Toe & Heel- Check out those Hale feet!

Lower Leg & Foot- All the better to kick Mommy with!


Arm & Hand- Can we get a wave little one?

Lower Leg & Foot- Other side. Soccer player?

Arm & Hand

Chin, Nose, & Eye- Not her most flattering picture, but our cutie!

Chin, Nose, & Eye-The top of her head!

We can't wait to meet you little lady!

the Secret Beach

While Auntie Steph was here, Papa got guest passes for all of us to be able to go up to the Cape. He said there were a lot of "cool beaches" that not too many folks went to. We decided to make an adventure to find our own secret beach and a secret beach we found!

Far in the distance, there are two people. You can't tell though.

And the other way, no one to be seen. I love Secret Beach!

It was low tide, so I was ok with the water. Papa still held my hand though.

Ok, maybe it is a little cold.

Extreme baby close up!

Oooooo.....shells! Oh boy!

Papa and I decided to dig a hole.

Little feet!

Then our hole filled with water. I love splashin!

I am a big girl so I can dig my own hole.

Papa wanted to help though.

Me and Mama taking a warming break. I was cold.

Yummy, milk!

Me and Mama!

America's Next Top Model Baby!

Sand in the face. Yuck.

All wrapped up after a long afternoon at the beach.

A Few More Presents

It sometimes takes a while for things to get shipped, especially during the holidays! When we got back from the beach, we had more presents waiting for us! How fun! Cecilia is going to think every day is presents day!

What pretty paper....can I eat some?


Dig in Cecilia!

Thanks Chadwick's!

What is this? A little people SUV! How cool!

Cecilia, we have more...its the shiny paper.....

More presents!

All wrapped up! So pretty!

Thanks for the cool maternity clothes Hales!

To the Water!

It was such a warm day the day after Christmas that we all decided to take a walk on the beach. Sorry folks up north, we aren't trying to rub it in, we just couldn't resist the sunshine and warm weather! It turned into a little more than a walk though.....

Cecilia took to the water like a little fish....or one could also say dolphin!


Smile Papa and Cecilia!

Auntie Steph and Momma!

Our bathing beauty!

Oh what is this? Something I can eat?

Look at all the pretty shells!

Getting tuckered out....and a little chilly.

Papa's two lovely ladies!

Close up!

She might be cold, but she is still happy!

Cuddles with Auntie Steph!

Christmas with the Hales

This year we had a little Christmas with just us and Auntie Steph! It was so much fun but of course we missed being with our extended family and friends! For those who weren't with us, here are the snapshots for the day!

O Christmas Tree!
