Summer Time in NC!!

Summer is officially here. They're calling for highs in the 90s today! Allie LOVES being outside! Whenever she's fussy, all we have to do is take her outside and sit her on her blanket or put her in her pool or just walk around with her.

We bought her a little pool last weekend. She enjoys it and is looking forward to having some of her friends over to play. We also took her to the park for the first time, and she LOVED the swings!! When we first put her in she giggled and giggled and giggled. It was so cute!

We go to the doctor on Wednesday for Allie's nine-month appointment, so we'll post some details then. It will be interesting to see how much she's grown in three months! Also, she'll be nine months on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy a few summer pictures:

A Happy, Happy Girl

Allie is a very happy and active youngun'! She loves to play, go outside and attack her Daddy. One of her new favorite things to do is to take everything off the shelf in the kitchen, especially the phone books (which she is slowly but surely destroying). She likes to be wherever Daddy and Mama are, which can be a challenge when they're both trying to get work done around the house.

It's hard to believe she is eight-and-a-half months old!! Time flies!

Eight Months Old!!

It's hard to believe Allie is already eight months old! She is very active, curious, smart, funny and cute! She has SIX teeth--four on top and two on the bottom. She has the sweetest smile--it can light up a room. Her favorite thing to do is play outside. She loves meeting new people and being the center of attention (as we saw when we went to our first care group meeting at the church we've been attending).
We're not sure exactly how much she weighs or how long she is since we haven't been to the doctor since she was six months old; but she has definitely grown since then! Next month, we'll post an update on that after her appointment.
As Joy has been starting her photography business, she's had more opportunity to take portraits of Allie. Below are a few of our favorites from a couple of May shoots. Enjoy!
