.  When mom asked Halle what she was going to name them she replied, "Orange, Yellow, Brown, and Baby Bald."

This one requires some background info....My parents have a crazy dog named Rocky who has to be on Doggy Prozac which he is given every morning wrapped in a piece of chesse.  Rocky is also deathly afraid of thunderstorms and therefore needs Benedryl to calm him down which is also given to him in a piece of cheese.  Everytime it rains, Halle (my little animal lover) worries about Rocky being scared and needs to be assured that someone at NanaPoppy's (my parent's house) is taking care of him.  This morning during the bad thunderstorms, Halle came to me and said, "Momma, I bet Rocky is scared right now.  I think he needs a piece of cheese."

6 Months

I can't believe that baby Cole is already 6 months old.  It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready to go to the hospital to welcome him.  He is growing so fast too!  He weighs 18lbs 8oz and is 27 1/2 inches long which is way bigger than Halle was at 6 months - it is actually bigger than Halle was at 9 months!  Cole has been doing very well with his solid foods.  He is now eating oatmeal, rice cereal, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, sweet peas, and green beans - definitely not a picky eater.  He is also pretty much sitting on his own and is starting to scoot around.  He hasn't figured out how to go forward, but is surely moving pretty fast backwards!  Cole will push up onto all fours like he wants to crawl, but can't coordinate the movement of his arms and legs.  I know he will figure it out very soon.  I am still convinced he will walk very early...he loves walking around while you hold his hands and can maneuver that walker like a champ!  I am so thankful that God has blessed us with such a wonderful son!
