Hallie and David have a great relationship, she is always running over to David and getting him laughing and squealing for her. One of my favorite things is when Hallie asks to hold baby D, it makes her happy, and David is a champ about it.

I thought everyone would appreciate this video as much as we do. Hallie loves her fruit snacks, I don't think a day goes by that she isn't begging for her "boot snacks". Matt captured this priceless video of Hallie just after a shower begging for some fruit snacks or as she calls them "boot snacks".

Baby Achievements

David has just started to pull himself onto his knees. It is very exciting for us because Hallie as a baby never really went through the step of getting on the knees and rocking. He is really fun to watch, because every day he gets better at it and I know it won't be long before he starts to crawl.

Hallie is learning the words to songs now. It is the cutest thing to watch her sing, and out of the blue she will start to sing a song that I didn't even know she knew the words to. Like the other day she sang I am a Child of God from start to finish, I was astounded.

I took the kids to the "This is the Place" monument and we had a great time. Hallie loved the ice cream cone she got and had a great time riding on the train. She loved it so much that she did not want to get off when the ride was over. They had an area where the kids could go and pet baby animals, and Hallie really liked that. She really liked the baby lamb, and the bunny. Her favorite by far was the ride on the pony, she was literally giddy. She was so excited to ride the horse, that when it was over she pointed at the horse in front of hers and said she wanted to try that one now. If it hadn't of started pouring down rain, I would have let her do it again, but it got way too cold.

Learning to Scoot

David is so cute, he is just learning how to scoot. He has been scooting himself into some pretty funny spots lately, and because he can't move forwards yet he is stuck until I move him. A couple of days ago, he was scooting a lot, and I had gone into the other room for something, when I came back he had backed himself half way under the couch. Hallie thought it was pretty funny too, she even tried to join him under the couch, but she did not fit. She is such a sweet big sister! Later that same day, Matt came home so I started making dinner and I heard David making some noises, so I went to check on him but I couldn't see him anywhere, so I followed the sounds and found him around the corner of the couch, behind his car seat playing with the diaper bag. It made Matt and I laugh, but I think David will be a much happier man when he learns how to scoot forward.

We got together with friends of ours and took some family pictures. We went to an old part of downtown Bountiful that had some really classic fun places to shoot. I really like how the background of the photos not only are interesting, but also will give us some historic value. David was a little tired, so unfortunately we weren't able to capture his fantastic smile, but Hallie had a great time.

Getting started!

Matt and I have never been much for keeping in contact, but as we are starting to get older we are beginning to realize that there are a lot of people out there that we miss and want to keep up with so this is our attempt to keep in touch with those we love.
