Smiling
More pictures from dinnertime (two separate nights). Again, Allie requested that her picture be taken. (I did put the camera away to avoid anymore photo shoots during our meals.) And just so you know she was squinting like that on purpose. Guess she thinks it looks good!
Dinnertime
Allie noticed the camera on the counter this night and insisted that I take her picture. She loves to say "cheese"! My baby is turning into a little girl!
1/2 Marathon
Amanda and Mitch were in Phoenix to run the PF Changs Rock 'n Roll 1/2 Marathon. They both did great. Unfortunately Mitch was on the opposite side of the street so I couldn't grab a photo of him. I'm publicly announcing (well, at least to anyone that reads this) that I will be joining Amanda next year in this race. Please hold me to it!
Trip to the Park
The same day as our zoo trip we went with Aunt Amanda to the park. Amanda was nice enough to give me a break and make the trek up and down the slide with Allie.
Another Zoo Trip
The three of us enjoyed our monthly zoo trip in January. Good thing I'm posting these pictures because we're headed there again tomorrow. Allie just can't get enough of the animals.
Who needs toys...
when you can play with a plastic container instead. Allie has spent hours playing with this thing. I've certainly received my money's worth from it.
Yay! New Pictures - January 2009
Allie using Brian as a table for Uno. She loves having her cards spread across the entire house.

Checking In
I have not done a very good job in 2009 of keeping up with all Allie's happenings. Even tonight I can promise no new pictures because I haven't downloaded anything since Christmas, the camera is downstairs, and I'm too lazy to go and grab it.
Allie is changing every day! Lets see - she loves her animals. She can identify and make the sound for turkey, sheep/lamb, shark, snake, owl, and cow. (I'm sure I'm forgetting some.) We've been working on cat and dog but to no avail. She'd rather stick with more unique sounds!
She still loves airplanes. She freezes every time one flies over and opens her mouth really wide. She waits until you provide the same reaction and then says "airplane". Even in the car she'll point and let you know that one is flying by. Elmo and Mickey Mouse also make the favorites list, along with puzzles (she is really good at puzzles), jumping on the bed, and collecting rocks.
She likes to do itsy, bitsy, spider. Her favorite is to request it while mom is driving. Her request is always put on hold until we hit a red light or stop, but she still keeps doing it. She also enjoys pat-a-cake, happy and you know it, and ring around the rosie.
Froggy still goes everywhere with her. He oftens gives kisses to whoever and whatever is in sight. He also like it when Allie feeds him snacks. :-) Brian and I are occasionally awakened in the middle of the night if he suddenly is MIA. She's definetely very attached to him.
Her vocabulary is growing immensly. It seems everyday something new is popping out of her mouth. We're working very hard on please and thank you, and to use our words instead of whining for things.
We've also officially entered the trantum stage. I'm sure they get worse but for now this is bad enough. They usually end pretty quickly, but it is still quite amazing how worked up she can get over the simplest of things. Yesterday it was because I turned off the light and she wanted it ON.
No trips planned anytime soon. Allie, Brian and I will probably be in Nebraska for Memorial Day weekend. Allie and I will be there for three weeks in July. We have talked about going to Disneyland in March but may just do a condo in San Diego in June. They all seem so far away but will be here before you know it.

I (heart) the Dukes of Hazzard
Yep, that is Bo and Luke on the front of Allie's nightgown! Once worn by me and now passed on to Allie.
