Halas is ONE!!!

I am super behind on blogging, I know. But I have lots of updates coming.  Halas turned one on July 30th! It's so hard to believe that our little smiley girl is one already- that year flew by so fast compared to Maddyn's first year.

We had a bear themed party- since that was all that seemed appropriate for our little Halle-bear ;)  It was lots of fun and the weather was perfect!  My friend Elysia made the cake- and just when I thought it wasn't possible for her to make a cake better than the castle one, she outdid herself again!! It was awesome!

At Hal's one year appt, we got her stats: She's smaller than Maddyn for sure:
Height: 30" (Maddyn was 32.5")
Weight:  22lbs 3 oz (Maddyn was 24 lbs 10 oz)

I'll be working to get her professional photos and her birthday photos posted to Shutterfly here shortly!
In the meantime- here are two quick teasers!

Birthday girl:

And a teaser from the pro photos I personally took this weekend (Aunt Janine- recognize this outfit?? Thought you might enjoy!!)

9 months old!

Our little Halle bear is 9 months old already! Time flies so quickly. I took her 9 month "pro" photos and just haven't found the time to edit them yet. We went on vacation to Clearwater Beach Island the first week in May and I have been on the road since then. It's been hard to find time to catch up.

Lots and lots of photos from Vacation and Hal's 9 month shoot are coming- so check Shutterfly soon. I'll try to do a few each night.

Some stats on Hal as she turned 9 months:
She had 2 teeth, but shortly after her 9 month bday she got 4 all at once on top!
She is shorter than Maddyn, but crawling by 9 months.
9 month Stats Hal: 19lbs, 12oz; 28"; 45cm  and Maddyn was: 22lbs, 6oz; 30"; 46cm
Loves swimming, smiles ALL the time, and is very relaxed/easy going
We just started finger foods with her mid-May, so that's been fun. She's still on her Prevacid for the AR, but it's been under control!

Here's two teaser photos from my 9 month photo shoot with her- more to come soon!
