Growing like Weeds

We have had an eventful three weeks here. I have been meaning to sit down and make a post for quite some time, but just can't seem to remember to do it when I sit down at the computer after the children have gone to sleep. Here I am tonight though finally getting it done!
Halli has been moving around like crazy. Three weeks ago she finally got the real crawling motion down, and has been finding her way around our apartment since. She comes and finds me when I leave the room she is in...most the time crying after me, but it is cute all the same.

The same day she learned to crawl she also finally sat herself up. She had been almost there for so long, but has definitely mastered that in the past 3 weeks. On my birthday (Saturday the 24th) she pulled herself to standing for the first time. Then the following Monday she got her first haircut. I finally decided to just take off those few remaining long hairs on the top of her head. Carson and Ryan also got haircuts that day...or as Carson says "a shortcut!". So since I had the clippers out I took them across Halli's head too. Here is a cute photo of all the shortcuts.

A couple days after the haircut Halli's second tooth finally broke through after about a month of teasing. So I am pleased to say, after all these accomplishments, she is finally a happier baby! (At least for now). These past couple of days she has been so much happier- playing on the floor, not demanding that I hold her all day, not chasing me around the house crying, sleeping better, and playing with Carson more. They love to be together. I love waking up in the morning and watch them say hello and smile at each other-it is the sweetest thing in the world.
We have been enjoying the nice weather we have had here. Saturday was such a perfect day-mid 70's, sunny sky, and a slight breeze. We went to the zoo this weekend with some friends and enjoyed getting out of the house. It's been a busy couple of weeks, but tons of fun!
