She is AMAZING- She brings us so much joy and so many laughs! I tell her all the time that I could eat her up. Funny story: The other day at my dr. appointment I told her that we were going to hear the baby's heartbeat, so the whole time leading up to it, she was walking around saying, "baby heart, baby heart" and shrugging her shoulders! Then the dr. let her turn the doppler on and she heard it and grinned from ear to ear. As we were leaving, she was holding the paper and saying, "baby heart, baby heart!" and then showed all the ladies my paper. Such a happy little girl!
Here are some pics of her "shopping" (Thank you Kyley for the sweet purse! HattieJo loves to carry it around with her)
Please continue to pray that we will be the parents that HattieJo needs, that the Lord will continue to give us wisdom as we raise her and point her to Him. Also, pray for HattieJo in the upcoming weeks as the time for the baby's arrival comes! Pray that she would transition smoothly!
The other day I was doing laundry and HJ asked to ride in the basket, so I put her in it and attached Andrews belt so that I could pull her! She had the best time. After the got out, this is what she was doing, "push baby, push baby." Don't worry I told her she could only do that with baby dolls not with her baby brother :) 
*warning the next two posts she is in the same attire! they were all taken on the same day!*
HattieJo loves the bed, she likes to get on our bed and wrestle with Andrew all the time! So when Andrew's parents brought us a crib mattress, she had a ball playing on it. She would roll all around and her favorite thing was to get a ball and sit on the bed and throw it off to me or Andrew. It's the simple things in life that entertain :)
Last Sunday we went and had Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast! YUMMY!!! We let HattieJo pick out the donut that she wanted and of course she picked the chocolate iced with sprinkles... she LOVED and savored every bite that is for sure. 
Last Sunday night we(HattieJo and I) loaded up in the back of the truck and headed across the street to go fishing! It was SO STINKIN' FUN! Andrew caught us a bunch of brim to put in a bucket for HattieJo to play with. She wasn't a fan of touching the fish, but she loved splashing in the nasty fish water... the best part was when I looked over and she had her hand in our bread bag chowing down! At one point she tried to eat the bread that she was "feeding" to the fish in the bucket. It was a blast...LOVE my family and am so thankful for these fun memories we are making.
