New Halle pictures

She may not be ten pounds yet, but she is a whole lot cuter!

Hospital Photos

Ok, so the hospital photographer came through yesterday, and the pictures came out great! We weren't going to have them take the pictures because we worried that they would be ridiculously expensive, but it actually didn't cost much to buy the rights to all the files. So, here are the highlights.

Halle Susan Snyder

3-7-11

Halle is here.

She was 18 inches and 6 lbs and 7 ounces. She has lots of light brown hair and the same grayish blue eyes Gray had when he was born. She also has long toes and fingers with long nails.

It's a girl!

Gray's ABCs

Halloween

OK, Gray's second Halloween went off without a hitch! We think he was the world's cutest bee! We went down South so he could hang out with his cousins Maleigha and Teegan (aka Lisa and Maggie from The Simpsons!!) Gray said "Treat" in place of "Trick or Treat" and he said "Thank you" at every house! Next year, however, we will work on saying these things audibly.

Halloween sneak peak

We tried on the bee costume last night, so here is what he will look like tonight. He also loves his yard work.

Gray's first phrase

Gray's hobbies

Gray's activities have lately included drawing with chalk on every outside surface, playing hide and seek in the coat closet and almost anywhere else, always playing with the vaccuum, and pulling weeds, and sometimes flowers, for daddy.

Today's lunch

Gray has refused to eat watermelon cut up into chunks. But he has been devouring large pieces of watermelon with the rind left on.

Summer fun

The teddy bear sitting on the piano bench has become Gray's best friend in the last three days. He now goes everywhere with him.

OK, there is no doubt who the cutest guy in America is...

Yeah Memorial Day.

Our internet is working so here are a few quick pics from Three Lakes. More to come!

More lake photos

Here are a few more highlights: Lindsay and Gray on the pontoon ride in the high seas, a butterfly from the indoor butterfly zoo, Lindsay and Kristin's birthday cake, a blue heron walking on the dock at our resort, and a hypothetical picture of what the lake would look like without 30 mph winds.
