It's Official

Halli is walking!  I can't even believe how big she is, and how fast she has learned to walk around.  She took her first steps on April 4th, and has been working so hard over the past month to perfect the skill.  While we were in Utah she walked back and forth from couch to couch so many times.  Since we've come back home though she has been walking circles around the couch.  It is so funny to watch her.  She likes to hold something while she is walking around-whatever she can find to pick up.  She will just walk around and around the couch though-I think just because she can.  She actually stood up on her own without using anything on the 29th of April so I figure she has been officially a walker for a couple weeks, but I haven't had time to post about it.  Just like her brother, she's a walker at 10 months! (As of Sunday though she is 11 months old...almost 1!!!!)

Other Halli news-she has 5 teeth as of this morning.  She got her 4th on Sunday, and her little canine came through during the night...which is probably why she woke up like 10 times.  She loves all the stairs in our house.  She is really good at going up, but not so good coming down yet.  She is wearing 18 month clothes now, but has been in them for a couple months because she is just so tall.  She had a major growth spurt from 7-9 months.  I think she'll stay in these clothes for a while though...at least I'm hoping.  It sure is expensive to maintain a wardrobe for her!  Lastly, I put her hair in little piggy tails for the first time yesterday.  They only stayed in a couple hours, but her hair is getting long enough to do things with so I'm really excited about that.  A couple more months and I should be able to do whatever with it!  Little short piggies are about all we can do for now though.
