And just like that our Halle girl is FOUR! Happy 4th
Birthday to our sweet daughter! Here's what life likes at age 4.
• No change here…you’re still a really long lean girl! At your doctor visit, you were 42 inches (92%) and 36 pounds (62%). You had to get shots, but you handled them so well. You are always a great patient! Thankfully you won't need shots again until age 11!
• Since you're so tall, you were big clothes! Halle wears mostly 5T or 4/5 clothes and size 11 shoes.
•This year brought some sleep challenges after potty training and a big girl bed, but you’ve now settled back in and continue to be a fabulous sleeper! You sleep from about 8:00 pm to 7:15 am every night and we never hear a peep! You come out and go potty each morning and then go back in your room to play until 8:00 am. You recently got bunk beds and almost nightly request to have a sleepover with brother! Amazingly you still nap most days! I think our days are numbered, but you do pretty well with room time on days you don't nap. You usually nap for about 1 to 1.5 hours. You sleep with your “white blankie”, a water cup and an assortment of stuffed animals! You also listen to your radio as you go to sleep!
• You’re a pretty good eater and love to have “snacks” as you say! Some of your favorite foods are: whole grain waffles, cereal, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries, soup, cheese, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, pizza, tomatoes, and cucumbers. You also are pretty good at trying new things! And no surprise here, you LOVE dessert!
• Halle has big brown and blonde, curly hair. You wear purple glasses everyday and you love when people comment on them!
• It is hard to keep up with your social calendar! You LOVE your friends and think I should have a playdate planned daily. As much as you love your friends, I still think your brother is your favorite playmate. I love your sweet relationship!

• Halle is quite the chatterbox! You talk nonstop and
sing the few times you’re not talking!
•You are very
affectionate which Mama loves (and Daddy too), but also are very busy! I
don't think you are ever still except for sleeping.
• You love to keep your days busy! You loved MDO 2 days a week and have really built some great friendships at school. On non-school days we go on lots of adventures, but you hate when I say its an errand day. This next year will bring about big changes as Mama heads back to work and you’ll got to preschool 4 days a week this year.
•Your overall behavior has improved a lot this past year! We still experience some pretty dramatic moments, but you have learned to recover much quicker than you used to. I feel like you've grown a lot in this past year in understanding sad choices, sin, forgiveness, etc.
• Halle is a little sponge and loves learning! I'm a very proud Mama, but I can't believe all the things you know. This year you've learned to write your name and a few other words, find beginning and ended sounds in most words, rhyme a lot of words, and count really high!
• Some of your favorite things right now are: art projects, coloring, dancing, singing, playing games, music, Paw Patrol, Leap Frog videos, giving hugs, princesses, cats, reading books, and pretending.
We are SO proud of you and can't wait to see how God continues to grow you in the next year. What a joy it is to be your parents; we love you, Halle Lauren!
