Hallie... the smile says it all :)

I told Brian the other night that Hallie's personality is so big and is bursting at the seams of her little body trying to get out! She is SOOO funny! She is usually very happy & "high-spirited" (like her name means) and then she also has her bout of 2 year old tantrums- which includes throwing herself to the ground if she is tired or doesn't get her way. Here are her favorite things to do lately:
-Change her clothes at least 5 times a day. ( I never understood this concept when one of my friends little girls changed outfits every day. I thought, why not be more forceful and tell her to keep her clothes on or she would go to time out.) I then had Hallie & learned that after telling her that for the 3rd time and she still changes clothes to just let it be. :)
-Wear Morgan's clothes, especially dresses with out any shirt on underneath.
-Run around naked or with her shirt off- once again, I try all day to teach her modestly and finally I just think- let it be- we'll work on that when she's older. :)
-say cute words like "HUGE" she pronounces it "Huoooooogggeee"
-Get into candy. I swear that girl can smell candy anywhere in the house. I catch her many times standing on top of the counter looking for her "potty" treat.
-Getting into things. The other day she found the sugar (picture) and realized how good it is. I tried to tell her that it wasn't very good and she looked at me and said, "It's not yucky Mommy! It's yummy!" I then explained, as she was scooping it out with her hands, that it was Daddy's sugar & he would feel sad if we made a mess.
-Hallie is very understanding. She knows when she is in trouble & will go and sit in time out. She is also mischevious & has a mind of her own. I will say to her, "Hallie, you can get dressed or go to your room for time out" her response- "I go to room for time out" :)
-saying, "Please Mommy! Can I have just one more"
-Trying so much to be like her big sister & big brother
-watch Cinderella & pretend like she is the princess. The other day she told me that she wanted to be Cinderella & Daddy to dance with her like the handsome prince. :)
-Having little "accidents" and at least 2 or 3 changes of underwear & still thinking she gets a treat when #2 did not make it in the toliet.
-Making us laugh
-Learning to pray & saying prayers by herself.
-Going in Landon's room and saying "Landon is awake!" As she climbs in bed & lays by him, even if he is still asleep.
We love our little Hallie. She is like a ray of sunshine. She always makes us laugh & is such a little sweetheart. She is going to make a big difference in life, and we're grateful she's ours.
