Fluffy Butt!

Allie has had the cutest little tush in the valley since we started cloth diapering! By the way, we love it! Gone are the days of pins and rubber pants and hello super simple cute prints!

Why are you taking a picture of my butt? Hi Mama!

Look at my pretty wool! I've mastered this milestone!

A recent fluffy mail delivery!


Playing with blocks!

She can now use both hands to grab something...a major milestone in baby land!




Meanwhile, she has been having a blast in her exersaucer.

She normally actually plays with the toys on it but today she just felt like jumping...

5 months old today!

I literally cannot believe it. 5 months sounds so old! I always say "when she was a baby" and she is still a baby! It is so crazy how time flies when you have children. Allison is developing into her own more everyday! She has her own personality, likes, dislikes, etc. It's amazing how they go from this boring lump to a baby full of energy and fun! She laughs when she thinks something is funny and smiles when she is happy. She prefers some toys over others. She grabs out for things she wants to touch - which at this point is everything! She is sleeping through the night (most nights) and loves napping with Mommy in the afternoons. She prefers veggies over fruits. She is also starting to know her name well. Before we know it she will be 5 YEARS old and starting kindergarten.

Paying Amage to Grandpa!

Allison loves her Grandpa!

Our cutie pie!

Allison is growing like a weed! Everyday is something new.

Here is her swimming pose - she will lay there with her

arms out and fuss because she doesn't like it.


Now she has learned to do this...

Up...and a little more...


Yeah!! (Now if she can figure out her legs she could learn to crawl!)

And she's almost sitting up - still falling forward a little still

Carrot face!!

This is what happens when Mommy doesn't use a bib since

she's getting a bath afterwards anyway...like it would've helped!

My fantastic, exciting new toy! (She LOVES this thing...thanks Karen and Anna Kay!)

Playing with Daddy (sorry for the red eye-PS gave Mike a black eye when I tried to get rid of it)

Our new car!

Bye bye cramped Jetta, hello roomy Outback! We got this 2006 Subaru Outback on Saturday after being inspired by Dad who bought one a few days before. I guess good taste runs in the genes! We love this car! So much more room in the backseat with Allison's carseat and a huge trunk so I can actually fit groceries AND the stroller back there, among other things. It drives great and has tons of power. We can even go to Tahoe in the snow without having to worry about chains!
