Halle is now 8 1/2 months.  Time is flying by.  This has been a big month for the little munchkin.  Her second tooth popped through, so now she has two cute chompers on the bottom.  She has also learned to scoot!  It is so cute.  Daddy was home with her one morning and all of the sudden she started scooting across the floor.  He was amazed.  She uses her little arms to pull herself across the floor.  She especially loves scooting on the kitchen floor because she can go places FAST.  She scoots over to the door stoppers and flicks them to her heart’s content.  When she is done playing she will scoot over to me and tap my foot until I pick her up.

Also this month Halle has learned to wave.  She uses her whole arm in an up and down motion.  The first time she waved was to Grandma and Grandpa Cornell when Halle and I were leaving after visiting for a few days. 

Halle had her first sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa Cornell last weekend.  Mommy and Daddy to go to stay at the Anniversary Inn in SLC and see Sarah McLaughlin in concert.  We had a great time and Halle had fun spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and and her aunts and uncles.  Grandpa taught Halle all about lights and now wherever we walk into a romm she immediately looks up and points at the light.  If you ask her, “Where’s the light?” she cranes her little head around until she can see it.  It’s so funny.  Then she will point at it with one finger and coo.

And…I graduated.
