She's a Big Girl Now!

So, Allie's latest endeavor is feeding herself. She is rapidly widening the number of foods she thinks she should feed herself, including spaghetti and rice casserole in addition to peas, carrots, etc. It's interesting, takes a lot of patience and gets VERY messy!

Allie LOVES football, music, animals and outside. She isn't shy at all. The other day, we went to a playdate with several other kids, some much bigger than her. She ran right in the middle of them and didn't seem concerned when they bumped into her. She only got upset when she realized she couldn't do all the stuff the bigger kids could do.

She has seven teeth and we can see white under the surface in a couple of places, plus her gums are quite swollen in a few other places. As history has shown us, that could mean a bunch of teeth tomorrow or another one in a month or so. Who knows?

She's definitely a "busy" baby. She's always doing something. She's rarely still and quiet. She doesn't walk when she can run. In other words, we're worn out!

She has a beautiful smile, a precious laugh and a mischievous glint in her eyes.













Game Day!



Uncle Justin and Aunt Tonya sent Allie the cutest stuffed rabbit that doubles as a radio. She walks around hugging him and swaying to the music. It's too cute!
