My little heart-breaker

We have had a busy couple of weeks, but they have been fun! Bill and Ruth drove down for a visit and stayed the 4th-9th. It was so good to see them again. They were amazed at how much Halen has grown and developed over the past couple of months. We miss them already, but especially Halen; they are such wonderful grandparents. We went to the beach in Wilmington for a day. The weather was really nice, but as you got closer to the shore, it got so much colder. Halen got to see the beach for the first time, but hopefully when we take him this summer it will be a lot warmer and he will enjoy it. Oh, I can't wait for those days, when he will be waddling on the beach playing in the sand :) Here are some pictures:

Halen is in there somewhere, all bundled up :)

Halen liked chewing on mommy's sunglasses.

Getting a pedicure! Halen was very interested in it all.

So here are some new discoveries for Halen...He has found out that he loves to scream. Not a mad, or upset scream, but a scream just to hear his own voice. He thinks it's so funny, me and Billy on the other hand, not so much :) It's almost as bad as listening to him cry...let's just say hopefully he starts talking soon. I keep saying mama and dada to him, in the hope that he will start to understand. He knows his own name, so now on to mommy and daddy's names. Such a funny noisy little baby boy!

He has continued to roll all over the place. Last week at Mommy's Group, he would start off right in front of me and end up all the was across the room. And he doesn't care who or what is in his was, he will roll over top of it, around it, or keep trying until someone moves the object for him. He's persistent :) We are still working on sitting up. He does really well holding himself up, but his balance isn't quite there yet. Oh, and he fake coughs a lot now. It's so funny. He will do it for like an hour straight. He sure is entertaining.

Billy leaves in 2 weeks for 3 months of training...booo. This time it really stinks because we can't have any contact during th 3 months...no calls, no letters, nothing. This will be my first true taste of being an army wife and I'm not to excited about it. But after he completes this phase, we will be one step closer to his graduation. Yeah! During those 3 months, Halen and I will be going back to Iowa for awhile. I think we will be leaving May 1st and then be coming back around June 15th. I am so excited to see family and friends. My sister, shout out to you Jord! Can't wait to see that girl. Oh and my crazy niece Kimber Ann, I love that little girl so much. My mom, my dad, Justin, Christopher, Chasidy & Abby. All of Billy's family. Oh and can't forget my wonderful friends! Amanda, Jordan, Jenn, Abby, Tara, Kati, and Kylie. I get so excited just talking about it! Can't wait to see you all!!!

One last thing, Halen and I went to church this morning with my friend Jenna and her baby boy Jax, and Halen went into the nursery during most of the service and he did great! I am so happy that I have found a good friend in Jenna! She is awesome and our babies are close in age so they can be friends too!
