hrmm...does daughter look like mother?
So I've gotten some kind of crazy bug today--I can't stop cleaning and rearranging stuff. I feel like I'm nesting again. We have had Hallie's pack 'n play in our living room since we have lived here and I finally put it away. Now it feels empty in here...in a good way though. I'm cleaning so much that I even dusted! For me, that's pretty crazy. I never dust...not to say that my house doesn't need it, I just never notice it which is weird? Anyway my house is CLEAN and it feels good. So while Hallie is taking a nap I decided I would sit down for a minute. I was rocking her to sleep for a little bit (because I never do that anymore) and I realized how big she has gotten in the past month. She is so aware of everything around her. She was just laying in my arms looking at me and she loves to put her hand on our faces to feel everything and this time she was touching my hair (and not just pulling it which she usually does). It was just like she wanted to feel it and figure it out. She's so sweet and beautiful. I can't believe how much I love her. And to think...God loves us more than that? I can't even comprehend it, but I'm so thankful that God gave us children. It's the most beautiful love.
Alright. It's official. Hallie is on her way to being a real-life princess. (or a gypsy as cathy would say) She has her ears pierced!!!!! Man, I was so nervous. The lady must have thought I was crazy! She looks so much like a little girl now, so if anybody calls her a boy again i'm gonna slap 'em. :) Just kidding. She is so pretty though. I can't believe we made her! I'm having way too much fun being a mom--what was I so scared of?
My grandma nonnie is funny with plants!

So this is the big rooster. I thought it deserved a photo shoot.
Wow. So i've been putting off posting a new blog because i've gotten so far behind! Maybe i'll split it up. Yes. This one will be about my trip back to Olney, IL. Woohoo for hometowns. In case you didn't know, Olney is home of the white squirrels and it's where I grew up. It's surrounded by cornfields and yes, we have Mcdonalds and Wal-Mart, but that's about it. It was just me, my mom, and Hallie and it was the first time anyone from home has seen the baby girl. It was fun. Not really too much exciting to write about but the pictures will tell all. OH and I got to see my Janey.
I knew I was forgetting something. Hallie rolled over! It was pretty incredible. Her first big milestone.
