Wow wow wow...she's almost a year old! Allison is becoming such her own person. She is hilarious and cute and smart and...okay, enough mommy bragging but we just love her so much! She has officially said her first word! Although it was hard to tell because she has been saying mama and dada a lot but we did not think she meant it until recently. She looked me straight in the face and said "mama"...OMG...talk about your heart just completely melting! She also says "baba" for bottle and "nana" for banana every now and then. Another exciting thing is that she is starting to sign - or her own versions of the signs anyways. She knows more and all done! She also pulls herself up onto her knees and sometimes onto her feet for a second. She crawls everywhere, following me around the house, and getting into everything - she is such a curious baby! She waves hi and bye-bye and points to anything and everything. She will point to quite a few items when named like banana, kitty, TV, mama, dada, Grandma and Grandpa, etc. She knows how to brush her hair and points to her hair, nose, and feet (piggies) when you ask her where they are. Allie loves hanging out with Grandma a couple times a week and going to our new playgroup. My favorite part of the day is when the three of us wake up in bed together - that is my slice of heaven.
Being a daredevil
(yes I was RIGHT there!)
Getting ready for bathtime!
Being silly! She loves emptying the Tupperware drawer and sucking on empty sippy cups and bottles.
If you look in the background that is Allie's pan and wooden spoon. I keep it on the bottom shelf so she takes it out and starts banging. I may need a Tylenol afterwards but it lets me do the dishes!
Us at our playgroup today. We went to John's Incredible Pizza in Roseville! That place is awesome! It is described as Chuck E. Cheese on steroids. A huge buffet, themed rooms to eat in, a huge play area with rides and games, and there is even a baby/toddler area (behind us in the pic). So fun! Highly recommended to anyone who is or has kids between the ages of 1 and 20+.
And last but not least, a video - playing with magnets and chattering up a storm!
