Mike and Ashley Smith: May 2011

So here are more pictures of Halle... I'm sure it gets boring that all I ever post is pictures of her :) She is growing up so fast and I just want to keep her this age forever...even though I know each stage will just get more and more fun! She says so many words now and tries to say anything you point out or ask her to repeat. She especially loves all animals and pointing out cows and horses as we are driving around- I will try and get up video of her talking soon. She also loves to sing and dance! Its so funny to listen to her sing at church. And pretty much every time ANY kind of music comes on she cant help but move her little body! She is so sweet and we cant get enough of her... I also think she's is going to be such a good big sister because she is so sweet to her baby dolls and loves to hold them and feed them and give them loves :) Lastly, our BIG NEWS since last posting is that we are having a GIRL!!! I will be honest, at first I was a little disappointed, but as I thought about being able to use all of Halle's stuff over again, that the girls can share a room, and they will be best little friends I can WAIT for this other little girl to come!! I am getting SO anxious!! I know its going to be a little crazy making the adjustment from one to 2, but I am just SO excited, it seems like time is passing so slow and its forever away until she gets here! So we hope you enjoy some pictures of our little girl for now and since its FINALLY starting to warm up here in Utah we will be able to do some fun family things outside and get some fun pictures of ALL of us soon!

This morning Halle wanted to put on Mike's belt and it fit her perfectly (twice around of course) she thought it was pretty fun having daddy's belt on and i thought it was pretty funny :) She also LOVES princesses... she found this princess book at the library a couple of days ago and she reads it ALL the time since bringing it home.

Halle crunched a bunch of goldfish on our bed so she had to help daddy vacuum them all up... We were trying to teach her a lesson, so its a good thing she didnt see me laughing at how cute i thought this was

Halle's favorite animal both times we've been to the zoo was the giraffe! And she tries to say it and its so cute! This one got within about a foot and she thought it was so cool!

Fun at the zoo!! We went to the Zoo with Best friends Chelsey and Hadley last week and we all had lots of fun! Halle seems to like farm animals more at this stage- i think partly because she can get much closer to them so they are more real to her
