Snow day!

Snow is falling, maybe we'll have a white Christmas this year!?! We are baking cookies and relaxing after a morning of swimming lessons and a visit with Santa! Looking forward to seeing all of our friends and family this Christmas!

Some recent photos

Visiting with Dean before Thanksgiving...

"Do you believe my crazy parents have me out here, alone, with no coat?" Not really, John was right there but I edited him out (not very well I know.)

Ally started swimming lessons...

Not feeling very well, lounging in the high chair!

Can I get under it the way Max does?

Is this ducky for me? No silly, it's for your "bun in the oven cousin"


Ally enjoyed meeting so many of her Aunt's Liz's nice friends!

Ally Sleeping Part 2

And now, the other side of the story :)

Ally Sleeping!

Here's a pic of Allykins while she's asleep - the hands behind her back is a classic pose of hers when sleeping, and we thought we'd share it. The flash didn't wake her up! :)

Really Walking!

Yesterday Allison started really walking. Here is a video, I hope it works!

Ready to go

Steps!!

Long overdue pictures of Allison's 1st Birthday

Allison had a great first birthday! She had fun sitting in her new chair, opening gifts, playing with new toys and hearing her family sing Happy Birthday over and over! At her first birthday well visit with the doctor, she weighed in at 24 pounds, and 30 inches in height. She has 4 teeth, two on the bottom, and two on the top. Two more on the top are almost there! Here's a few pictures from her 1st Birthday:

A few of Allison's favorite things...

Kicking her legs and playing with a remote control!

Look who is facing forward!!

Accidents Happen

I guess this is my reminder that it really wasn't a big deal when the container of cheerios fell on the floor and scattered....

John and I may have found a way to enjoy dinner together....

A few recent pictures

Big ice cream cone in Cape May!

The trolly tours are the way to see a town!

You want to take me on a Merry go What?

Maybe next year I'll enjoy this.

Getting ready to go to Grandma's!

I just forgot one thing upstairs!

Allison Playing

Kim, as always, I look forward to your feedback!

Last night Gram and Grandpa babysat Allison while John and I went out to dinner and a movie with friends. Here's some pictures from Ally's visit with her grandparents:

Ally at the Bay Beach

This time, Allison was crawling down the beach....maybe to get to a little boy. You can see how fast she is, and how narrow the bay beach is, so just imagine how quickly she could take off and be in the water... we couldn't get to the camera fast enough to film it!

Sooooo big at the pizza place...

How big is Allison?

SO BIG!




Also, here's Allison and Grandpa reading:

Allison Loves the Beach!

Allison has made two trips to the beach so far, and she just loves it! The first day she played in the sand, the second day she played in the sand, with a bucket of water, and she LOVED when John held her feet in the surf. What a water baby we have... here are a few of the photos!

Beach bum baby!!

Chillin on the boardwalk
