Halle's Birthday Party

We didn't throw a big party for Halle's birthday. Sheldon and I were actually gone on a trip the weekend of Halle's birthday, so we just made some cupcakes the following weekend. February has ended up being a crazy, busy month. Tucker was a big help making the cupcakes and licking the beater. Somehow, I think more of the batter ended up on his face than in his mouth.

Opening presents! Of course like most kids, half the fun is just ripping the wrapping paper. This is her favorite book right now. She loves finding the dog and pointing to her head after reading the page where the girl stands on her head.

Halle did a great job at eating her cupcake. She is not afraid of messes like Tucker was and it was probably my fault that Tuck didn't like messes. Since he was my first I fed him all the time, but Halle is really good at feeding herself. 

Her Cheese face, squinty eyes! 

Halle Jo Mills - 1 Year

I know I am so behind on doing a birthday post for our sweet Halle Jo, but I still wanted to give her a post. I still can't believe she is one, this year has really flown by. Halle has brought so much joy into her family. She is a good little buddy for Tucker and always has a smile ready for us when we need one. Halle has really started walking everywhere this week and loves, loves climbing on everything. Stairs are her favorite and she loves going up and down. She definitely has begun to get some attitude, probably gets it from her dad ;) Sometimes if she doesn't get what she wants she will throw herself down and roll around on the ground, it's kind of cute. She loves reading books and has a book with a dog in it that is her favorite. She tries to make a woof woof sound, but it is more of a grunt. Be prepared for picture overload of Halle! I think it is always fun to look back and see how much your kids change in one year.
