November, A Recap.

Well, this month really got away from me! I can't believe how quickly time goes at the end of the year.

Halloween was good at our house! We had the cutest cow ever.
We took Hallee to a couple of houses in the neighborhood. Andy dressed up as a farmer and walked with her.
By the time we hit the third and final house, Hallee had had enough! So we took her back home to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Hallee enjoyed seeing other kids in their costumes! She enjoyed helping us carve our pumpkins, too. She was a little leary at first, but eventually dug right in!



The first week in November, we decided to get Hallee's hair cut.
It had gotten really shaggy in the back. It was pretty uneven, so we had them trim the back up so that it was more one-length. I decided not to have her bangs cut. They really hang in her face now, but I think they'll grow out fast. They're already down to the end of her nose. Her haircut sure made her look grown-up!

Hallee had her 18 month check up this week. She weighs 27 pounds (80%) and is 33 1/2 inches tall (90%). This was the first time she was able to stand on the big girl scale instead of laying on the baby scale. She actually ran up to it and wanted to get on it. Unfortunately, she wouldn't stand next to the wall to get her height measured. So I had to make her lay on the baby scale for that. At that point she started crying and lost all trust in the nurse. Hallee didn't want anything to do with anybody. The doctor got to look in her ears, and that's pretty much it. It's a good thing they're used to kids! Four shots later, and we were out the door.

Hallee is growing up so fast! She is an awesome sleeper. She sleeps from about 9:30 at night until 10:30 or 11:00 in the morning. And she takes a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. (Have I mentioned how much I love that kid?) She tries to copy everything we say. She is adding more words to her vocabulary every day. She loves to dance. We have a nursery rhyme cd that we play a lot, but her favorite is Lady GaGa :)

Thanks for checking on us!
