*First 2 months with halpal*

Well, we officially have survived our first 2 months with our hallie girl! 2 months already!? Where has the time gone! She has already changed so much I cannot believe it! It really does make me sad how different she already looks, but at the same time it is so much fun watching her starting to learn and grow!

Hallie's first month:

*February 2015*

-Sleeps 4 hr stretches at night -  Soothed by the vacuum, blowdryer and fan - jumps whenever daddy sneezes - wears "newborn" diapers and clothes - LOVES to cuddle, especially on our chest - loves hands up around face - overall a very happy happy baby! :) 

loves daddy time

and loves to spit up on daddy :) 

 

so daddy takes a break and goes to watch the jazz play :)

already a tar heel fan :)  

loves car rides and walks

can be so happy and awake at one moment...

and completely passed out the next!

we sure love this bundle of joy

 

i mean look at this face, how could you not?

Hallie's second month:

*March 2015*

-started smiling! - found hands and loves to suck on them - starting to find voice and "coos" - wears "0-3 month" diapers and clothes - seeing more and being more aware of surroundings - sleeping 6 hour stretches at night! :)

*Hallie*

Our sweet Hallie arrived on her due date January 15th 2015! ( 1-15-15, coolest birthday ever!)

3:26am

6lbs 9oz, 20 inches long

10 fingers, 10 toes

... and a whole lot of love.

I cannot believe how in love I am/we are! Hallie has changed our lives forever! I can't imagine NOT having her. She has been so patient with us as we have tried to figure this whole thing out. This has been a very challenging first 3 weeks, but I think we are finally getting the hang of things! All i know is when I hold her and look at her nothing else matters! She has already brought so much joy to our life, and I can't wait to watch her grow! 2nd grandbaby on my side and 1st grandbaby on Cory's, already spoiled rotten and showered with so much love. We love you Hallie!!!!

Get ready for pictures galore! :)
