Feb 2010 in review

I have many mixed emotions right now. Feb. has seemed to be a very challenging month. 1- My grandma is in the hospital (ICU) and it has taken it toll it seems on just about everyone. she is so loved. She is a fighter and i believe that she is fighting. She was stable enough to do an operation, which is good new- so we are all praying and hoping that she pulls through this. My grandpa is such a wonderful strong person, I would be a reck if i was in his place. 2- I also have been emotional about see my baby grow up. I look at Hallee now and see a toddler instead of my little baby. She no longer will stay in her crib, she is a gymnast of sorts and can climb in and out at will. So we moved her to a big bed. (I almost started to cry, being a mom turned me into a huge baby). I hate that they grow up so fast. Yesterday was her first nap on her terms. She did finally tucker out but instead of her bed she decided to nap on the floor. But last night she sleep just fine in her big new bed. I half expected her to come down the stairs to my room in the middle of the night; But she didn't she slept just fine in her big bed. 3- I feel like my 28 month old is going on 12 year old. I was shaving my legs this morning. Hallee came up to me and said Hallee wants to shave her legs too. I just started laughing. Shaving legs better be a good 10 years down the road. Our little family-Ben and I trying to teach Hallee how to pucker for the camera. I thought it was a really funny picture. We did get a way for a three day vacation of sort. We visited my big brother and his family-Addy celebrated her birthday while we were in town. Addy is 4 months younger than Hallee, and they are completely opposites. Addy is a complete girly girl, wants her hair and nails done. Addy plays by herself, sits quietly, is a shy girl. Hallee is loud, a tease, loves to make people play with her and Hallee would rather pay in the mud and get dirty. Total opposites, but they play wonderfully together. Dallin & Hallee waking Kenzie up each morning with a couple of body slams. Of course with my help, I couldn't let them have all the fun to themselves. Hallee & Addy playing together. Hallee playing guitar hero-She was on the drums with Ty & Kenzie on the guitar with Dallin singing, I have to admit Dallin is amazing, he has the word memorized. He is only 5 and can out sing me. 4- Hallee is so independent, she does not ever need my help. My little girl tells me every day this phrase "I can do it all by my self." Yes so i have tried to stop asking if i can help her. Here Hallee is painting her own nails. (don't worry it is kid finger nail polish). Yes my 28 month old is going on 12 years old or so it seems. How much I love my little family. Ben is the best hubby i could ever ask for and Hallee keeps me on my toes and I wouldn't have it any other way.
