Picture Day

Well, we took Halen for pictures today. We went to a new place. Portrait innovations, in front of Lakeside Mall. I have to say that of all of the places we have been, I like them the best. We got great quality pictures, a lot of pics for the price and the girl who worked with us was wonderful. Halen was more interested in running around at first, but we managed to get some excellent photos. We ended up with 13 sheets of pictures! We also ordered our Christmas cards too.

This is the picture that we used for the card.

I love this one of his face close up and the one with the teddy bear!

I want to also add that Halen has some new words.

What's new with Halen ...36 words and counting

Hello all. Can you believe that Christmas is just 6 weeks away? I am excited about Halen's first big Christmas. Although I think that next year will be the one that HE is most excited about. I have already started shopping for him. I can't help myself. I even taught him to say Santa.

2. Mama
   
3. Doggy
4. Eat

He learns something new every day it seems. He loves to read books and for me to read them to him. He also LOVES his baby einstien flash cards. That is how he knows a lot of his words. He could sit forever and look at them.

Halloween Pictures

I finally got the film developed from Halloween!!!

The itsy bitsy spider

Eating My Kit Kat, spider Halen & Chloe Dog!!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year!

Aunt Cathy, Aunt Anita & Uncle Carlos came over for pizza. They passed out candy while we trick or treated.
We only went to three houses in our neighborhood. Halen ran the whole time. We went next door to Walt and Bonnie's first. Their dog Chloe and Halen are best buddies. Halen was so excited to see her and just let himself in their house to go see her. He went back to the door 3 times for more candy too.
Later we went to our friends Bill & Renee's house. We got to see Tyler dressed up and some of the neighbor's kids too. Scott and Tania stopped by with Julia. She was such a sweet lamb. Halen's first really big Halloween (for us anyway) was wonderful! I will have more pictures soon. The few here are from only one camera. I have to get film developed yet.
