10 Months

Hallie's 10th month was quite eventful! She was dedicated at church on February 20th.  I was very nervous that she was going to get up in front of the church and scream, but she was actually really good! We took some puffs with us and she happily ate her puffs as we waited in line.  I gave her one as we went up on the stage hoping that would be enough until he got off the stage.  Nope, I was wrong.  She grunted at the container a couple of times so I had to pop one in her mouth so that she didn't pitch a fit for it.  Of course the camera was zoomed in on us with our picture displayed as a close up for the congregation who all laughed as we shoved puffs in Hallie's mouth. Nice, I know!  Here are some pictures of dedication:

 Notice where she is looking; you guessed it, her puffs!!

"What is everyone laughing at??"

We also went to the beach for spring break while Hallie was 10 months old.  She had a blast! She loves being outside, so the beach is definitely the place for her.  She sat under an umbrella and played for the longest.  The night that we got there, she cried if we even went near the pool.  However, the next day she seemed a little bit more relaxed so we put her in her little float and she absolutely loved it!  She would just kick and kick and splash water all over herself just laughing the whole time.  I know she will love the pool this summer.  Her are some pictures from the beach trip:
