Funny story about her 9 month checkup. She had to have her heel pricked to check her iron and also get a shot she missed at her 6 month appointment (the dr's office was out of the vaccine at the time). So we're leaving her appointment and she is happy as can be, blabbing away to her "imaginary friends" in the back seat (it's weird how much she talks when she knows no one can see her). All of a sudden she starts choking(not the scary call 911 choking, but the making funny noises choking). So I reach into the back seat and she has her BAND-AID that they had put on her leg from the shot in her mouth! Sick! So I grab it out of her mouth, she screams for a second and then carries on jabbering away. We had to stop by Home Depot and when Jon went to get her out of her seat... sure enough she had the band-aid from her foot in her mouth too! Ewwww, she's so weird.

.Fastest "crawler" (army crawl/standard crawl/slide/wiggle) she gets so into it it's hilarious.

.Loves to "chase" Josh around anytime she's with him, she loves her cousins.

.Books it away from Mom and Dad anytime we try to "get her".

.Still a dancing fool, Halle is all about it she doesn't even need music, she makes up her own and shakes it... (although if she hears ANY rhythm she goes crazy, anything from cd's to tv to little kids singing to her) .

.Hilarious when she starts dancing and clapping during hymns, we get some funny looks.

.Pulls herself up onto everything.

.Especially loves to climb all over me.

.Has no clue as to what stranger anxiety even is.

.Loves anyone that gives her attention.

.Waits for anyone she sees to look at her, then acts all coy when they do.

.Plays pattycake.

.Waves hi and bye bye.

.Give loves and kisses.

.Would much rather feed herself (this makes feeding time SO much fun)

.Such a little water baby.

.LOVES swimming, we're going to have to be careful with her she already loves to go under water.

.Of course still loves to take showers.

.Soaks the entire bathroom/anyone in it by splashing like crazy during bathtime.

.Went from having 0 teeth to 5 within 2 months.

.Everytime she wakes up from her naps, she sits/kneels so she can play peekaboo through the slats in her crib with you.

.Loves animals and is so excited anytime she is around one.

.Has major attitude, such a sassy little monster.

.Knows when she's done something naughty (like pulling on the shutters, smacking other kids, harrassing Jill and Scotts's cat Tux) and laughs when we tell her no.

.Immediately looks for Hobbes the second I get her out of her crib in the morning.

.So so so much fun at this age, we love how interactive she is with everyone.

(Don't mind Hobbes or how fat he's getting, which should be impossible for how nonstop he is! We put him on a diet. He pretty much hates us for it)
