Halle Reese Hergenrader

As you can see, a lot has happened since I blogged last. Halle was born on August 17th 2010. She was 7 pounds even and born at 5:33pm. Everything about Halle has been fast. Labor was only 33 minutes!

We are SO glad God does not follow OUR plans. Halle has brought our family so much joy. I'm sure you'd agree, you just HAVE to smile when you look at her. We all love her so much, and each in our own ways. Daddy makes her smile by being silly. He loves to tickle her chunkiness. Hannah has become Halle's own personal chauffeur. She will just pick her up and take her anywhere. Hannah especially likes to carry her around her school friends, it makes her feel so special and mature. Halle just loves going with her big sister. Hudson loves Halle's head the most. He literally CAN'T stay away from it. It's like his own personal warm, soft, smooth, fuzzy, Blarney stone, and he is always patting, kissing, wiping, or rubbing it! That may explain her lack of hair. Halle's been a snuggler from the beginning and I love this about her. Sometimes when she wakes up at night I can just touch my hand on her face and she'll rub against it and fall back to sleep! I prefer to use my own cheek though. :) My excuse is that she's my LAST baby.

Now that I'm blogging again, you can look forward to future posts about the first 9 months of Halle's life, Hannah in kindergarten, Hudson being Boy, and Jared and I trying to keep reigns on life.
