Now that she can move around Allison is giving us a run for our money! She's found the refrigerator grill/grate thingy (that's impossible to keep clean), the cat food and water dishes (she dumped the water and ate the food) that are now in the garage, and so many other no-no places. Oh well, she's so adorable she could get away with anything,
almost anything I should say!
Helping Mom with dishes
This keeps her busy (she also has her own Tupperware drawer)
Just being cute!
We went to a playgroup this past week. Allie had fun with a new friend, Addie, who is almost 2 months younger than her. They were even talking back and forth!
Allison is 10 months old! Holy moly...she is almost a year old. I'm planning her birthday party for goodness sakes.
Allie is growing into a big girl these days! She crawls like she's been doing it for years, and gets better at it everyday. She loves following me around the house and laughs hysterically when I crawl up to her and get her. She is even pulling up onto her knees. She's loving her finger foods like chicken sticks, diced veggies and fruits, and she's even had some cheese. She's not too fond of pureed food these days but LOVES yogurt. Her favorite food ever right now is banana, which she will just eat whole. She's doing pretty well on the sippy cup too, just doesn't know how to tilt it up yet. She's still talking up a storm but also loves to yell which is especially fun when we go shopping. Also, she is sleeping in her crib more often now! She takes naps in the crib - usually lasting 2-3 hours in the afternoon - and sleeps most of the night there too! Allison is so social and loves meeting new people...she will even wave bye bye!
This is the view we get most of the time when she is chasing after something!
I took these tonight - too cute to keep to myself! My little sweet pea!
And I think she's learned how to pull up... Look Mom no hands!
She just kept giggling, she was so proud of herself!
Allison has got crawling down now! She is fast too! Look at her go! Until about 1 minute in we are just hanging out and but she starts crawling during the last half.
Allison just lights up my heart! She is my baby and I love her so much!
Plus she is so adorable!
To Mike/Daddy We love you to infinity!
Playing with Hershey First Allie had it and then couldn't figure out why Hershey was playing with it!
Eating Lunch - She loves her finger foods. Today it was turkey, carrots, and grape juice!
And her new favorite hobby is pointing!
Her new trick - Mike taught her how to say touchdown! Now she does it practically on command. His new football sidekick is in the making.
Playing in her new walker. Yes, I know they are bad but she loves it! If that's the only way I can do dishes and make dinner, so be it! Then she can't crawl away!
Allison's a star! Here she is in our local newspaper, the Grapevine. My mom submitted her picture for Baby's First Christmas. Of course she's the cutest!
Allison learned how to share!
Sometimes she plays the syke game though and takes it back. Too cute!
Happy 2008! We had an awesome 2007 and hope to have a great 2008!
My parents hosted a New Years Eve party that was fun...Allie celebrated the New York New Years Eve and went to bed at 9:30 and Mike and I conked out at 12:10 but we made it!

Earlier that day, Allie was showing off her lizard tongue!
And look what Allie did today! She pulled herself up to her knees!
And her hair is getting so long I can give her a mohawk! Haha :)
Allison started stacking things this week. She figured out that she can put a ball inside the ring...she is so smart!
