Halie at four months!

Halie at six months!
I just can't believe my little Halie is turning four years old tomorrow! Where has time gone? I don't even feel old enough to have a four year old!! (if that makes any sense?). Just one year away from going to Kindergarten. WOW! It still feels like yesterday when she was born. Halie was born on Friday, February 7, 2004 at 12:40 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 19 inches long. In August of last year, she weighed in at 41 lbs. and 39 1/2 inches. What a difference four years makes huh? Either that or she just eats really good!
A lot has happened in her four years here on earth. Let's see....We've moved 5 times, including a big move to Port Orchard, WA. She has seen Santa four times, she was a ladybug, a lamb, a rabbit, and a fairy (well, for Halloween anyways...), been to the dentist twice, doctor a lot (for shots, & two ear infections), and hospitalized for 2 days this past December with Croup. She became a sister when she was 2. She joined gymnastics and preschool when she was 2 1/2. She was the flower girl in my wedding when she was almost 3, which is when she had her first dance with a boy! She continues to go to preschool, a

nd is in a gymnastics group aimed at preparing her for competitive gymnastics by the age of 6, and she started clogging in Sept of last year. And this March she is preparing to join beginning soccer. What a busy little girl!!! She loves being involved in activities and it sure seems to help with her behavior. (I feel like we are still going through the terrible two's :) )
On a sappy note....I can't imagine my life without this girl. She has quite the personality. I say its a mix of diva, anger, & stubbornness. But she has these big brown eyes that just pierce my heart all the time. I have spent so many wonderful times with her and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for her. She is so talented. Lately I have been so impressed with her desire to "color in the lines" and how wells she can write her name (It's even legible, believe it or not!)

So for her birthday tomorrow, we are going to do photo shoot with our favorite photographer, Jenn Olson. I am way excited, and Halie seems to be pretty pumped up about it too. So I will be posting pics from the shoot sometime in the next couple weeks. Halie will be having a party with her friends on Saturday at the gym! What a spoiled little girl! Happy 4th Birthday Halie Saige!
I love you!!!
