Four Months Old

On Valentine's Day, we headed out for Illinois. We spent the weekend in Mattoon, where Brian preached at a Saturday evening Valentine banquet, and all day Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church. This is Halle and her daddy at church Sunday morning.

This is the "tourist attraction" of Gays, IL (where the church was located). It's a two-story outhouse!
This is Halle sleeping on the bed in the motel room.

She looks so little on that big bed! Our room was very nice. We had a great time on our trip. It was good to reunite with some old friends, as well as make some new ones.
Oh my! Halle loves to play with her daddy

Flying high!

This is Halle watching hockey with Daddy. She is so funny....she has just started noticing the television, and she is very attracted to fast-paced sports, especially hockey! Daddy is loving that.

Last week, we went to visit my sister, Alicia, in West Union, OH. We were able to spend three days. We had such a good time. Here Halle is getting a kiss from Aunt Alicia.

Here she's giving one back! She really loves kisses. It's so cute.

I had to put this picture in. This is my niece Audrey. She got ahold of some scissors, and gave herself a haircut. This is her reaction after her mom and I came in and were horrified!

This is Halle and cousin Macey. I think they really look alike. You could see it even more if Halle was awake.

Last Saturday, we had a Lott family get-together. This is Halle playing with Gramee.

Here, she's reading a car magazine with Grampee. She actually looks interested!

Checking out Grampee's Pepsi.



Halle has cut two teeth since I posted last. She cut her first one on February 17th at 3 1/2 months old. I couldn't believe it! She cut the other one yesterday. She's been kind of cranky with them, but overall she's done pretty well.

She's such a little doll. I just have so much fun with her and the camera! She kind of gets entranced by the camera, and freezes when I get it out. It's getting a little better, but I'm very thankful for digital, or I'd have a lot of pictures with no smiles.

This is Halle mid-yell. She has a new "yelling" thing. It's so funny. I guess she's just discovered her voice, and is making the most of it. You can also see her tooth pretty well in this picture. The one on the right (more visible) is the one that has been in a couple of weeks. Right beside it, to the left, is the one that just broke through yesterday.

Halle and I went out for lunch yesterday with a friend. We had so many people stop by our table while we were eating to tell her what a doll baby she is. By the way, don't you love the boots?

This is my Halle girl most of the time....all smiles! She loves to be talked to, and just lights up when she sees Mommy or Daddy. We have so much fun with her.

Alright, last of all, this is a video we got yesterday. Halle has been laughing out loud for about a month, but this is the first time I've been able to catch her on camera. Enjoy!!!
